It wasn't my day at all, I was struggling with the track for some reason.  In the first race I came 2nd after not a very good start.  In the 2nd race again I didn't go well and came last.  In the 3rd race I came 3rd behind my team mate and the same for the 4th race.  In the 5th race I had a bike problem and I tried to stay with them before they lapped me just in case someone came off but I retired in the end.  In the 6th race I changed bikes and I felt much better but it was too late for me to change my riding and I came last after a battle for 3rd.  In the 7th race I was 2nd and as I was going into the 1st bend on lap 2 I looked behind for my team mate because he was on double points but I made a mistake by going out too wide and dropped the bike, but I got back up and carried on and luckily another rider came off as well so I got back into the points.

 

I was not very happy with my day but I've just found out that I had an ignition problem which was probably why I struggled with the bike for the 1st five rides and especially in the 5th ride when the bike gave up.  I did notice something wasn't quite right with my bike for the 1st five rides but I just wasn't sure.  Again for the 3rd time the ref wasn't happy with my starts in the 4th race.  The first one was fair enough but in the re-run I was not happy with the ref's decision and in the 2nd re-run I didn't make the start but another rider got away with moving on the start which I wasn't very happy about at all.
