Are there not a couple of wildcard spots? Though I think they normally go to then next best from the qualifiers

Hope all 4 riders in the final are alright after that strange finish

1. Hagon 2. J Thompson 3. Harrison 4. Cairns 5. Mulford 6. Scott 7. Perry 8. A Pijper 9. Hodder 10. Trigger 11. Killeen 12. Foord 13. Boughen 14. McGurk 15. Summers 16. Shimelt 17. D Thompson 18. S Pijper (Hopefully I've done the count back right)

Hope Dan is okay, scary looking crash

There will be extra water breaks throughout the meeting in case BSN didn't mention it.

To be fair he did finish 8th so would have been in the semis if we were using last years format, just a few riders scoring all the points

That looked horrible

Forgot that, still have the semi finals in my head

He'll qualify in the last position, come from behind to nick 2nd in the LCQ and then have a perfect gate to win the final.

Phil Morris saw this comment and decided we couldn't be having any entertainment and flooded the track

Real shame as he looked good in the meetings I saw him in. Unless they pull a miraculous signing I can't see Edinburgh even finish 8th especially when Victor gets his real average.

Only a draw if you lose (I don't like them either)

He came 3rd but that might be one of Ashton's most promising rides, kept stuck in for all 4 laps

Think he might be on a 4.50 converted from his Prem average which would certainly be a masterstroke as he could go to reserve when Mitch gets his average

Happy to see Gusts will still be riding in the UK. Ashame for Gilkes though and hopefully he'll be able to recover well and quickly. If he is out for longer, I am looking forward to seeing Gusts at Glasgow as I rate him highly.

Gutted for Bomber, thought he was going to win the whole thing into the last lap and he finishes it last.

As Glasgow fans we are used to our kids races (we do 2 now) the issue is that it looked like after that had finished there was a further 15-20 minutes of nothing happening on track at all, not even a tractor going round. Maybe BSN missed some stuff or if there were multiple interval entertainment sections spreading them over the other intervals instead of just one would have helped. My guess was a sun delay that BSN wasn't told about but have no clue if the sun was even out.

Ashton made it through the first corner without shutting off, that's an improvement

Think it will be June 1st, at the moment straight to No1

Not that it was really needed but great team riding in heat 3

Think they mean more that Paco is riding instead of a guest tonight so the other 6 riders need to click together as Paco isn't the strongest round Ashfield (or at best not consistent)

I think it was Leon said in an interview that him and Dan are still getting used to riding with each other (knowing where each wants to go) so I think it's fine to leave riding order as is, if those 2 click together it makes it very difficult for the away team to get any momentum/make any tac subs against them.

Was also on BSN which does affect crowds, same at Glasgow on Sunday.

Is he not on a 9.20 now anyway since he's not started the year in the championship he'd use his converted Prem average?

Think it was a few meetings before that when Ace took him out and he wasn't particularly pleased. Think this downturn in form though came after his crash in the CLRC at Redcar last year, hasn't been the same since.
