Suddenly, as the two lead riden started up the uphill, a lapped rider went down, taking Rogen out with him.

WIth a 2-} ftnish it was Hall taking home the gold with Rogen ftnishing IIeCOnd with a }-2 ICOre and Hollie taking third with a 5-5 finish. The minis were out in force as Chris Taylor (!law) led the Mini Intermediates from start to fmiah of the ftnt moto, finishing right behind Mini Expert rider Tracy Meeks (Yam). The win didn't come as easy in the second moto for Taylor as he found hlmlelf eating the dust of Yamaha rider Jeff Schaeffer.
