Harris gates with Sedgy 2nd and Nagel 3rd, Victor cuts under Nagel bend 2 lap 2, the Dane then tries to round Victor next lap but comes down, re-run to come with the Tiger disqualified Confusion before the re-run as the red lights go on while the riders are under starting orders, this maybe dies Edinburgh a favour though as Victor’s bike packs up but he has time to get a second machine out. Re-run - from the gate

Race stopped - Kye gates well and gets under Nagel off the 2nd bend to hit the front, riding the dirt like Kye is comfortable in front albeit with Harris chasing when inexplicably there is a flash of the red lights There is an age of a gap before we are told the referee made a mistake and hit the lights Absolute farce! Re-run Kye again hits the front and is faultless in the only line in the dirt! This time though Jonatan gets into 3rd also
