- Michael Aisbitt (Aus) and Andrew Burke (Aus) try to same the same line

- Keith Oliver and Del Walters argue with the UCI Chief Commisaire after Walters missed his start

The Chief decided anyway to forfeit his ride. Too bad - since he was on the way to an undefeated sweep and win in the 70+ Match Sprint heats.
