Fisher excluded & is replaced by Mitchell. Re Run - Wright gated & led all the way. Josh was 2nd but went too wide on turn 4 lap 1 & Howe passed him. All riders well strung out at the end. A few spots of rain falling now.

Heat 12 - Re Run: Schlein, Lawson, Rajkowski, Davey 60.3 Line Up: David Howe Mitchell Davey, William Lawson, Mikael Rajkowski, Rory Schlein Comments:Unsatisfactory start, looked like William got a flyer. No warning from the ref though Re run: Howe is excluded for breaking the tapes. To be replaced by Mitchell in the re run. Re Run 2: FTG and pretty strung out again. Heat 13: Wright, Schlein, Clews, Wells 58.7 Line Up: Rory Schlein, Ricky Wells, Paul Clews, James Wright Comments:Again FTG. Wright looking good. Well spread out again. Heat 14: Grieves, Ashworth, Parker, Howe 60.4 Line Up: James Grieves, David Howe, Ricky Ashworth, Shane Parker Comments:Grievesy made the gate and lead all the way. All 4 riders really close.

Heat 17: Wright, Ashworth, Rajkowski, Makovsky 59.3 Line Up: James Wright, Ricky Ashworth, Michal Makovsky, Mikael Rajkowski Comments:Wright made the gate and was gone.

Heat 19: Wethers, Wells, Sitera, Howe 61.0 Line Up: Filip Sitera , Ricky Wells, David Howe, Matthew Wethers Comments:Pretty even break from the tapes, Wethers swept round the outside to take the lead. After that he was untroubled. Nobody close to making a pass after the first couple of bends. Heat 20 - Re Run: Parker, Fisher, Lawson 59.9 Line Up: Ryan Fisher, Paul Clews, Shane Parker, William Lawson Comments: Race stopped. Clews Excluded. Exiting turn 4 he clatterd into the side of William. Both riders went down & William into the fence. Both riders up and walked back to the pits unaider. Delay is likely while the fence is repaired. Re Run - Race re run with 3 riders. FTG again. William had a hairy moment when he lifted exiting turn 2 but stayed on. Riders well sprea Semi Final: Fisher, Ashworth, Lawson, Parker (Retired) 59.6 Line Up: William Lawson, Ricky Ashworth, Shane Parker, Ryan Fisher Comments:FTG. Fisher won comfortably. Lawson close to Ashworth. Shane pulled into the pits on lap 4 when well at the back. Final: Fisher, Ashworth, Schlein, Wright 59.9 Line Up: James Wright, Rory Schlein, Ricky Ashworth, Ryan Fisher Comments:Fisher led, at the end of lap 1 Wright passed him. Exiting bend 2 on lap 2 Fisher lifted & went across Wright causing Wright to shut off. Fisher then went on to win. Wright clearly not pleased with the ref. The crowd not happy either. Common opinion is that Fisher should have been excluded. **************************** Thanks for viewing! « Last Edit: Today at 06:45:10pm by Andy1 » Report to moderator Logged Thanks to the tiggers forum for the updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowGuy Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 To say Glasgow Guy said Ashworth wouldn't win it he had a good go. Never suggsted my predictions were any good! Must say that was the best I have ever seen Ricky ride today, he was very quick, aggressive (controlled) and sharp, he looked like a serious challenger from his first ride .. as I say, I've never previously seen him ride better. Shook his hand afterwards and congratulated him on his efforts. Also shook Mr Fisher by the hand and congratulated him (don't telll any fellow Glasgow fans or I'll be banned!) .. he did lift dangerously in the final and thwarted Wright's run around the outside, but it can happen in speedway. He wasn't a stand out throughout, but credit where credit's due, he peaked at the right time and won. As Paulco has indicated, these non-team events are different from the standard bread & butter, and that's their attraction for me .. emotionally it was like having a week off!
