Ht1. Eastbourne pair gate but PK splits them by passing kennett up the inside. he cant gain on floppy tho.
Wiilie way at the back but at least hes tested the track now.

Ht2. WE GATE!!! magnus bustles his way to the front then somehow completely messes up the 3rd and 4th bends and both eagles are thru.
woodward takes advantage of a slight mistake by william to pass him up the inside on the last lap.
Magnus says this is his favourite track!!! lord help us!!

Ht3. pretty much from the gate. ronnie looks fast and challenges for a lap but shields is round the outside. barker nips at freddies heels but a safe 3all.

Ht4. Hamill gates ahead just on pedsersen and barges pedersen out of way whilst he maintain the challenge through-out. Magnus gates 3rd and maintains it whilst bridgers spins round on the the last lap but is already behind.

Ht5.from the gate. pk challenges shields and barker challenges pk. not much passing at mo.
The track however DOES look good but it must be scorched tho!

Ht6.billy leads for 63 out of 64th of the lap riding wide to keep floppy out. some reason he rides inside on the last bend and floppy passes him outside on the line.
oh dear!

Ht7. pedersen gates tho freddie chases him for a lap and looks quick - however pedersen pulls away.
Ronnie gets caught in traffic behind freddie and in front of woodward but manages to secure 3rd once the race progresses.

Ht8. first running - kennett gates whilst magnus and bridger battle for 3rd - bridger comes down and cant get up in time so hes excluded and its re-run.
in the re-run - kennett again gates - freddie tries and gets close on the 2nd bend but cant quite get close enough.

Ht9. From the gate (are we seeing a pattern again as eastbourne are now doin a belle vue of a track). the track is now looking pretty rubbish and pretty slick.
the riders are riding so wide that there actually covering the wolves fans in shale. usually dont happen. Dugard is doin his best but it looks like it may need some major work in the break - or if there working that well for the home side maybe take more off?!

Ht10.Freddie gates but fails to get on the line, floppy does and he takes advantage.
Kennett and ronnie battle but kennett firmly shuts the door on ronnie.
Ten down and time for a tactical me thinks.

INTERVAL

Ht11.PK on a tac ride. everyone has gone down the pits, dont know why! woodward fell and remounted.

Ht12. bridger celebrates with wheelies says it all.
It was felt with track grading we should have tried billy as a tac sub off 15 metres as the were the weakest eagles pairing on the nite. a wasted opportunity?

Ht13. Billy on a tactical - and pretty much from the gate. Floppy was in 3rd for 2 laps but had engine failure. No maximum - im gutted - arf arf.

Ht14. another win for the flying aussie - magnus at the back .

ht15. OH DEAR.
1st running - billy jumps at start and helmet touches the tape - hes back 15 metres.
2nd running - a clear flyer from billy so hes excluded and as hes been excluded twice we cant put a reserve replacement in (anyone know the rules??).
3rd running - shields leads with freddie chasing. Pedersen comes into contention (lap2 or 3 - cant remember!) and run freddie wide and freddie falls - freddie excluded!!!
the race is awarded!!
