The Tigers get off their customary poor start conceeding a 5-1 in the
first heat, although it has to be said the Monarchs have a tasty pair of riders
at 1&2 averaging over 15 points between them. Race was restarted after Henrik
was squeezed out on turn 1, but it was all-4-back after he'd received some medical
attention. Derek Sneddon graciously gifted our reserves some points when he
fell in the latter stages of heat 2, but Kyle gets the ball rolling with a win
in heat 3. Will Lawson was all over him for three laps then snuck into the lead
on the second turn, but Kyle went back around him on the fourth turn. Benji
threw his bike at the fence (again) in heat 4 but big brother took a stylish
win. The Monarchs were briefly troubled by Ricky in heat 5, but only briefly.
André won heat 6 from the gate, but Cooperman was tailed off well behind
Henrik and Theo. Rusty Harrison recovered well to challenge Kyle in heat 7 and
took the lead at the start of the third lap. Ben Wilson is the shock leader
of heat 8 and it takes Theo three laps before he is able to get past. André
(on a tactical) is the comfortable winner of heat 9 but Cooperman is not at
the races. Emiliano traps to win heat 10 just hanging on despite Henrik's last
bend lunge.
Ricky challenges Rusty for the lead but bounces off the 4th turn fence
at the end of lap 2 letting Ben through into second place. Then Ben picks up
drive on the last lap and careers into the fence. Kyle takes a six point win
in heat 12 but once again Cooperman trails home last. Rusty and Ricky dice for
the lead in heat 13 and Henrik passes André on the second lap, nearly
catching Ricky too on the line. Benji traps to lead heat 14 but is a bit hairy.
William Lawson eventually picks his way past and then Benji's bike slows in
the dying stages and he just holds on to the solitary point. Kyle falls on the
first corner of heat 15 and it's all-4-back again. André traps in the
restart and it's all over.
Hope Ben is OK....
