JUMPING GEORGE
Putting the hammer down early on in the championship with five straight wins gave George Hemingway (Beta) the advantage as this championship now approaches its conclusion.
George jumped to the head of the points table as Scotland’s Jamie Galloway (TRRS) raised his game to start pushing him as the year opened out. Hemingway’s winning margins were a huge void for Galloway to close down, but he has achieved this step by step, culminating with the win in round six. It was always going to happen, as he made his intentions clear that he was closing in at rounds four and five.
On the Vertigo, Alfie Lampkin remains strong in third position in the championship despite problems at round five, which pushed him down to fourth on the day, leaving the door open for Jay Piper (Beta) to make his first 2022 podium visit.
