Unless it has been stated otherwise both teams will be at full strength tomorrow.

If it's as good as the A fixture it'll be contender for match of the season.

Aces should line up as follows:

1. Stead
2. Wright
3. Screen
4. Skornicki
5. Doolan
6. Lindback
7. Forsberg

Belle Vue 54 -39 Ipswich. Ipswich were without Jesper B Jensen. Whilst not as close as the A meeting between the sides there was still some good racing and the Witches score doesn't reflect the effort that was put in.

Belle Vue

Stead - Awful first ride but was solid after that.

Wright - Great ride first time out. Missed the gate completely in his second ride and was solid after that. Almost got past Kroner in heat 10 but refused to move off the inside. If he had have done he would have passed him.

Screen - Poor tonight IMHO. Looked slow, didn't gate once and almost went cascading through the fence in heat 9 when trying to go round Miskowiak

Skornicki - Great first ride, poor second ride. Easy point in heat 9 with only Suchecki behind him. Was team riding well with Lindback in heat 14 until his bike went on the last bend of the lap.

Doolan - Wasn't gating but was always battling and never far off making a pass. Was all over Jansson in heat 13 but the track was so slick by then it was impossible to overtake.

Lindback - Man of the Match. Won every race from the gate apart from heat 15 though he did gate alongside Steady who was very hard on him going down the back straight.

Forsberg - Great first couple of rides and battled well in his final two. Almost wiped Rempala out in heat 8 when he picked up grip coming off the fourth bend.

Ipswich

Jansson - Battled hard for his points and was never far off the pace except in heat 8 when he was a long way off at the back.

Louis - Good performance from Chris. Battled really hard and made the Aces boys work for their wins. Deserved his win when on a tactical ride.

Kroner - Was gating well but losing speed going into the bends. Was always on the pace but could never find a way past.

Miskowiak - Not bad from Robert. Battled hard in all his rides and deserved his paid 11.

Rempala - Solid night from Marcin

Suchecki - Awful, sorry Ippo fans but he was. Was out of contention in every race before hitting the first bend.

One thing that baffled me was why Mike Smillie didn't use Louis as r/r in heat 13. He and Robert were Ippo's best riders on the night.....very strange decision. Score from the first leg was 55-35 so the aggregate was Belle Vue 89 - 94 Ipswich.

All in all a good meeting.
