EXPERT CLASS

Looking very comfortable with the conditions, James Fry put in a first lap score of a mere seven marks lost, leaving his championship rivals playing chase-up as Richard Sadler (Acklams Beta) was next on fifteen followed by round one winner Dan Thorpe (JST Gas Gas UK) on seventeen. On the second lap all of Fry’s hard work came undone as he parted with three fives in his lap score of twenty-four, putting Sadler right back into contention for the win. Fry kept his cool though to post the best last lap score to hold off Sadler and Harold McQuaid, who had a good day’s riding to come home third. Recovering from a heavy bout of the ‘flu bug Thorpe was the next best in fourth, well clear of Tom Affleck (Cloburn Sherco) and James Stones (Acklams Beta).
