Pedersen jumpy at the start there.

And that looked a very nasty crash for Nicki P. Let's hope he's okay.

[schumi]

Oh no. Nasty, nasty crash - hope he's okay.

Schumi, this really isn't looking good

[schumi]

Looks like he could be off to hospital. Who was the rider in red?

[Deleted]

Really good to see Nicki get up and walk away from that crash.

[schumi]

Well he's up, so that's a good sign, but looks very dazed.

Grzegorz Walasek was in red, Zengota in blue.

[schumi]

Crikey, and straight back out again - he's one tough cookie.

He sure is Schumi and love him or hate him you can't fail to respect him.

I was just about to say Bridger is looking way out of his depth and then he pops out and wins Heat 8. Me and my big mouth

[schumi]

Tonight's full of surprises. Lewis Bridger beats Walasek and Zengota with Hancock at the back.

[admin]

Ulamek absolutely pathetic for Czestochowa.
