Comments:
John Oliver receives rider of the month award.
Ht1: R/R Hawkins
Nermark by a mile! Tight first bend, Hawkins nearly came a cropper. Wright passed Hawkins on second lap. Harding looked a little slow- bike problems. Burnt clutch by the smell of it. Wright passed Harding going into bend 3 on final lap.
Ht2: Mills by a mile again. Eventful race for second though! Dennis passed Oliver coming out of bend two. Collins followed through. Neither looked comfortable and Oliver passed the pair of them on lap 3. Dennis pulled up on final lap when last.
Heat3: Tight first bend with Piszcz clattering into fence but managing to stay upright. Race was stopped before that though. Riders told to keep still at start. All 4 back.
Comfy 5-1 for the Aussies from the gate. Piszcz not really on the pace.
Heat4: Oliver ef coming out of bend two, lap one. Looked like a chain. Stead never far behind Topinka at the front.
Heat5: R/R Collins
Aussies taking turns to win. Batchelor gated but slowed going into bend three to allow Doolan to pass. Wright passed Collins lap 2. Put Batchelor under a bit of pressure in latter stages.
Heat6: T/R Stead
Nasty crash on 1st bend. Stead fell heavily. No one was going to give on first bend and Stead was the sandwich. All 4 back.
Stead is up. Nermark didn't fall but apparently hurt his foot, limping badly.
Stead out of meeting with concussion. Collins in as a replacement and takes the tac ride.
Nermark flew from gate. Harding slotted in behind him and Collins never troubled him. Dennis struggles a tad at the back.
Heat7: Oliver in for Mills
Piszcz led from gate. Topinka was all over him though and passed him on lap 3. oliver was stuck at the back at start but passed hawkins on first lap. Chased down piszcz and managed to get past him on the run in to the line.
Nermark being seen to again.
Heat8: Mills in for Oliver. T/R Piszcz.
Mills fell on final bend while second trying to go round Piszcz.
Heat9: Collins in for Stead.
Aussies from the gate again.
Heat10: Piszcz gated again. Nermark chased hard but never got near enough to really challenge.
Heat 11: R/R Dennis.
Great piece of team riding by Topinka. Wright was all over Topinka and Mills but just couldn't find a way past.
Heat12:Great battle for first couple of laps between Dennis and Oliver.
Heat 13: Mills in for Nermark. Dennis in for Stead.
Great race for second. Wright threw everything at Mills over the course of the race finally passing Mills on the run in to the line.
Heat 14: Another great gate from Piszcz led the race for 3 and a half laps. Doolan wasn't to be denied his maximum though and cut back to pass Piszcz going to bend 3 for the final time. Collins passed Mills at end of opening lap.
Heat 15: Line up. Doolan, Topinka, Piszcz, Wright.
KL take 1&3.
Great race again. Piszcz made his customary gate, topinka passed him at end of first lap. Doolan produced another last lap pass to secure maximum. Looked to be going for the blast round outside only for Piszcz to drift wide and Doolan cut back superbly.
Thanks to Mr Mungo for the texts and to everyone for looking in. Goodnight.
