great to have Harris & Nicholls through

Will King and Barker start scoring points for Birmingham now?

 

the person i am most happy to see get through though is Adam Roynon. After all the injuries he has had, its great to see him riding well and with confidence.

Brummies and aces fans must be both pleased but puzzled how barker, king and cook can do so well in this individual event - others as per form book. Wonder if wild cards will be newman and kennett, unless something happens before/in the other semi.

Sounds like quite a ride from Bomber in his last ride to qualify although he should be making it a bit easier

The boy has got big balls, I'll give him that!! He knew he had to win to get through and the gap he went through on the outside of Cook was minuscule (or so it looked from where I was standing)

I'm no fan if Kennett but in the last few years he has often made the final in the British Final and he goes well at Wolves so would add something to the meeting. To be fair I don't understand why there is wildcards never used to be. I remember Mark Loram trying to ride at Ipswich in a semi with a broken collarbone he didn't get seeded! 8th place is a good enough reason to get a wildcard. Thing it does show is how much of a plank Middlo was to pick him in the World Cup last year!

Didn't the wild cards come in as a consequence of a rain curtailed meeting at Sheffield when Tai didn't make the top 8 after 12 heats. That was too much of a travesty and so they had to come up with a contingency to make sure the top riders made it through in the event they weren't quite good enough to make it on their own merit

That's surprising from Robson he normally has perfect machinery. Shame for him then.

 

How did Robson and Kerr ride?

Stuart shed a chain on the parade lap, was a poor third behind Harris & Wright, then passed and re-passed Compton behind Cook in his second ride. Fell in third place in his 3rd ride and retired from the back in his fourth. Not a good night for Stuart.

 

Lewis was great when he gated, pants if he didn't.
