Criterium - Heat 4
Hove Park
3rd August 2001
After having gone so well at Preston Park, it was sad in the extreme that Geoff Bird lost control of his brand-new shiny streamliner at the end of the first lap, slammed it into a stout wooden post and comprehensively destroyed the machine.  He escaped with a severe shaking and a few bruises, though I'm told that his feet later swelled up something awful.  Once the race was restarted, we had a group of four off the front, with Ymte Sijbrandij just getting the win.  Paul Lowing, on the Gnat folding trike, suffered some kind of derangement to the front wheels, which put the machine out of further involvement in the Championships.
