IVERSEN SAID: “Have I earned a harder eight points than that? Probably not! I’m really happy about things and my progress through the night. “It was a terrible start. I started off bending my best bike . I had to go on
the spare one. Then we managed to fix the first one and I broke the chain because something happened when I crashed. It was bent for the rest of the meeting. I damaged my hand too and everything was just hard work. “I managed to make a good start in one heat and it got pulled back. I didn’ t
do the same in the re-run. “It just sucks the spirit out of you when you have these kinds of things go against you. But in the end, we tried something different with the bike; we didn’t have anything to lose. “Suddenly I went really quickly and I could actually be in the races. You could say we learned a lot during this hard night and I’m pleased how things ended. I can go away on a high and that’ s a good thing. “In the end, we turned it around and I managed to win a couple of hard races. One was off gate four, and I made a couple of passes as well. I had gate four in the semi-final and I knew it was going to be difficult. I had the speed and got closer and closer towards the end. “It would have been good to be in the Final after that kind of night, but it ended on a high and I’m pleased about that. “I retired and packed up from second place in heat six. Maybe a couple
more points and I could have got a better gate position for the semi. Then it may have been easier. But that’s the way things go. Sometimes it’s just really hard work. “You have to keep going, though. I felt really good on the bike in the last
two or three races. I felt I had the pace to compete with the good boys and that feeling is good. When you finish on a low and feel hopeless, that’s bad. I’m quite pleased about the second half of the meeting – the first wasn’ t my night.”
