*************************
Comments:
Lineups confirmed.
Track (and weather) looks fine.
Paul Ackroyd ref.
Swindon win toss and take gates 1 and 3.
Ht 1: R/R Johnston.
Unsatisfactory start, all 4 back. Ref held tapes for a seriously long time and there was a bit of movement.
Re-run: Nicholls made slightly better gate but Adams just managed to edge ahead of him entering 1st bend. Good ride by Nicholls in early stages to slow Ulamek down (slightly) allowing Johnston to pass him on lap 2. Johnston picked up some unwanted grip on 3rd lap (bend 2) allowing Ulamek back into third.
Ht 2: Ref held tapes for a very, very long time again. Nearly caught Balinski out who was extremly close to touching the tapes.
Moore rode well to pass Janniro at end of the opening lap, but his bike slowed a lap later gifting Coventry the easiest of 5-1s.
Ht 3: Swindon 5-1 from the gate. Harris got stuck behind Smolinski for a few laps. Once Harris got clear of his team mate he soon caught up to Chrzanowski and swooped round him on the final bend.
Ht 4: Very tight on the first bend. Schlein led the race for 3 3/4 laps. Gjedde always looked faster though and swooped past him on the final bend. P'haps helped by Schlein who rode a very tight line on the final bend (rode wide for the other 3 3/4 laps), for some reason.
Ht 5: Janniro R/R. From the gate. Well spread out by the end of the race.
Ht 6: Ulamek excluded under 2 minutes. He was trying to fix something on his bike and ran out of time. Balinski in as replacement.
Balinski flew from the gate and never troubled. Janniro close to Adams in early stages but his challenge simmered out by the second lap.
Ht 7: Great race for 1st and 3rd. Harris passed Moore on lap 2. Gjedde squeezed round Smolinski at end of 3rd lap and just held onto third on the line.
Ht 8: Schlein R/R.
Balinski fell lap 2 while in second. He got up pretty quickly, but the airfence was damaged, so the ref stopped the race.
Balinski excluded. Race to be re-run. Coventry were on a 4-2 before Balinski fell.
Re-run: From the gate.
Ht 9: Janniro (on Harris' machine) fell 2nd bend. He got up quickly allowing to race to go on.
Ht 10: Smolinski and Ulamek clattered into each other out of the start. From the gate. Easy for Adams.
Ht 11: Smolinski R/R. Smolinski from the gate and despite a few rather hairy moments hung on to the win. Nicholls with a poor gate but passed Moore lap one, and got by Gjedde (who got out of shape) on lap 2.
Ht 12: Johnston in as reserve replacement instead of Janniro.
Excellent team riding by Richardson. Harris all over the Swindon pairing but no way through.
Ht 13: Adams moved at start, and bit lucky to get away with it.
Nicholls pulled up towards the end of the race while stone last.
Schlein close to Adams at times, but never looked likely to pull off a pass.
Ht 14: Balinski in for Moore. Harris in as a TS instead of Johnston.
Harris into second at the end of the second lap but Balinski did his job by holding him up for a few laps. Harris close to Chrzanowski at the end of the race but just needed an extra lap.
Ht 15 lineup: Adams, Richardson, Harris, Nicholls.
Swindon off gates 1 and 3.
Richardson fell entering bend 3 whilst leading! He was under severe pressure by Nicholls but no contact.
Race to be re-run without Richardson.
Nicholls clamped Adams onto inside allowing Harris a free run on the outside to pass the pair of them. Adams got by Nicholls on second lap but couldn't do anything about Harris.
