His chances of securing the spot were strengthened with series leader David Holt unable to ride due to work commitments with Springthorpe securing it with second place on the night to gain 7 GP points to finish on 26. Holt will be first reserve at the MDLRC whilst Long Eaton’s Adam Portwood is second reserve after winning the Coventry round with an unbeaten 9 points to get 10 GP points and a final total of 17 although he was fortunate to escape an exclusion in his first ride for riding without a dirt deflector! Of those still in with a chance of making the MDLRC Aaron Mogridge and Conor Mountain were unavailable whilst Sam Ward finished third on 5 points but his 6 GP points were not enough but he will be first stand-by rider for the meeting. Adam Sheppard suffered an expensive engine blow up whilst leading his first ride whilst Sean Phillips picked himself up from falling in heat one when unable to see when filled in by Adam Portwood’s bike without a dirt deflector to score 4 but suffered a wrist injury. Home man John Markham crashed out in his first ride lopping the bike and withdrawing from the meeting whilst Rob Shuttleworth , who was in with a chance of a MDLRC reserve spot, was a non arrival. Final GP positions : 12 = Lawrence Fielding + Freddie Owen 3 14 John Markham 2 Lee Springthorpe 26 David Holt 20 Adam Portwood 17 Sam Ward 16 Aaron Mogridge 11 Connor Mountain 10 Rob Shuttleworth 10 = Sean Philllips + Trevor Bebbington 8.5 = Adam Sheppard + Adam Extance 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Since it was fairly obvious that not all riders would be able to attend all rounds , Taking the scores from each riders best 2 rounds would have been the fair and proper way to decide the winner .

Not really Simon. I take you view on board but as the series was run over 4 rounds it would not be fair to award it on the 2 best rounds or 50%. Maybe it is something we will look at for next year if we have more rounds but the problem has always been fitting these rounds in due to various reasons. I will give full credit to Lee Springthorpe though who has always taken this competition seriously and has raced in every round. A well deserved winner of the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
