Remember to tune in to Sky Sports 1 (HD if you've got it!) at 7:30 for tomorrow night's Premier League match between the Somerset Rebels and the Scotwaste Monarchs.

Apart from the absence of Mitchell Davey (with Josh Bates of Mildenhall guesting) Monarchs will be at full strength. Claus Vissing had a successful outing with his Polish club Krosno yesterday and amazingly, found himself in the same position as he was on Friday – a last heat decider, one point down.

This time Claus won the race and his partner came from the back to clinch a 5-1.

Theo Pijper who of course was forced to miss Friday, had a bad night in his first World Longtrack GP of the season.

He told us "It didn't start well for me when I was leading my first race but threw a chain for no obvious reason. Then I won my second race, but in my third I had a big crash.

"I probably should have pulled out then but I took my last two rides.

"I took a bit out of my thigh and had to go to Hospital in Finland on Sunday to have some of the nylon removed from the cut.

"I'm patched up now and there's a bit of bruising but I'll be OK for Tuesday at Somerset."
