Thanks Rich, you did a great job mate. Lawt will post a full report tomorrow, but it turned out as quite a dismal night for us... not so much the result but David's injury and how it happened.
It seemed almost certain that the wrist is broken. He had it strapped up and was clearly in a lot of pain. This would be a huge blow for us, as he's 5th in the averages and very difficult to cover for. We wouldn't be allowed guests, and Rider Replacement would not be much use either... only Adam and the two reserves could take rides. Seems much more likely to me that we would sign a short term replacement... Jesper would be the obvious guy if the averages fit.
Obviously I wish David well, and hopefully it's not broken... but it didn't look good at all.
The most annoying aspect was that he hit this hole / rut or whatever on the 3rd and 4th bend that had been causing big problems all night. It caused Sam's crash early on (he was really battered and bruised around his eye) and Adam, Peter and Mikael all hit it at different times. David hit the same spot in Heat 14 and it caused his really heavy fall. The track staff seemed totally oblivious to it for most of the night, and when they tried to do anything it was only after heat 14.
The in the final race, Mikael was battling with Havelock, hit the same spot and reared alrmingly, heading wide and almost collecting Peter too. This could have been a disaster, but he just regained control in time. At the speeds they travel at Peterborough, this is no joke!
So there you go, a disappointing result but a much bigger blow is David's injury... and very annoying when it's caused by someone else's cr** track!
Cheers, Mark

Thanks to Rich for updating the Forum throughout last night's meeting. I don't know whether I should alter my report now that I have seen the news of David's injury...... ..and I thought we had been lucky!!

I see there are 25 people on the forum tonight waiting for the results I wonder if that is a record? ;D At one stage during the Peterborough meeting we had 37 people on the forum ;D
