The Stars No.1 Tobiasz Musielak was withholding his services and could only be replaced by someone on 3/4 his average.
Rider replacement for the injured Nikolai Klindt was further complicated when Ben Basso landed very heavily in the fence
at the start of heat 3 and withdrew from the meeting resulting in double rider replacement!
Guest Tom Brennan trapped from gate 1 with Niels-Kristian Iversen hot on his heels. Jack back after injury in the Polish Grand Prix
was close behind. Jason was the early leader in heat 2 but Anders Rowe flew past him into turn 3 and pulled well clear. Dan in third
was untroubled by Patryk Wojdylo. Heat 3 saw Jan Kvech off (gate 2), Josh (3) and Ben Basso (4) three abreast into turn 1. Both Josh and
Ben ended in the fence, Josh running back to check on Ben who unhappily had to take an ambulance ride. Niels was back out for the rerun
as IRR but Josh was a clear winner. Kyle couldn't find a way past Jan. Chris led the way in heat 4 with Dan holding second despite
pressure from Anders for a big 5-1. Niels was back on track for the third time and took the lead from Kyle exiting turn 2. Josh never
troubled Niels and Justin passed Kyle on the pits turn. Tigers lead by 4 points.
Jack and Tom were untroubled racing to another 5-1 in heat 6. Chris Holder trapped in heat 7 with Patryk's bike expiring on the second lap.
Dan was gifted another 5-1 when Jan also ground to a halt on the third lap. Tom sped from gate 4 in heat 8 and his outside swoop took
him past both Niels and Anders. Jan trapped ahead in heat 9 with Kyle getting on the score chart at last. Jack swooped high and wide
to lead heat 10. Tom closed in on Jan and made an inside pass on the pits turn which peeved Jan who spat his dummy and retired.
Tigers now lead by 17 points.
Chris tapped to win heat 11 with Niels rounding Jason onto the back straight. Jason came under pressure from Justin but rode well to
hold onto third place. Heat 12 found three riders abreast down the back straight and it was Josh who was bravest into turn three.
Heat 13 matched the Holder brothers against Justin and Niels. The Stars led the way for the first lap until Chris took
the wide line at the start of lap 2 and passed both Justin and Jack down the back straight. Another wide swoop took him around Niels
exiting the pits bend and showed his kid brother what was required. Jack passed Justin and then set his sights on Niels who
he passed at the end of the third lap turning a 1-5 into a tremendous 5-1. Kyle led heat 14 all the way until hard chasing Jan
was given the verdict as they crossed the finish line. Jack and Josh got the nod for heat 15 (Chris was on a maximum) and Jack
led the way from Niels. Josh passed Jan on the second lap and then gave chase and somehow pulled off an inside pass on the
last turn to another great roar from the crowd!
