Excellent gating from Jamie..... 1st ~ Jamie Smith 14 pts 2nd ~ Thomas Stange 13 pts 3rd ~ Robert Miskowiak 12 pts Ryan Fisher 11 pts Tomas Suchanek 11 pts Rinat Gafurov 11 pts Rafal Kurmanski 9 pts All qualify for the Semi's, next was Primoz Klenovsek 8 pts

after 4 each..... Jamie Smith ~ 12 Suchanek ~ 10 Stange ~ 10 Miskowiak ~ 9 Gafurov ~ 9 Kurmanski ~ 8 Ryan Fisher ~ 8 Schäfer ~ 6

after 3 each... Jamie Smith ~ 9 Suchanek ~ 8 Stange ~ 8 Kurmanski ~ 6 Miskowiak ~ 6 Gafurov ~ 5 Schäfer ~ 5 Ryan Fisher ~ 5 By the way...Top 7 qualify. And I should be getting updates from the other Round from Wiener Neustadt tomorrow lunchtime, involving Howe, Hampel, Kasprzak, Appleton, Kolenko etc...as well as a young fave of mine Christian Hefenbrock of Germany.

Terenzano is a BIG track, and apparently it's slick. Not unusual for Italy. Scorer's so far....I guess it after Heat 8 - don't quote me! Suchanek ~ 6 Jamie Smith ~ 6 Kurmanski ~ 5 Stange ~ 5 Schäfer ~ 4 Miskowiak ~ 4 Fisher's on 2 ! :?

Some delay due to the crash... Fisher fell and excluded in Heat 4, he brought down Klenovsek. Woops!

Kurmanski has won Heat 1 Suchanek Heat 2 Bad smash in 3 involving Linhart and Gizatullin

This meetings going-on now, I'm getting some info and I believe this is the line-up: 1 René Schäfer - Germany 2 Szegedi Máté - Hungary 3 Rafal Kurmanski - Poland 4 Marco Gregnanin - Italy 5 Primoz Legan - Slovenia 6 Thomas Stange - Germany 7 Szabolcs Vida - Hungary 8 Tomas Suchanek - Czecho 9 Denis Gizatullin - Russia 10 Robert Miskowiak - Pol 11 Daniele Tessari - Ita 12 Patrik Linhart - Czecho 13 Jamie Smith - GB 14 Ryan Fisher - USA 15 Rinat Gafurov - Russia 16 Primoz Klenovsek - Slovenia Res:17 Mattia Carpanese - Italy Yes I know, we haven't heard of too many of them. Kurmanski is the class of the field, but Fishy and Smith are there and hopefully will progress.

Is it Gail ?

Err...any room for a small friendly one ladies :?: 8)

Ooh and I kept every copy Lioness.... ....NOT !

I can't imagine anywhere being able to beat Hyde Road, certainly not in my lifetime anyway. What a place ! The added attraction being the fair for me when I was a kid. My Dad used to drive the coach up there everytime either Coventry or Leicester(I think) raced there, I always went with him and he used to let me drive it round the massive car park when I was about 8 !!! But inside the stadium the sound was incredible, and it was amazing walking up the outside of the track-fence so close to the high-speed riders. What I'd give to have all that again ??????!!!!!!!

Did ya have to mention Bjorn Again, Liontamer ? Geddit ?

Matt, it means that for every £8 you bet on TRicky winning it, you would win £13. Or to put it another way, put a measly £2 on him and you'd get back £3.25 plus your £2 stake.

I see Frank Smart won the Craig Hodgson Memorial meeting, ahead of Chris Collins and Jamie Birkinshaw.
