Edinburgh only got their noses ahead once and that was when it mattered - 
at the end of heat 15.

Led by Robert Eriksson, Peter Carr and Kevin Little, they clawed their 
way back from eight points down after 8 heats to snatch the points from 
the Hammers.

The Edinburgh trio were quite superb with Little a revelation dropping 
his only point to Troy Pratt in his second ride

A fine meeting really....the Hammers will be kicking themselves for not 
ramming home their advantage from 8 points up but Edinburgh's top three 
were quite superb and it was they who turned the tables in the last three 
races.

For Arena Pedersen battled hard, Read made a useful return after injury, 
Pratt opened in brilliant fashion with three wins but dipped out in heats 
13 & 15.  Chalky White a bit subdued by his high standards.

Sorry it's a bit short...need sleep B4 setting off for Newport

> 5. (4) Nicki Pedersen 23212=10+2
> 6. (7) Ronni Pedersen 30322=10+E

Why was there a run-off? Doesn't seem to affect rostrum or
qualification.

Thanks, Gary

Hi Gary!

Nobody knows the decision for the run-off Place 4-6, neither the 3 rider.
I`ve asked the Danish Teammanager Erik Gundersen just after the meeting, he
also doesn`t know why there was a run-off.
I`ll check it up tomorrow and ask someone at the DMU.
Regards Jacqueline

In reply to Gaz B:

>Why was there a run-off? Doesn't seem to affect rostrum or
>qualification.

I think only the top 5 automatically qualify for the Scandinavian Final. 
The 6th placed rider goes into a pre-meeting runoff (along with one rider 
each from Sweden, Norway and Finland) for the final place in the meeting 
proper.
