The sole match today was at Reading where the Racers raced against Berwick in a Premier League match.
Premier League: Reading 47, Berwick 46.
Reading were without Ulrich Ostergaard so had Jason Doyle (Somerset) as a guest at number 3. Berwick were without Tony Atkin so used Rider Replacement at number 2.
Berwick staged a tremendous fightback after trailing by 12 points after heat 10. A big 1-8 in heat 11 followed by a 1-5 in heat 14 pulled 11 of their 12 point deficit back but it fell just a point short to gain any reward for the Bandits for whom Adrian Rymel and Paul Clews scored nearly two thirds of their points.
The opening three heats won by Adrian Rymel, Paul Clews and Jason Doyle were all shared but it was the Racers who drew first blood in heat 4 when Chris Mills and Nicky Glanz took a 5-1 from Scott Smith after Norbert Magosi had fallen and earned an exclusion to take the score to 14-10.
Rymel won again in heat 5 beating Jason Doyle in the process but this time Clews got stuck at the back so the race was shared but Reading doubled their lead in heat 6 when Mark Lemon and Tom P Madsen scored an easy 5-1 from Paul Clews and Norbert Magosi with the Berwick third pairing looking like their Achilles Heel. Chris Mills passed Michal Makovsky to win heat 7 for a shared race then the racers extended their lead to ten points with a 4-2 in heat 8 won by Tom P Madsen from Tero Aarnio who fought an exciting tussle with Nicki Glanz for second place. The score now stood at 29-19.
Jason Doyle won heat 9 from Clews and Suchanek for another 4-2 stretching the home side’s lead to 12 points but Adrian Rymel the took a Tactical Ride in heat 11 for the Bandits. He won it too and was followed home by Paul Clews after the race was rerun after Jaimie Smith had fallen and been excluded. This gave the visitors a 1-8 cutting their arrears to five points. Jason Doyle won again in heat 12 but Clews and Makovsky followed him home for a shared race which took the score to 40-35.
Chris Mills collided with Norbert Magosi in heat 13, as the Bandits sat on a 1-5, and was excluded from the rerun in which Mark Lemon took full advantage of the second chance to win the race for a 3-3. However the Racers lead was whittled down to one point when Clews and Aarnio comfortably headed Jaimie Smith home for a 1-5 with just one race to go. Adrian Rymel raised Berwick’s hopes by taking the lead on the opening bends but Makovsky got stuck at the back as Doyle and Lemon took the three points needed to see Reading home to victory.
Scorers: For Reading – Jason Doyle 13 (5), Mark Lemon 9+3 (5), Tom P Madsen 9+1 (4), Chris Mills 7 (4), Nicki Glanz 4+2 (4), Jaimie Smith 3 (4), Tomas Suchanek 2+1 (4).
