I can't remember but we tried Pod Orlem, Brda etc and they were full. If you get in great, maybe they've had some rooms become available since then.

Yep forgot to mention that earlier, Neiminen did well, was always on the pace, just come back from injury also hasn't he? Practised at Belle Vue on Monday after the meeting.

I think GB will get through to the final no problem, probably with Sweden. Final will be close between Australia, Denmark and GB. Think Australia will do it though.

How can they be the best team if they didn't finish with the most points. OK each member may have scored a similar amount but the Aussies scored one 1 point without using tacticals which meant they were the best team on the night. Also Wiltshire had an engine failure when leading plus that crash, they would have won by even more.

Think you were watching a different meeting then, virtually every heat in the last 10 heats had some sort of passing.

What a difference it made when they finally put some water on the track! The last 10 heats or so were great! It was so dusty at the start didn't look like they had watered it at all beforehand! Bet BSI were worrying when Great Britian were leading, would of been a very small crowd on Thursday if they had gone straight through to the final. Last time Australia went straight through to the final they won both times. Somehow don't think they will use Schlein on Saturday, he was dissappointing, think they will use McGowan instead. Think the Great Britian team will stay unchanged, they all rode well tonight. Who came up with the heat format/gate positions! The team in yellow (Australia tonight) having gate 1 in the last two heats!

BET some of you were sweating when Great Britain were leading!!!

Our tickets say 8:00 on them. So an hour earlier then last year and an hour later then normal GP's.

Only thing I don't like about that one is that it doesn't have gate positions.

If you are talking about for the GP, doubt you will get one, we struggled and that was back in March.

My tickets have arrived now from seetickets. Like I said I have 2 for sale, standing tickets. Should be £23 each. Will sell them for £40. email me at rbecking@yahoo.com

Yeah understand it but they had the winner from heat 21 and 22 , and the winner from heat 23, for the 3 qualifiers. Not sure why they needed a 3rd chance in heat 24.

Well the spectators got their money worth.

What was the point in that heat 24? 6 riders go through from one of the ones tomorrow, think its the Slovakia one but I'm not 100%.

Because there were some poor riders in it. In some of the GP's this year 7 points has been enough to get in the top 8 due to fairly balanced field.

So qualifiers are. Andersen Holta Kolodziej Jagus Laukkanen Gafurov should be reserve. So final standings should be : 2 Hans Andersen (Dania) 3 2 3 3 w =11 5 Rune Holta (Norwegia) 3 1 2 2 3 =11 6 Janusz Kołodziej (Polska) 1 3 2 1 3 = 10 13 Wiesław Jaguś (Polska) 2 3 2 1 2 = 10 15 Kai Laukkanen (Finlandia) 3 3 1 2 1 = 10 8 Renat Gafurov (Rosja) 2 2 2 2 2 = 10 14 Lukas Dryml (Czechy) 1 1 3 3 2 = 10 4 Danis Gizatulin (Rosja) 1 3 1 3 1 = 9 16 Sebastian Ułamek (Polska) 0 1 1 3 3 = 8 10 Rory Schlein (Australia) 3 u 3 1 0 = 7 9 Kenneth Bjerre (Dania) 2 2 1 0 2 = 7 11 Bohumil Brhel (Czechy) 1 2 3 0 0 = 6 1 Christian Hefenbrock (Niemcy) 2 0 0 1 3 = 6 7 Stephan Katt (Niemcy) 0 1 0 2 1 = 4 3 Henrik Moller (Dania) 0 0 0 0 1 = 1 12 Mikke Bjerk (Norwegia) 0 0 0 0 d = 0

Laukkanen wins last run off.

Now, Dryml v Gafurov v Laukkanen for last place.

Jagus won the first run off so is through. Kolodziej won the second run off so is through.

Strange they always use heats wins in GP's etc.

Yes I guess so.

I presume there will be a final for the top 4, not that it really matters.

Kolodziej, Dryml and Laukkanen had 2 wins so they go through. Jagus has 1 and Gafurov had none.
