Nico Covatti  David Bellego is the pick of the visitors with a last to first win in heat 8 and then breezing past both Wilson and Covatti in the first two laps of heat 11. Ben Wilson mounted on an engine loaned from Steady had a great meeting and all of the Sheffield heat wins came from Steady's engines! Nico on the other hand has aggression and unquestionable skill but his equipment just isn't up to Owlerton spec.

Thankfully Claus wasn't at the races for the Bandits otherwise it could easily have been an away win. The Bandits heat leaders provided the majority of heat winners but lacked support from the rest of the side.
