Ricky Ashworth picks his way through the field to lead down the back
straight, and Ben Wilson makes it a winning start by passing David Meldrum on
the inside exiting turn two on the second lap. Benji Compton traps and leads
heat 2 all the way to the line, but Danny Warwick makes Paul Cooper work hard
for second place. Kyle's lightning start sees him leading heat 3 with Emiliano
tucked in behind but unsure whether to ride tight or wide. Michal Makovsky climbs
all over his rear wheel before slicing under him on the third bend on lap three.
André takes heat 4 with ease while Benji extends our lead by outpacing
the pedestrian Craig Branney. Emiliano looked to have heat 5 in the bag until
his experimental wide blast on the third and fourth turns sees him fall, but
Kyle made amends for a poor start in the rerun passing Adrian Rymel on the inside
exiting the pits turn at the end of the third lap to win.
Ricky won heat 6 at a stroll, and André followed suit in heat 7 while
all Paul's hard work in passing Lee Smethills on the last bend of the third
lap was undone when he subsequently ground to a halt. Benji passed David Meldrum
on the fourth bend to follow Ben home for a big 5-1 in heat 8. It was all change
in heat 9 as Danny Warwick initially led until Kyle passed him at the end of
the first lap. Andreas Bergström was on a tactical so was soon gifted second
place, but that allowed Emiliano the opportunity to pass Danny on the pits bend
on the third lap. Lee Smethills led heat 10 with Ricky trailing the field.
By the start of lap 2 Ricky was leading with Ben Wilson on his heels, although
Michal Makovsky did manage to out drag Ben out of the last bend to claim second
place.
André led heat 11 but Paul worked wonders to pass both Bandits exiting
turn two. Paul was then left to single handedly fight off their simutaneous
challenges,
which he managed until Adrian got around him on the very last turn. Emiliano
took his first home win rounding Lee Smethills on the second turn, second lap,
heat 12, but Benji just couldn't find his way past Danny leaving the heat shared.
Ricky and André were untroubled in heat 13 after a restart when Adrian
tumbled on the first turn. Michal, on a tactical, passed Paul on the pits bend
and then had a ding-dong scrap with Kyle before taking the full six points in
heat 14. Heat 15 proved to be a major disappointment for Ricky for although
in the early stages he looked set to complete his maximum alas it was not to be
as his clutch disintegrated!
Were the Tigers that good, or the Bandits that bad? Watch this space and
we'll find out...
