The meeting was run on a wet track after a storm in the morning but luckly the weather changed: in the afternoon it was sun and cloudy and the heats were interesting and without crashes. Among the 18 riders plus 2 reserves, the first three riders were Andrew Appleton, who won, and Edward Kennet and Paul Hurry, all of them from Great Britain.Andrew Appleton was impressive, since he won the meeting with the maximum score (20+5).
Fourth position for the expert French rider Mathieu Tresarrieu, who was protagonist of some spectacular overtakings. The next round will be the final, on 12th August at Hertigen, in Germany.
