Something must have gone wrong, but we don't know what exactly. Joost set the 7th time, 1.4 seconds behind the suprisingly Roger Rinderknecht who was the fastest today.

-UPDATE-

Rinderknecht wasn't just ordinary fast, he was almost half a second faster than World Champion Jared Graves. Michal Prokop was third, R.S.P.-rider Tomas Slavik 4th and Johannes Fischbach fifth. Romain Saladini took 6th place, Wichman 7th.

Joost: 'I just wasn't on fire. It didn't felt well and I made a couple mistakes. But the finals are tomorrow and that's a whole different story...'
