Heat 2: Line-up
Zagar - Andersen - Rymel - B Pedersen
Result: Zagar. Andersen. Rymel. B Pedersen

Heat 3: Line-up
Iversen - Hampel - Protasiewicz - Sullivan
Result: Iversen. Sullivan. Protasiewicz. Hampel
Comments:You guessed it, another good gate off 1, this time for Iversen. Sullivan passed Pepe going into the 3rd lap and caught up with Iversen too, but unable to pass him! It was stated that Sullivan is the only rider on the new Barum type, wonder if this helped?!?

Crump - Iversen - N Pedersen Simota- Rymel
Result: Crump. Iversen. Rymel. Simota
Comments:N Pedersen excluded for tapes offence! This was not a good decision as Rymel moved first off gate 4, making Pedersen move off gate 3! Nikki in good spirits in the pits over this! Sam Simota takes gate 3 now
Pretty much from the gate, Simota was in front of Rymel with Rymel coming under him at the end of 3rd lap, Simota fell but remounted at the back.
Heat 7: Line-up

Result: Hampel. Andersen. Adams

Result: Sullivan. Zagar (only 2 finish)
Comments:Pedersen excluded, 2nd lap he was coming up the inside of 1st/2nd bend in 3rd place, Sullivan was wide in 2nd place. Pedersen basically cut across and took Sullivans front wheel! Richardson was in front at the time (can he do it again?)
Sullivan made a fantasic start! Dubious start between Zagar and Richardson, clashed as they came away from the tapes, Richardson came to a stop, Ref never stopped race. According to Johno - Zagars foot rest ripped out loads of the spokes from Richardson's rear wheel!

Pedersen excluded from the re-run.
Adams from the gate again.
Heat 12: Line-up
Jonsson - Gollob - Iversen - Andersen
Result: Andersen. Gollob. Jonsson. Iversen
Comments: Andersen didn't make the gate off of 4, so he cut back and coming out of the 2nd bend he just swept across in front of Gollob! Typical Andersen move is how I would describe it! Iversen fell at the back on the last bend.
