RJD

Sir Lunchalot has it wrong must have been listening to the Ref because Sam had a discussion with him after the meeting. Sam was hit from behind by Beau Evans. Beau came up and apologised shortly after which was good of him but doesn't change the situation. Tom Hedley came off and everyone was watching that and no one else was watching what was actually going on with the other three riders in that heat

One of the unluckiest riders of the day would have to have been Sam Dore who had two superb rides early beating Tom Hedley and Lee Herne in one of his outings and then unfortunately was hit from behind in his final heat when challenging for the lead in the first and second bend, sending him straight towards the fence. He bailed off the back of the bike which then cannoned into the fence and ended up in a sad state, ending his day. He would have undoubtedly made the semi finals and the way he was going would have given it a fair shake there to. Two top meetings in the row where Sam has been put out by other , having suffered the same issue in the Victorian Title a few weeks ago Must be a magnet.

Sam Dore was not injured. He was excluded in first ride for a first corner fall. In his second ride he was taken out and a foot rest went through his front wheel removing half the spokes and bending his chassis. Only operating one bike in this country so had nothing left to ride hence he withdrew from the meeting.
