 Unfortunately for Kim Nielsen, I think he's got a little bit of a problem straight away before he's actually gone anywhere. Can you believe that? Yeah, it's unfortunate. And his very first Grand Prix race, he's got a problem, he's got a wet track, he's got to come off the outside gate. Welcome to the Grand Prix series, Kim. Yeah, he's thrown into the deep end here, but that's for sure. One or two guys actually changing equipment here. Martin Vashlik has, quite clearly, trying desperately to pick the right bike, the right setup for this opening race. Everything they learned earlier has just gone completely out of the window. That's for nothing now, that's for sure. And Kim Nielsen, obviously, he had a problem there and he's changed his bike, he's on the spare one. Unfortunately, it was all ready to go. They do have their spare bikes ready to go right by the pick gate. And for the first time this season, we see riders up at TAPES and won't be too much longer now before we get underway. Matze Janowski, of course, was second here last year. On screen there now for you. Just coming up to the start line for the first time here this evening after a approximately about a half an hour delay. So here we go then. Opening race of the campaign on the inside in red is Martin Vashlik. Alongside him and gate number two in blue is Matze Janowski. Gate number three, Leo Matzen in white and off the outside in red. Unfortunately for Kim Nielsen, I think he's got a little bit of a problem straight away before he's actually gone anywhere. Can you believe that? Yeah, it's unfortunate. And his very first Grand Prix race has got a problem. He's got a wet track, he's got to come off the outside gate. Welcome to the Grand Prix series, Kim.

Matze Janowski, of course, was second here last year. On screen there now for you, just coming up to the start line for the first time. Here this evening after approximately about a half an hour delay. So, here we go then. Opening race of the campaign. On the inside in red is Martin Vashlik. Alongside him in gate number two in blue is Matze Janowski. Gate number three, Leon Matzen in white and off the outside in yellow is Kim Nielsen. I do hope Kim either makes a great start or he gets a little bit of good fortune in the first corner. He'll be hoping that Vashlik can run everybody wide for him so he can make the cutback. But Martin Vashlik, known as a fast starter, he's on the inside. He's got to take full advantage of that in this opening race. Indeed he has. And we'll be interested to see exactly how it rides. Ten times, here we go then. Opening race of the World Championship. Away we go. Vashlik's made a smashing start. He hits the first turn. Leon Matzen there in the middle of track. Absolutely blasted there with Matze Janowski coming through in the second place. And Kim Nielsen did take advantage of Leon Matzen getting filled in. But Martin Vashlik, fast away from the tapes, used that inside gate. The spray absolutely pouring off the back tires. But he's a way out in front. Leon Matzen just put about three stone on in one corner. Completely filled in and goes to the back. Kim Nielsen took full advantage of that. But Martin Vashlik out front, a little bit quicker than everybody else. I feel sorry for Leon Matzen because he made too good a start from gate three to actually back out of it and went to the back. Martin Vashlik out in front, looking good. Set for three points there. Terrific start from him. Janowski into second place. Good work from him. Kim Nielsen will be chuffed to bits to get on a score chart in the opening race from gate four. But Martin Vashlik wins the opening race of the campaign. Back in second place is Matze Janowski. Kim Nielsen in third place. And a touch disappointed was Leon Matzen back in fourth place there. But for Martin Vashlik, the ideal start. You said it, Chris, that inside gate was important. So the result of the heat number one. Then Vashlik out in front, three points for him. Janowski in second place, two points. Kim Nielsen in third one and Leon Matzen, the world number two, misses out in the opening race of this Grand Prix. And we'll be cracking on, that's for sure, after the delay. Trackudge sense will be tricky, but it's going to get a lot better. Tough track conditions right now, but it will improve and I think it'll improve quite quickly. But you can see there, Leon Matzen gets across Janowski and he isn't able to get across Martin Vashlik. Now he's filled in. He's had two bikes spraying all over him. And Kim Nielsen reads that one just right, hanging around on the outside, just cuts back. And at this point, he knows that Leon Matzen cannot commit himself to turn three. He can't see a thing. And so yeah, Kim Nielsen taking full advantage of that first turn. But Leon Matzen, to me, watching all four laps, he's the one that maybe hasn't made the right changes for the track conditions because he looked like turning up for the entire four laps. Unfortunately for Kim Nielsen, I think he's got a little bit of a problem straight away before he's actually gone anywhere. Can you believe that? Yeah, it's unfortunate.

Just coming up to the start line for the first time here this evening after a approximately about a half an hour delay. So, here we go then. Opening race of the campaign. On the inside in red is Martin Vashlik. Alongside him in gate number two in blue is Matse Jenovski. Gate number three, Leon Mattson in white. And off the outside in yellow is Kim Nielsen. I do hope Kim either makes a great starter or he gets a little bit of good fortune in the first corner. He'll be hoping that Vashlik can run everybody wide for him so he can make the cut back.

Track-hudge sense will be tricky but it's going to get a lot better. Tough track conditions right now but it will improve and I think it'll improve quite quickly. But you can see there, Leon Mattson gets across Jenovski but isn't able to get across Martin Vashlik. He can't cover him and Kim Nielsen reads that one just right hanging around on the outside just cuts back and at this point he knows that Leon Mattson cannot commit himself to turn three. He can't see a thing. So yeah, Kim Nielsen taking full advantage of that first turn but Leon Mattson to me watching all four laps he's the one that maybe hasn't made the right changes for the track conditions because he looked like he was spinning up for the entire four laps.
