incredibly difficult round for the 3 GB lads in Sweden, i hope people here don't get on their backs if they fail to qualify.
if they ride to their full potential all 3 are capable though
Worrall got his puncture coming out of turn 2 of last lap but it finally gave out by the time he was at bend 4.
Ablitt bounced into Stoneman and his footrest went into Stoneman's front wheel causing it to collapse, could have been so much worse
riders only allowed to use one new tyre but the Germans turned up with other scrubbed tyres so always had a good edge. like i said, obviously within the rules and a lesson learnt for some, all part of the experience
Flint had all sorts of problems wih his Polish bikes, just couldn't get to the bottom of the problem, and limited practice didn't help.
and from what i saw the Germans certainly used the rules to their advantage, big lesson learnt i think by the other riders
