well FlyinRyan,
being off gate one was probably the worst one to be off,it didn't have the usual adavantage that the inside gate has,may I suggest you look at the replay of the heat Hans clearly looks right and clearly see it's a Swede and then takes a very unusual line for him going into a bend,he pins it on the line,now having seen Hans many many a time the guy nenver does that he alaways goes in tight and comes out wider than any other guy,thats why to me it looked so obvious in his tactics.
Good luck to the guy he probably had his biggest moment in speedway last night,but what goes around comes around and in time he will be in the wrong place at the wrong time!!
