 Should have won in the Narodobi Unlucky not to it was restarted and Fridley Lingman came out on top that night Lingman's actually got a very good record on temporary tracks always seems to perform well Has won in the Narodobi on two occasions Done the business here of course in the past Fridley He knows what it takes Every chance from the outside absolutely is the right place to be now in the track has had a couple of races Jack holder gates who smart Nick although he's now won a race. It hasn't made a start all night So if Jack holder can drop it across it and survive the first term without Freddie rounding him up Fancy further here. I really do. I think the opportunity to swing the shot the opposition is there for him Smart a couple inside in red Jack holder out of gate number two in blue Martin Vashley Gate number three in white and lingon Out of the outside in the yellow helmet color as you rightly said Four riders in the top five in the world championship top two going head to head Martin Vashley can third what a lineup a fitting lineup to conclude the night here in the principality It's been a fabulous night We had drama last year the track just didn't behave itself very different in 23 Congratulations to Ollie Olson and his staff. They've done a fine job here to produce a stunning race surface And as a consequence, we have witnessed some terrific speedway It's been a pleasure to be here and it's been a credit to the sport tonight. Absolutely back in Cardiff Yeah, it's been a super track super racing. Yep super event and it's all coming down to this one last four laps of the night Then who's going to be the winner? Whatever it's marzling fancy pretty on the outside here. We go there last time takes her up Vashling's made a good start. What a start from gate number three. What a first turn holder and sparsely Oh, no, did they stay up there? Martin Vashley had a gate number three a standing performance Sparsely has gone to the back jack holder hanging on his second bench But look at lingon coming on strong in third Unbelievable opening lap. I don't know how they all stayed on. I've got to see that one again Here comes lingon around the outside. No door has been shut by jack holder martin vashling comfortably out front I can't see him getting past. I'll tell you what jack holder's putting the pressure on Yep, not a disaster for smash. They go back in fourth place with lingon in third One more lap to go martin vashling looking to pick up his second Grand Prix victory of the year quite possibly his best performance Particularly when you consider he's come to the worst gate martin vashling Wins in the principality in cardiff in 23. What a night for him. Sparsely puts himself on the podium around the last time What a last cast move from sparsely as well. Never knows when he's beat got the better of lingon Oh my goodness What a night of speed where it is many congratulations to that man He is going to get a medal this year, isn't he? He is going along great guns Sparsely's had to work overtime for his rough brostrum position Jack holder He's an absolute agony He will be second ahead tomorrow. That's for sure But what an artist be where it is it belongs to martin vashling. It's been a terrific performance. It's a stunning start I can't wait to see it again Absolutely nailed it. I'll tell you about it. Here's the last move on the last corner with sparsely Just getting the better freddy lingon and as a consequence will extend his lead in the world championship 18 for freddy lingon but a cracking race I want to see that opening up again because it was so tight going into turn three on the first lap It was indeed former team mates of course in gorge of sparsely can martin vashling loads of respect between those two Many congratulations to jack holder that's almost like a win itself picking up 18 championship points tonight But that man clearly overjoyed it's a special place to race and of course it's extra special to win here That you see the reaction. It's all we're gonna sink in now And martin vashling at the age of 33 is really beginning to Mature like a fine wine. Look at that stunning start from gate three Yeah, I'll look at that there from sparsely because he lifts gets the bike under control so quickly Many other riders couldn't have reacted that quick and that could have resulted in a big big crash But martin vashling we hadn't mentioned him before the race there. Look at that. Well, how quickly does he react to get that thing under control? Could have gone horribly wrong, but it's all about martin vashling out front He's won the big one. He's won it carded cracking ride from him Yeah, and as you might say barter smiles, it never knows when he's beaten and he actually passes pretty lingering late on in the Final here with the last glass running outside to make pretty lingering The 16 points and barter smiles it will go away with a 24 point lead in the championship Fabulous effort from jack holder Miraculous effort i would suggest from jack holder to finish second here After the injury he's sustained back in the world cup last month But for martin vashling, this is a special moment. This will live long in the memory And as i say he won in Prague, which effectively is his home ground free He won back to back there. He won the previous year as well But vashling wins in fine style with a stunning start jack holder Finishes second here in the principality. That is a stunning effort barter smiles Like miraculously comes through into third place when he wasn't looked like he was going to even make the semi finals And freddy lingman unfortunately doesn't get on the rostrum here this evening We have done the principality prowl tonight. Yeah There the points handed out for this evening's event smart I'm uh martin vashling with 20 points jack holder 18 smiles that gets 16 14 for freddy Lambert gets 12 kim nilsson will be pleased with 11 points patrick dudek 10 max frick on nine It's all beginning to take shape now, but for barter schmarslich two rounds to go He's in the driving seat that man there looking like he could potentially pick up bronze freddy lingman looking pretty safe in second place You'll see the overall championship standings as well, which is uh gonna make uh interesting reading indeed Here we go then 138 for barter schmarslich 114 for lingman 105 of vashlich So all of a sudden looking a little bit more comfortable great move by jack holder the move in the fourth place Jason dahl slipping to fifth purely hanging on in sixth place with lambit in seventh and leon madsen in eighth Ty wolffenden just slipping back to tenth and that's tough because he might not be fit to ride in boyans May well need a wild card for next year now um dudek janofski disappointing once again and anders thompson on the injury list of course And probably won't see him again this year So we can make our way down to the infield now where scott nickles is joined by the winner martin vashalik Yeah, your winner here in cardis principality stadium is martin vashalik martin You had the worst gate and you after you smashed it Well made what an amazing feeling i'm in seven heaven now and uh i'm super happy so pleased for For this day i wanted them i'm very happy it is amazing feeling win here It was always one of my dream Since my kid's time when i watching grand prix in the tv all my idols here Winning and in my mind that time was one day.
