Riss started with a last place in Heat 4, before taking four third places, including defeating Robert Lambert in Heat 16.
Riss was the early leader of that race before Jack Holder and world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik thrust inside him in ruthless style.
Riss lost out on one point when Heat 19 was halted while he was in second place, after fourth-placed Jason Doyle fell. He finished third in the re-run.
