A good contest with great overtakes by Josh (x3) and Archie. Another max for Kieran. Ryan very unlucky coming down on the second bend, and taking a blow to the head, and getting concussion that ruled him out of the meeting. Ironically Corbin was guesting for Luke Harrison, who completed his 8 day concussion ban last night, after a similar accident at Glasgow a week earlier.

 

Two sporting encounters.
