 So the line up here number nine then on the inside for France is Dimitri Bershaw. Gate number two for Finland it's Timo Larty. Rasmus Jensen coming out for his first ride. For Denmark out of gate number three and gate number four for Australia is Max Frick. Certainly Rasmus Jensen will not be scared to put himself about. He is a hard charger and there's no doubt he's an entertaining rider to watch and he's an entertaining rider to have a chat with. He's got a lively cat. He is a lively chap. The word with him on the way to when they were doing the track walk and he's full of life as always. The manager of France is keenly looking on pressure on France now. They've brought in one of the big guns here and Dimitri Bershaw. Bershaw has had a cup of the strong rides tonight so far with two second places. So going quite nicely. If Bershaw gets in the mood it can be quite a spoiler. He's got that inside gate so that could be quite useful. Gate number nine, third block of races. A bit of movement from Larty, Larty absolutely flew out of gate number two. He steps, he's authority on the third gate. No real surprise that the red lights are flashing on him. Bit of movement on the start line and Timo Larty possibly the one that's going to be penalised here. I'm sure I'll get a warning for that. I don't think he was actually moving when the tapes went up but he certainly could have unsettled the opposition then. Referee Alexander Lyosensky from the Ukraine here. You will see rider in the second gate number two just a little bit of movement. Yeah he was still when the tapes went up but of course you know you can't be moving on the start and I think the referee will have deemed that he may have unsettled some of the opposition and he certainly seemed to make a good start, may have gained an advantage there. Yeah I'm not sure that Berger would have been put off because he's looking the other way but we're hearing it confirmed now that Larty will now carry a warning throughout the rest of the evening. If he does something similar he will then be excluded so it's pretty draconian rules now for riders on the start line but I think probably it was pulled back as a consequence of him making the start Chris. Yeah I agree with you he wasn't actually rolling when the tapes went up but he made the start so that was probably the reason the red light came on. Only a minute now allowed for riders to get back to tapes at the restarting. Can we have a coat down please? Can we have a coat down please? Ten seconds! It's going to be very tight indeed, eight, seven proper countdown here. They're going to get there with two seconds left. Wow that was tight indeed for his first race for the ninth. Heat number nine, second time of asking. The Aussies still tapes up, first chase made a good start. It's untied again in the first corner that allows Larty on the inside. Oh Frick's gone down, driver out of the first corner there, Rasmus Jensen red lights on again, drama in heat number nine. See what Max Frick could be in danger of going out here. I'll have to see it again, didn't see if there was any contact. It was a contact but it would be hard on Bergeri I think but I'll have to see it again. But being the exit of the first corner, could well exclude Frick here. See it again Chris? Yeah Frick coming off the outside gate for that and the ride of that Bergeri, just gets a bit of grip, comes across the corner now Max Frick's going to run. He gets a bit of a nudge from Larty there but I'll tell you what, it would be very harsh there on Dimitri Bergeri because he did get a little bit of a nudge from the inside as Larty came through there. So yeah we're hearing it's all four riders, I think that's the right decision Kelvin. Just see there Bergeri just being eased out of the way by Larty and he had no choice. So the right decision made by the referee there, all four back. We want to see four riders in a race, tense times here in Speedway World Cup semi-final number two. Look at that punching up there. Bergeri a little bit all over the place initially. Yeah he dealt with it though and that obviously wasn't the problem. It's just here when Timo Larty comes through, just moves him over. At the same time Max Frick is looking to cover the inside and stop the run up the inside of Rasmus Jensen and come together. But it is the first time, I think it's the right call. So we'll see it again Dimitri Bergeri of course. A former World Cup champion has ridden very well for France in the past. He was terrific in Manchester a couple of years ago in the Speedway World Nations and he's got something about him. He can be a little bit up and down at times but when he's in the mood I can say that Bergeri is capable of winning races anywhere, anytime. So he's got a second opportunity. Max Frick just taking his time. There's the position we've got after eight races. Three points in front for Denmark who are really going along nicely tonight. Australia under pressure. They will not want to go to the race off Australia. It's going to be a tight tussle. I think that's going to go all the way. It's not over that tussle. No question that neither of these teams want to race on Friday night. That's going to be a very, very tight one. In the past some of the race-off meetings in the Speedway World Cup have been truly outstanding. Quite often times the best was three on the week. And Tino Sweden are there of course with the Czech Republic already. Max Frick just having his helmet checked as he had a bit of a thump on the track. First of course. It's okay. Max Frick who like a lot of riders in the Speedway World Prix this year. Just struggling with his own consistency. But rode well, very well with Jack Holder last year. When they came through with a terrific