It's not the Rocket's year is it! The Tigers scrape into their first final of the season, but hardly deserved to after an inept display by many of their riders. One race win apiece for Ben and André, and only Ben, André and Paul managed to finish second. For Benji not to manage better than third place isn't good, but for Emiliano Sanchez and Ricky Ashworth between them to score only three points from eight starts is appalling. Ben and Paul added three points from Kyle's rider replacement outings. Workington beat King's Lynn 51-39 in the other semi-final tonight, but I fear we will face a heavy drubbing against the Stars in the final.
