Thought Jack Holder was unlucky to get pulled up for jumping start in heat 10 looked like a good gate from where I was stood on bend 4. 

I was stood on the start/finish line and he did jump as did Howarth in his first ride, but for some reason he got away with that. It seems that if you're on gate 3 it's worth a punt

Felt for Kyle Howarth last night, found cure for ignition issue with bike number 1 after two rides and had good win over Max Fricke in third ride, then in fourth ride through no fault of his own whilst trying to avoid Ryan Douglas who’d locked up on exit of bend 2 clashed with him causing chain to go and cause around £2k worth of damage to his bike!  Engine case cracked and gashed so that’s for scrapper, diamond squashed where chain flattened the tubing, engine plates damaged, clutch wrecked including basket, throttle cable snapped and that’s just for starters!!  It’s an expensive sport especially for someone who isn’t going to be on the receiving end of massive sponsorship or at the top of ££ per points.  But you know what he still put his kit away, went to the bar to meet the fans, had some pics with some kids, when he could have just got in van and drove home with no interaction with fan base like a lot of riders.  Went up in my estimations for that
