Belle Vue v Eastbourne (EL) - 07.05.08

[schumi]

Belle Vue are without the injured Billy Forsberg and will track Ty Proctor at number 8, who can take R/R. Jankowski has declared himself fit, as has Cameron Woodward for the Eagles.

Belle Vue:

1..J Crump
2..B Forsberg..R/R
3..C Gjedde
4..L Jankowski
5..J Screen
6..R Ksiezak
7..M Rajkowski
8..T Proctor

Eastbourne:

1..S Nicholls
2..L Bridger
3..L Richardson
4..C Woodward
5..E Kennett
6..S Gustafsson
7..

As you can see, I have no idea who the Eastbourne reserves will be. Simmons and Werner?

Great to see Ty getting more EL rides......he will entertain the fans.

Why will we be without Simon

Rumour has it that it may not be Werner in for Brundle.

EDIT: Reserves according the Argus are Gustafsson and Werner, but nothing official from the promotion.

Well, they made heavy weather of it, seemed to try desperately to throw it away, but the Eagles did manage the win (42:48).
For the Aces it was a two man show, with both Crump (13 from 5 rides) and Gjedde (12+1 from 5 rides) in inspired form. Both Crump's defeats came at the hands of the former British champion, while one of Gjedde's came from the same source, while the other, improbably, came at the hands of Simon Gustafsson. Screen was again anonymous (6 from 4 rides), while Lukasz Jankowski was withdrawn after a single ride after having trouble with his shoulder.
For the Eagles, the former British champion was solid, scoring 13 from 5, which anchored Eastbourne's score, while everyone else chipped in with the odd race win here and there.
