Generally the fastest riders cut in on turn one and float wide. Turn 3 differs more, but the best racing is when they can just ride the boards.
Not fastest tonight, but I believe he's got the fastest time this year, unless it was beaten in the test match.
Not sure if someone has complained about the air fence. FIM official examining it with the track staff now. Can't say I ever remember it being an issue before though, and it's not changed, so perhaps I'm just reading too much into it. Not much else to do right now. Tapping away at least keeps my fingers warm
We have seen some good racing, but Milik and Thomsen both just go their lines wrong.
Holder was unlucky - he high sided and got collected. The fall was awkward but he would've got up from it.
Ambulance 2 on track again. Ambulance 3 just left with Chris Holder... Ambulance 1 is up at the pits but seems we might have a reasonable stoppage again.
Unfortunate accidents really.
Nilsson's last two rides are off 1 and 4. Heat 15 is tough, but heat 18 could be a good one for him based on what we've seen so far. Gate 4, no big guns (two riders with one point combined, and Drew Kemp).
It's the rider who gets to turn one first. Not a term I'd ever seen used in speedway before Discovery used it this year, but it's common in motorbike racing on tracks.
