th ree , H ick s ' bik e beg an losin g
power a nd got stead ily worse, a llowing Mike Kell a nd Ell is to go by.
Finall y, H ick s bi ke was barel y runni ng a nd h e was forced 10 re tire. Ell is
chased Kell for a few laps a nd took the
lead at th e start o f lap seven. At th e

time to retak e th e lead. O swell went
