" T his track is really wide and made for a lot o f passin g. " Watts a ppeared to be having a difficult time ri di ng and at the start of th e seco nd la p p u lled off the tra ck. " I may have bro ken my hand in my heat race ," said Watts. " I tried to tap e up my wrist, bu t when I went off _ jumps"it j nst h u rt too bad to ride, so I pulled off."
