Ryan Taylor was in the mix too 3,4,3 gave him the final podium spot on the day.

The Vmx was up next. The top 4 was a very close run thing. Billy Hazell claimed all 3 moto wins (1,1,1). Second was grabbed by Mark Morris Senior who was consistent throughout the day. A small error in race three off of the start meant he had to climb from the back of the pack to get 3,3,3. He wasn’t the only rider that had problems. Neil Grant had some problems in race three which took him out of the running for a podium finish on the day. Tony Hale finished off the day with a second place finish in moto 3.

Some breathtaking racing on display in the Youth class. Luke Southern was unbeatable all day. Some extremely impressive riding yet again from the rider. 1,1,1 secured a clean sweep for Luke and maximum points on the day. Second place could’ve been anybody’s with the high quality of racing on show. In the end, it was Max Aspden who showed everyone how it’s done. He stunned everybody with his 2,4,3 finishes. He was followed closely by Cody Spacagna who even holeshotted and led the last race. He rounded off the podium with results of 6,3,2

The Big wheeled 85s were last out on the day. Riley Ingram was unbeatable in his class. He won all 3 motos with ease. He went 1,1,1. Alfie Payne and Fabian Morrison were battling behind Ingram.
