10 points to make up from the away leg.
Hopefully the weather will stay fine and Monmore produces top class racing for the viewers.
Back around 7.30.

Looks a little drizzly but track looks fine. Weather doesn't seem to be threatening anything worse. heat 1 in five minutes or so.

Insightful observation from Tatum that the Wolves riders need to do well. Doesn't everyone?

Evening all. Seems like the usual Sky pre-meeting delay, so Tatum can spout some sh**e.

Korneliussen in as R/R then out as he hits the tapes. Gafurov in as reserve. Adams from the gate, although PK is on his back wheel for four laps.
Magnus wins 2 by a quarter lap! Suchanek and Gafurov have a 'who can ride the turns worse' competition.

Millard just described the Wolves fans as "hardy souls". At least I think that's what he said.

Still raining. Heat 3 from the gate.
Heat 4 and Gafurov hits the deck whilst trying hard to avoid doing so. BILLY out in front but Ulamek gates in the rerun and its another 3-3.

Track being regraded for five minutes. Rain is steady and although we should carry on shortly it could deteriorate further and cause an abandonment.
Reading 24 Eagles 6!

Heat 5 from the gate. Adams did not look all that interested.
Heat 6: Ulamek gates but PK rides a great second turn and leaves him behind.
Heat 8 and CHRISTIAN has a spectacular fall on turn two. Seems to be OK. Excluded from rerun.

Christian just straightened up for a fraction of a second entering the first corner. This sent him much wider than normal and although he seemed to recover it, the back wheel lost grip, then caught it, highsiding Christian onto the track on bend two. The bike flew up and into the air fence. Looks like it winded Christian, who got up after a few moments and walked back to the pits.
