I've amended a couple of the late changes, not sure if there are any others....

So Ole's camp have arrived in Coventry. The sky cameras are there and it's a lovely dry, sunny day...and they're packing down the track as we speak( thats a joke by the way)...

I'm really looking forward to this one, the Russians being a bit of an unknown entity... Being a newbie, I only know two of the USA team. I'm also sorry to see that AJ won't be riding for Sweden...You've got to, however, expect the GB team to go straight through to the final tonight...

Lets hope it's a good track, cos at £33.00 a ticket, I won't be happy with a similar night to Saturday..

33 QUID FOR A TICKET !!!!!!!!!!!!! are they having a laugh .

Thats for the grandstand, they want £22.00 to stand aswell!. We bought ours the day they went on release...Obviously we didn't know the line up then. But to be fair, we'd still have paid it anyway ,as it's Coventry and just up the road for us ;D

To keep it in the family, Sweden's reserve is Magnus Karlsson.

Edit: Russian reserve is Danil Ivanov and Darkin replaces Povazhny.

[stuartroad]

i assume with nicholls lining up at 5,middlo still considers him britains number 1,as i believe team gb like australia like to keep their best rider for heat 25 and second best for heat 24

[jimblanchard]

Come on you Brit lads.. ;D

But whoever wins lets see some frigging dirt on the outside and see some passing and speedway racing.... by anyone...please? ;D

Well, first five heats down and so far, so dreary.

[schumi]

Chris Harris is the only shining light so far. It's the same as Vojens for entertainment values. Though I think I spotted Jacques' flag.

[admin]

Well, another five heats down and apart from a splendid overtake by Davidsson, it's still dreary.

[stuartroad]

i'm loving it.

three of the russians look fast,and surprisingly its not gafurov and darkin.

saifutdinov looks a class act,i was looking forward to watching him,and he looks better than i thought.

and harris is always worth watching

[admin]

Should Davidsson also have been excluded in Ht 12? It looked to me like he went down totally independent of Kerr. I think the Swedes have got lucky there.

just about to post the same thing.
similar thing happened at reading eastbourne this season,and when i questioned the double exclusion,i was firmly put in my place

[schumi]

Looked like he clipped Kerr's bike. Lucky it wasn't the rider he hit - that could have been nasty.

Totally splendid, highlight of the evening for me so far along with Richardson's awesome last place in Heat one. ;D
