Looks like there was a bit of trouble in the pits after the third heat when, reportedly, Ryan Sullivan elbowed Lee Richardson in the face after a close move on track. It is said there has been an atmosphere between the two of them since an incident in Sweden, presumably back in July, which is when their teams last met. The latest on this is Lee says he doesn't know which incident is being referred to when Sweden is mentioned, but he can't recall anything happening between the two of them.
And Ryan Sullivan has commented on his website:
"It seems the incident has grown way beyond the reality of what it was. The Czêstochowa club is trying make this into something it's not. I rode into the pits and was rammed from behind from Lee on his bike. So hard that we both nearly crashed. We both pushed each other and yelled and i went back to my parking place and it all ended within a few seconds. So quickly infact most people missed it. But it seems some people are making alot of noise about nothing when they have only heard one side of the incident. Or they are just trying to cause trouble for me? You don't see me crying about Lee riding his bike into me and starting the incident? I spent 6 years of my racing career giving alot to the Czêstochowa club and i have many good memories from there. I always get a good reception from the Czêstochowa fans and it's sad for me that some people are trying to ruin that. Anyway this very small incident is finished as far as im concerned. Czêstochowa attempt at mind games and to have me banned has made me more determined and i'm looking forward to the return leg on Sunday."
