The final eight after qualifying heats

Janowski is the surprise omission, failing to make it through to the top eight. Zmarzlik's night took a bad turn and he looked as if he was fighting his bike around the track.

Going into the last set of heats

Bewley has now taken the top spot and looks the strongest man on track. A rare pointless round leaves Zmarzlik down in fourth. Let take a look at those currently occupying the top eight.

HEAT 15 – Przedpelski, Thomsen, Huckenbeck, Lambert

Przedpelski is down on the first lap and excluded. This track is a tough cookie tonight. Huckenbeck is next to be excluded for going too early before the tapes are up. Norick Blodorn is subbed in. Lambert shoots out of the Gate, and it was his race from that moment. Thomsen takes second with Blodorn in third.

HEAT 14 – Fricke, Zmarzlik, Lindgren, Dudek

Lindgren takes a surprise but deserved win. Dudek takes second with Fricke in third. Zmarzlik has a rare pointless round, coming back in last.

Doyle is excluded after the first corner after hitting a rut. The final three are left to compete. Bewley’s night is going from strength to strength, taking the win after the re-start. Vaculik guides in home in second with Madsen taking the final point in third.

Track giving drivers a bad time

The ruts are really starting to form on track

"You can see the ruts getting really deep,” Scott Nicholls said on track after heat 12. “If the ruts get too deep, the engine grinds out and they can’t get the run to the first corner.

“We’ve seen how rutted the track is, and it is going to be difficult to enter the first turn.

“Starts are crucial but even more so tonight.”

How does the top eight look?

Zmarzlik carries on his dominance, with Dudek and Bewley not too far behind. Woffinden is just scrapping the top eight.

1 Bartosz Zmarzlik - 8
2 Patryk Dudek - 8
3 Dan Bewley - 8
4 Fredrik Lindgren - 6
5 Kai Huckenbeck - 6
6 Maciej Janowski - 6
7 Pawel Przedpelski - 4
8 Tai Woffinden - 4

HEAT 12 – Zmarzlik, Janowski, Huckenbeck, Doyle

Top eight after eight

Zmarzlik, Janowski, Dudek and Bewley have nothing between them, sitting on five points each. Przedpelski, Lindgren and Huckenbeck have four. Woffinden rounds out the top eight on three points after his stunning win in Heat 5.

6 Fredrik Lindgren - 4
7 - Kai Huckenbeck - 4
8 Tai Woffinden - 3

HEAT 8 – Janowski, Lindgren, Vaculik, Przedpelski

Gate 4 seems to be the winner tonight. Przedpelski has a flying start and holds on all Heat. Janowski had a little mistake in second but was able to hold off Lindgren in third. Vaculik, winner in Prague, came last.

HEAT 7 – Dudek, Michelsen, Doyle, Thomsen

The top three battled, but it was Dudek who was the victor. Thomsen kicked started his night in second with Doyle in third. Michelsen had another scoreless round. A big rut is starting to form, leaving the riders to battle the track tonight.

HEAT 6 – Bewley, Huckenbeck, Fricke, Holder

Bewley has a dodgy start but can keep his bike under control to take the win. Holder followed him in second with Huckenbeck in third. Fricke hit a few ruts in the ground, narrowly avoiding the wall. He continued on but his Heat was ruined and finished last.

HEAT 5 – Zmarzlik, Madsen, Lambert, Woffinden

Woffinden storms past Zmarzlik to take his first win of the night after a disappointing exclusion. Zmarzlik can’t keep up and takes second. Lambert claims the final point with Madsen coming back pointless.

After Four Heats

Zmarzlik, Janowski, Lindgren and Huckenbeck have each won a Heat a piece. Madsen, Doyle, Dudek and Bewley take fifth through to eighth after coming second in their first Heat's.

HEAT 4 – Michelsen, Bewley, Przedpelski, Zmarzlik

Another strong start from Gate 4 gives Bartosz Zmarzlik his first win of the night. Dan Bewley is hit by Pawel Przedpelski but can continue and take second with Przedpelski in third. Michelsen crossed the line last.

HEAT 3 – Huckenbeck, Dudek, Woffinden, Vaculik

Martin Vaculik and Tai Woffinden both have an individual mistake at the same time on the third lap and are out of the Heat. With the duo excluded, it left just Kai Huckenbeck and Patryk Dudek to compete. The home talent Huckenbeck took the win, leaving Dudek with two points in second on a picture perfect finish.

HEAT 2 – Lambert, Doyle, Holder, Lindgren
