Nickinho

Worrall finished ahead of Harris in Heats 13 and 15 as well

He's never taken to Ashfield in all the times he's ridden it and it's a track he doesn't look like he's ever going to master. 7 will be his average at home. Maybe Cammy brought him in for the away meetings which are important over the course of the season but I can't say if this is what went through his mind when signing him. I'm a bit biased because I miss Glasgow having Claus in the team as he was always good entertainment and hard riding.

It's not all doom and gloom though for the Tigers if JP maintains his third heat leader scores and Flint ups his game. If this happens then Glasgow would have four heat leaders and a handy pair of reserves. Not bad at all. The season is long.

I was near the line on the home straight and also thought Harris had at least nicked third. The subsequent announcement surprised me.

I listened to his interview on the EMTV podcast before the meeting and he was so positive and up for this meeting that it was scary. He's on another level this season but it was his comments about the current Edinburgh team which intrigued me. He has so much confidence in them and that seems to be filtering throughout the team to good effect. This result confirms this.

It does seem a bit odd especially considering there's a bonus point decided over two legs so ideally the run-off/superheat should have taken place after the 2nd leg in the event of a tie overall. Great racing though and Josh and Chris were superb. Btw, does anyone know what prompted the fight in the second half race? I missed it.

This result could go either way depending upon whether Starke, Stevie W, Kye and Paco turn up and produce a good showing. None of them have been consistent this season but maybe they can all start putting that right tonight and we'll see some great derby action.

Dan's performances in the big league this season have really impressed me. He certainly doesn't look out of place there.

Stevie probably just had an off night. Let's be honest, we all have them. I once accidentally ran over several people with a forklift at my workplace and the fact that I was drunk and had stolen the vehicle from a nearby factory for a dare didn't exactly help my cause at the tribunal. I'm sure we'll see a much improved Stevie next week.

I must admit I didn't fancy Workington at the start of the season but they were very impressive tonight

That's the tattie bus heading back to Workington. They won't be short of potatoes in Workington tonight.

Great racing today, no spills, nice weather. A perfect Friday night.
