Parsloes said on a thread in the CL section that Gary Beaton was riding in this one so he may be one of them?

Well done Ben - he's been the hard luck story in the qualifiers the last two years - and now not only is he through, but through in style, beating the Rye boys around their own patch.

 

What happens to the fourth placed qualifiers, such as Jamie Courtney. There's six seeds to the final, plus three qualifiers from three rounds. Makes 15 riders. Is there a run-off between the three fourth-placed riders?

 

All the best

Rob

Perhaps the three 4th placed riders have a run off for the last remaining space and then the other 2 are used as the meetings resereves.

Or Peter Oakes decides.

Or Kings Lynn pick Lambert.
