Tuesday’ s match on the Isle of Wight saw the Islanders race Scunthorpe in a Premier League match.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 60, Scunthorpe 32.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 60, Scunthorpe 32.
The Isle of Wight were at full strength but Scunthorpe were without Magnus Karlsson and used Rider Replacement at number 3 to cover his rides.
The Isle of Wight lost Cory Gathercole in the opening heat. He shed a chain and was thrown over the handlebars damaging his wrist and withdrawing from any further part in the meeting. Jason Bunyan made sure the home side shared the points by winning the rerun. Heat 2 was also shared when James Holder got out of shape and slipped to the back leaving Andrew Bargh to score the three points but the home side took a 5-1 in heat 3 when Glen Phillips and Krzysztof Stojanowski both passed early race leader, Carl Wilkinson. They added another in heat 4 when Paul Fry and James Holder gated to leave Emiliano Sanchez to follow them round for the odd point. This took the score to 16-8.
Richard Hall gave the home side something to think about by railing past both Stojanowski and Phillips for a heat 5 race win and 3-3 but Sanchez was 5-1-ed again in heat 6 this time by Holder and Bunyan to leave the Scorpions struggling badly twelve points in arrears. Immediately Richard Hall took a Tactical Ride in heat 7 hoping to repeat his heat 5 win. However Paul Fry outgated him and he had to settle for second. With Viktor Bergstrom third, the visitors at least took a two point advantage from the race with the 3-5 to pull back to ten down. The difference between the teams stretched to twelve again in heat 8 with a 4-2 from the home reserves, Bargh and Holder, separated by Carl Wilkinson taking the score to 31-19.
Emiliano Sanchez had a third 5-1 scored against him in heat 9 as Stojanowski and Phillips comfortably won the race. Sanchez turned out to be a model of consistency by taking a R/R ride in heat 10 and again finishing third behind the home pair of Bunyan and Bargh for yet another 5-1 to the Islanders which increased the lead to twenty points. The Scorpions’ resistance seemed to have crumbled as they conceded another maximum in heat 11, the third on the trot for the home side as Holder and Fry had an easy victory against Wilkinson and Hall. However the haemorrhaging was stopped in heat 12. Glen Phillips won for the Islanders but Bergstrom and Powell shared the heat behind him for a 3-3 which took the score to 49-25.
Paul Fry led heat 13 for a couple of laps but Richard Hall passed him to win the race for a 3-3 then heat 14 was shared too. Stojanowski won the race easily enough but Bergstrom and Powell finished behind him as Bargh ran another last. The final heat resulted in a home 5-1 when Bunyan and Fry held off Hall and Wilkinson.