result in Denmark to win gold there in the Speedway World Nations. That was a very fine display from Australia last year in Denmark. Yeah, and I think Max will let this unsettle him too much. He's a pretty understated, fairly laid-back sort of character. He'll keep his calm. Team obviously working very hard to get things right with his bike. If you haven't got that ready, it's been like four minutes. If you haven't got the people to do it, you're going to have to go on that bike, sorry. Mechanics haven't got the other wheel ready yet. Sorry, Max. They haven't even changed your front wheel, mate. Based right to there, Bill Royce calling the shots. He'd be more proactive with it so much time. He can give the team there. Yeah, they're under pressure here, Australia. They're behind, three points behind Denmark. One of their big hitters here and certainly having to work furiously hard. They've changed bikes already. He didn't like the first one. So he will not be best pleased to have to go back out on that. They're working furiously hard to try and get that bike ready for the restagings of the race. No, we can't give them much more. He's like, what's happening now? What are they doing? Well, Phil Royce is trying to be as fair as he possibly can here. The other bike is ready, but they clearly want to get that bike that was chosen for the race originally. Ready for the rewind. I think they're going to just about do it. Two minutes ago, go on. Sorry, guys. Two minutes is on, please. We're going on two. Two minutes, guys! Two minutes is on. Yeah, Phil Royce tries to be as fair as possible. Obviously, he has an ex-rider himself. He realised that Max Frick was an innocent party there and he shouldn't be penalised. He should give him every opportunity to get his bike ready to go, but it seems like they've run out of time this time. So, Ryan is now reappearing. It's taking some time to get heat number nine underway here with Team Olati already on a warning, then the clash coming out of gate turn number two. Max Frick up at tapes. So, he's out there, ready to go. Under pressure off of gate number four. There's no doubt about that. Frick will be desperate to try and get his front himself in front here, or at least in front of Rasmus Jensen. They need to start stealing some points back off of Denmark, who are going along very nicely indeed. And Jensen certainly was well and truly amongst that. Berger was. It was all action as they came out of the first corner for the second staging of heat number nine. This is the third time of asking Demetri Berger over the inside for France. Gate number two for Benjamin to Team Olati. Gate number three for Denmark as Rasmus Jensen off the outside. Max Frick for Australia. Dusted himself down. Prepared to go again for the third time, which is a little untidy on the entrance to the corner the first time around. And Thornton went off the line charging on the inside. That's what opened the door for Team Olati to charge through. And that's exactly what started the whole sequence of events. So finally now, Ryder's coming forward. The third block of races to get underway. Here we go then. It's like the tape's up. Away we go. Certainly Lati's made another good start, but Berger forces his way through there. They're tight there. Rasmus Jensen Frick certainly coming through, but Jensen's very nearly running in the back of Berger. Here comes Lati on the inside. Oh my goodness, how another day aboard each other. That was a strong move there from Team Olati. But out in front, Berger who's had a couple of second places already tonight going great guns for France. She had dodges on the opening laps here at 8-9, but it's Berger. What a great first turn from him. He didn't actually make a clear start, but he just was determined to get to the corner. Almost ran his wheels over the wide line and got himself to the front. And he's not looking back, but it's a great race from the reserve there for Denmark. Rasmus Jensen really, really working hard to stay ahead of Lati. It's good news for France though, and looking good for a first victory of the night. And it's bad news for Australia with Jensen in second place and Max Frick out in the back. Suddenly Denmark are going to extend their lead. Look at Berger. He's in the mood tonight. No question about that. Fine rider. And this is a fine display form France. Brilliant way to come through there. Tight for third. Very tight between Frick and Lati on that charge to the checkered flag. But the Jensen in second place, certainly Denmark extending their lead. We'll wait for the confirmation of third place there because it got awfully close indeed. But what we do know, is France with desperate provides and they pick up a valuable win there in heat number nine. Smashing right for Berger there. So two second places in a win tonight. It's pretty impressive from him. Impressive. Yeah it is impressive. And this first term was impressive too because he doesn't actually make a clear start. Look how narrow he is. He's got the front wheel on the actual astro turf there and it gets awfully tight as they come down the back straight on the opening lap. And Rezmus Jensen there does well to avoid the back wheel of Berger as he turns in the corner. It gets tight for Max Frick. And T-Main Lati once again working so hard out there for Finland. And he realises at this point of course that France are out front and he's going to try and get up behind him but no way past Rezmus Jensen. Jensen wasn't quick but he rode very defensively and had to and he was not going to get passed by Lati. No chance at all. And they did give Frick half a chance here. That was not everybody was tied but Lati just about hung on and that was a blow for Australia. So the result then
