Jacques couldn't make it , and missed a thriller . This was PL speedway at it's brilliant best . Oh if only we could watch this every week . Wato was sublime , just missing out on his maximum in Ht15 when he made a mistake and chose the outside gate - a point i informed him of in the bar afterwards . Still he's only new and just learning . The messiah wasn't disappointing Sub - it was just a slowing bike that interfered with his messiahsness in the final heat . Solid back-up from Trent , wee Davie and Robert . But the dynamic duo at reserve - oh dear oh dear oh dear . But a wonderful entertaining meeting and not a hint of trouble ;D In fact talking to Ian Thomas in the bar afterwards - that was the first thing he asked me about and i was pleased to tell him all was fine .
