At 10am, Jacob and Ole Olsen began the process of removing the track's specially made track cover, which has protected the 300 legendary meters since Monday morning.
The track cover has ensured that the international jury, led by Polish Piotr Szymanski and English Phil Morris, is confident that tonight the track will offer world-class speedway. They chose Friday to cancel the normal training and time qualification, precisely to protect the field.
