Fantastic weather greeted the racers, but with a few injuries holding up proceedings, only two races were completed. The action in those two races though was epic and once again served up plenty of great racing for the spectators.

There was drama on the first bend of the first moto with Dean Dillon and Harry Walker when they got so close their bikes “locked together” with the wheels jammed and were going nowhere, it took almost three laps to separate them.

Alfie Walker fought through to take a great fourth just ahead of Oliver Sansom, with Lestyn Rowland taking sixth.
