Eastbourne Eagles vs. Lakeside Hammers

Now for the second meeting of the day, down in Eastbourne at Arlington Stadium.

The track at Arlington, there were a few more falls as well as one crashes from Ben Morley straight into the air fence on the 2nd corner but was disqualified due to being the stoppage cause.

In heat 13, both Peter KARLSSON and Cameron WOODWARD are both disqualified due to a false start from both rides going through the tapes. So both riders started from 10m back from the start line.

Speedway Grand Prix - AUCKLAND

Well, this morning it was time to say 'Goodbye' to a Saturday morning lay-in because today was the first Speedway Grand Prix of the 2014 season!

The Grand Prix in Auckland was full of action this morning, Darcy Ward being pushed into the air-fence by Martin Smolinski in heat 14 - Darcy left in an ambulance; which was later revealed that Darcy was unconscious when the heat was stopped, as well as suffering a broken thumb and has been advised by New Zealand's hospital staff, he will need an operation, however he will seek a specialist opinion from his specialist in Poland.

Although, Tai didn't fall in the Grand Prix, he wasn't always on the 'pace' due to his severe crashes in Leicester, last Saturday, leaving most fanning suggesting he was in more pain than he said, but Tai just missed out on a semi-final place on count back.

Chris Harris also came back to the GP's this year, however, throughout the entire meeting, he failed to score any points for the leaderboard.
