Heat 1: Max,howe,larsen,watson. 5-1 / 5-1-- from the gate, easy heat advantage----------------------------------------- Heat 2: Allen,stonehewer,neath,manchester(e/f). 4-2/9-3----- Allen lead from the gate but was overtaken by manchester who lead until e/f,neath challenging stoney---------------------

[Mr 8]

Double figures for Sam tonight?

[stevebrum]

Heat 3: Ermolenko,johnston,dryml,skornicki. 3-3/12-6-------- overtaking galore! Vue pair gated,on 5-1, sam came thru and created gap for adam so wolves on 5-1 until adam overcooked last bend and, with sam ahead, all 3 over line together!---- Heat 4: First bend collision between lyons and neath, both down for a while but both now up so there"s a delay. Rich says it looked nasty but both riders look ok(good news!)

[stevebrum]

If Sam gets double figures it"ll be the difference between us going out or going thru, COME ON SAMMY!

Heat 4: (re-run) Lyons,neath,karlsson,stonehewer. 3-3/15-9-- Vue on a 5-1 until neath took stoney followed by pk and pk team rode for a drawn heat---------------------------------- Heat 5: Ermolenko,skornicki,larsen,watson. 5-1 / 20-10------ From the gate,larsen challenged adam for 2 laps then dropped back.

[stevebrum]

Heat 6: Lyons,howe,max,manchester. 3-3 / 23-13--- Vue again gated but on second bend mike and david come either side of him and set after lyons - David on outside, Mikael on inside. Mikeal overcooked a couple of bends and was taken by Manchester but mikael managed to get back past. Another good race-------------------------------------------------------- Heat 7: Karlsson,johnston,allen,dryml. 4-2 / 27-15-----from the gate, pretty spread out, dryml 3rd until had e/f

[Mr 8]

Sam in heat 15? When was the last time?

[stevebrum]

Heat 8: Larsen,howe,neath,stonehewer. 3-3 / 30-18----- Larsen all the way, neath challenged for 2 laps then david took over and challenged for last 2 laps.------------------- Heat 9: Lyons,skornicki,ermolenko,manchester. 3-3 / 33-21--- Again Vue gated for sam and adam to take manchester, manchester took sam only for sam to take him again.

[stevebrum]

Yea,Sam looking good but not exactly the strongest of opposition is it?

[Mr 8]

No it isn't. Nevertheless we look like getting into the semi-final and fight another day. I hope all the riders get points tonight, but it would be nice for Sam to get a big score.

[stevebrum]

Heat 10: Max,howe,johnston,dryml. 5-1 / 38-22--- Max easy winner, howe and johnston trading places until david secured second by last lap. dryml well off pace--------------------- Heat 11: Karlsson,larsen,allen,watson. 4-2 / 42-24---------- Fairly spread out,good race between allen and watson both swaping places before olly secured 3rd. Interval now, Rich thinks that Vue might start making tac/subs or have they thrown in the towel?

[Mr 8]

Both. They will give some extra rides, without doing it expecting to win. What a shambles Belle Vue have become. They used to be almost unbeatable when I first started watching Wolves.
