 So, heat number three, we see Poland up against their hosts, Latvia this evening with Francis Goost and Richard Ambersulis, Mathiasz Sieniak and Bartek Kowalski. Now, that is quite some pairing. They have massive experience. They're by far the more experienced of all the teams, those two riders. So, red hot favourites coming into the evening. Poland will have gates one and three, red and blue for them, and white and yellow for the hosts. Looks like Sieniak will go from the inside, gate in red, with Bartek Kowalski coming out of gate number three in blue. Gate number two will be Francis Goost, who was outstanding in last year's Speedway of Nations 2, 22 points. Yeah, sub-scorer. Yeah, terrific performance from him. Been injured subsequently, so it's been tough for him. And Richard Ambersulis will go from the outside gate in heat number three. This is a bit of a crunch match-up early in the evening, actually, with... There's no doubt that the home's host team will be very keen to get a medal here. Yeah, absolutely. And they only just lost out on making the qualifying heat at the end of the night, just outscored by Britain, actually, on count back. So, they were very close. Tapes up, heat number three, Shear Down makes a start on the inside. Goost is there right alongside him. In truth, it's not. It's Ambersulis in the yellow helmet colour that actually comes through. Goost is at the back here with Kowalski back in third place. They switched their riders around there on the start line. Oh, Kowalski lifting violently, coming out of turn four in the opening lap. Sieniak away. Heat advantage for the Polish team here, with Ambersulis hanging on to second place. But no surprise to see Sieniak out in front, looking great. But a solid ride here from Ambersulis for Latvia. Yes, Ambersulis doing a good job. Scored six points in voyages last year. Just not quite enough to go with Francis Gusz, 22 points. He's at the back, which is a bit of a shock for me in this opening ride for Latvia. They've got to be one of the favourites on home soil. But Sieniak out front, and now Kowalski trying to put pressure there on Ambersulis. Coming round the outside, Kowalski's worked it beautifully. Fars himself into second place. Maximum score on the cards now for Poland. And the champion is starting style. Best race of the evening. No question about it. Out of the first three races, the first overtake we've seen, Sieniak out in front, comfortable. Ambersulis riding strongly in second place, where Kowalski had the answers. Poland start with seven points. Yeah, the Poles will be happy with that. It was a tough opening heat to come up against the home nation. Indeed. So seven points for Poland, where Mattias Sieniak and Kowalski, two points for Latvia, with Riccardo Ambersulis picking up the points there. Fars is surprisingly failing to score in the opening race for Latvia. But Poland up and running. No real surprise to see them getting a maximum score. But Kowalski had to work hard here for it. He did, yeah. And once again, the inside gate working well. We actually saw Sieniak there just looking over his right shoulder, doing what he's got to do, looking for his teammate. Realises immediately he hasn't actually made the start and says, OK, he's going to have to do his own thing here. So he pretty much clears off. But I've got to say, Ambersulis actually done a good job of hanging on to him for the first couple of laps. Second time tonight, we've seen someone lift quite violently coming out of turn four there. So there's obviously something developing there, but a great move around the outside. Smooth as you like, just generating the speed in the dirt. And you can see Ambersulis knows his coming, looks across. It's too late to do anything about it. Nice ride, Kowalski there, to join his teammate up front.
