 Dan Buley off the inside in the red helmet colour. Gank number two in blue is Martin Vashlik. Big ride needed for Martin Vashlik. Matt Tensen out of gate number three in white and Max Flick off the outside. Also searching for a couple of points here as well, the Australian. Big racists here, but Martin Vashlik can ill afford to slip up here when you consider Smarslik not in the meeting. Here we go. Tapes are up, roaring to the first corner. Buley's made an absolute superb start there. Martin Vashlik running high and wide in the first corner up the inside. Yeah, just about, hangs on to it. Super effort there for Martin Vashlik, but he's very vulnerable. Now Hadson, once again, terrific performance from him. And Max Frick has come through. That's disaster. Martin Vashlik's off. Got himself in a real pickle going into turn one. He pulls the bike away. The race will continue. Oh, my goodness. Frick's now gone down. What on earth is going on? The conditions just catching everybody out. Lights are on. Frick just strewn there. So track is very greasy. And it's catching the best riders in the world out tonight. And Martin Vashlik, well, he came down earlier on. That's not what he needed. With Jack Holder going to the world, he could slip out of the top three tonight. You know, not only is Bartol Smarslik not here, but it's just not working out for him. Clear frustration there with Martin. And Max Frick, who had battled his way back into the night, a disappointing moment for him as well. But we've seen Andre Lebedevs come down there. Clearly very greasy out there on turn number three. Gee, I think Max Frick could stay in the top eight. But, yeah, taking a look at it again here now. We can see Dan Beauty clearly out in front. Martin Vashlik at the back. Never settled into the race. Looked uncomfortable the whole time. Here now, Max Frick, same lap inexplicably. I mean, Max doesn't make mistakes. He's a solid, good rider. And I really don't understand quite how that's happened. For the track surface. Well, yeah, it's certainly catching them out. Yeah, it's cold out there. They put water on. It's greasy and it's catching the riders out. They are finding it awfully difficult to find a setup. Look at that. It's a small error. But, you know, like, it just happened on him. It just turned around so quickly. Exactly that. He's come in there, hasn't done anything different. But the bikes, look at the back tire. No chance at all. He's in reverse there. He doesn't make mistakes like that. You've got to say, that's, that's, uh, quite instinctual. So just to rerun with two here, with Max Frick and Martin Vashlik excluded from heat number 18. Don't like to see that, actually. We're riders really struggling to cope with conditions. It's been a lovely day. So there's no real excuse for it. But nonetheless, that is what has been presented to riders. As I say, Max Hansen here is having a terrific night. And he will go through to the semi-final. The second place almost guaranteed here for him. What a night he's enjoying. I wasn't expecting him to be so busy. But with all the drama that went on before the evening, you've got to say that, and there, Benjamin Basso, who I thought was out of the meeting, looks like he's prepared to ride. In heat number 20. So it must have been a change of heart there. He'll come in for Jason Doyle in heat number 20. But we're still at heat 18. Okay, I'll be putting on the two minutes now, okay, in about five cents seconds. So, Max Hansen, there'll just be effectively a match race here. newly who was away. Beauty's had a few restarts tonight, hasn't he, in his races. Two minutes, guys! Show great composure. Two minutes on. It's going to be up a take. It's really remaining calm and collected. Hang on very nicely indeed. Max Rick could stay in the top eight, but it is all going to depend on the results of heat 19. Okay, so the two race wins could come to his rescue, but if Rasmus Jensen were to win his race, then it will come back to count back with a couple of wins. But we'll wait and see how that transpires. We've got three races to go before the semifinals. See, we're running out of riders at a rapid rate tonight. Depleted field here to this evening with the nutritional conditions, which is somewhat of a surprise when you have such a lovely day. Here we go then, just the two of them. And Beauty on the inside gate, looking good. But young Max Hansen has had a terrific night here, coming in as reserve, really has taken his opportunity very well indeed. He's going to have a semifinal at least, isn't he? He really is. So will we see a reserve rider make a final again? Wouldn't put it past him. No, it's come under pressure in his races, but he's riding really well. He's not panicking, he's not getting out of anybody's way. No, he's not. Down Beauty on the inside in the red helmet colour. No rider in gate number two. Max Hansen out of gate number three in white and no rider off the outside. So a head-to-head here between Hansen and Beauty. Beauty the favourite, two points a minimum if you complete the four laps and that will do either of them. More than adequate to make sure that they go through to the latter stages tonight. Beauty in sixth place in the world championship, taking the opportunity tonight to surge up the charts. Here we go then. Takes her up, Max Hansen's there. Not quite down Beauty, making a nice run into the first corner. And Max Hansen wide coming up the inside, pushing on, Mikey looking good once again, hugging the inside. Beauty's gone very, very wide. Max Hansen's in front. Momentarily, Beauty just about getting his nose back to the front as they start the second lap, took a chance, Beauty, there going very wide. Had a turn number four, but now doesn't do the same. Middle of the track, beginning to pull away. Down Beauty, this is looking like another win for him. Yeah, he had to move out when he made the pass back on Hansen. He ran into the corner so hard, he had to elect to run out to the dirt. Now he's being a little bit more conservative, just riding around the middle of the track, edge of the dirt stuff. I don't think Max Hansen, as much as he's wide. He's right there? Yeah, he's right there, but I think Dan's got it covered. Down the back straight for the last time, got to say Max Hansen giving it one last blast, high and wide in turns three and four. You're right, Chris. Not quite going to get there. Beauty comes through in the end. But as hard as Hansen tried, just couldn't quite get himself to the front, but nonetheless finishes with another second play. So moving along very nicely indeed, three points for Dan Buley, Matt Hansen a second place, and Malton Vasilyk and Max Frick don't score, because they were both excluded, because they crashed in heat number 18, to a colder out in front on 12 points. Dan Buley moving along nicely onto 11, Mikkelsen on 10, Leon Madsen on 10 with a race to come. He could leapfrog all of them, as can Robert Lambert, but Matt Hansen a fine effort on 10 points from his five-vote rise tonight, and will be in the semi-finals. Great result for the 23-year-old from Denmark. Yeah, the last two riders standing in this one, but Dan Buley Rockets from the start around the inside, and then decides he's going to ride high and wide, and Madsen is pretty much stuck to the inside or mid-track, never wider than that in every race so far. There, I think Dan just ran wide, but also broke traction as he was going across to the dirt line, and stuck with it, managed to get his nose back in front, had to run wide, had to go back out into the dirt. Look at the hole he's left there, though, from the charging Matt Hansen. He was fair, he didn't go straight across to the fence, that probably would have ended in carnage with the speed that Dan Buley was generating, that Dan soon realised, I've got to go a little bit tighter than that. Yes, he did so.
