MBO Yamaha’s Kristian Whatley won the opening moto but bike problems meant he couldn’t start the second moto putting him out of the top ten overall, he managed a troubled seventh in race three.
Putoline Honda’s Neville Bradshaw was the top MX2 rider but Steven Lenoir was very fast in race three with a third just behind EBB and Watson on the Dantec Husqvarna!
