Around the Premier League Tracks 2007

Wednesday, 29 August
Just the one Premier League match was raced tonight and that was at Birmingham where Mildenhall were the visitors.
Premier League: Birmingham 58, Mildenhall 34 Birmingham won the aggregate bonus point by 106-76.
Birmingham without Emiliano Sanchez operated Rider Replacement at number 2. Mildenhall were without Kyle Legault and Mark Baseby but had Stoke’s Lee Complin as a guest for Legault at number 3 and Karl Mason as a reserve guest for Mark Baseby at number 6.
Already tracking a patched up side due to injuries to Kyle Legault and Mark Baseby, Mildenhall were hit further by the injury bug when Shaun Tacey’s primary chain broke causing him to collide with his team mate, Tom P Madsen in heat 5. Madsen withdrew from the meeting and was taken to hospital then, after attempting to ride in heat 8, Shaun Tacey had to withdraw too suffering from concussion.
Having already won by 6 points at West Row, Birmingham were expected to run out comfortable winners and that’s the way it worked out especially following Madsen and Tacey’s withdrawal.
Henning Bager made a fast start to win the opening heat while Manuel Hauzinger had to battle his way past Tom P Madsen for third place to give the home side a winning start with a 4-2. Tomas Suchanek won the reserves race which was shared after Lee Smart had passed Karl Mason then the Brummies doubled their lead to four points with another 4-2 in heat 3. Lee Complin led Jason Lyons for a couple of laps until a Lyons cut back on the fourth bend took him past the Fen Tigers’ guest. The lead was doubled again in heat 4 with a home 5-1 from Hauzinger and Powell taking the score to 16-8.
Heat 5 had to be rerun following the Tacey/Madsen collision with Tacey excluded and, in the rerun, Jason Lyons won the race followed by Madsen’s replacement, Tomas Suchanek, with Henrik Moller third for a home 4-2. Heat 6 was also a 4-2 to the Brummies. Jason King after making a good start was passed by both Bager and Powell but fought back to repass Powell in the run in to the flag. In heat 7, Lee Complin was given a Tactical Ride but it was Manuel Hauzinger who roared off to win the race. Complin had to settle for second place but was followed home by Paul Fry which resulted in a 3-5 heat advantage to the Fen Tigers. Shaun Tacey started heat 8 but had to withdraw from the meeting due to the concussion he had sustained in heat 5 leaving the visitors with five riders. Henning Bager won the race but the overworked Suchanek finished second from Ben Powell for another 4-2 taking the score to 31-19.
Jason Lyons and Henrik Moller gated in heat 9 and that’s the way it finished as Moller held off the strong challenge of Jason King. This stretched the lead to 16 points. Henrik Moller was out again in heat 10 taking the R/R ride and he won it too beating Lee Complin with a fast start. Bager finished third so the Brummies added another two points to their lead with the 4-2. Hauzinger gated to win heat 11 but Karl Mason and Tomas Suchanek followed him home for a shared race then Jason Lyons continued his unbeaten run by winning heat 12 from Lee Complin. Suchanek again finished third so again this heat was shared and the score stood at 46-28.
Henning Bager was back to winning ways in heat 13 while Jason King had his hands full keeping Lee Smart at bay for a 4-2. Henrik Moller won heat 14 from Suchanek and Fry for another shared race then, in the last race, Jason Lyons completed his full maximum by winning from Henning Bager to give the home side a final 5-1 and 24 point win.
Scorers: For Birmingham – Henning Bager 15+1 (6), Jason Lyons 15 (5)(full maximum), Henrik Moller 10+1 (5), Manuel Hauzinger 10 (4), Ben Powell 6+1 (5), Lee Smart 2+1 (5).
