finish fifth.

row two in the next race and finished second, less than half a second down.

two-day meeting with sixth place, but then rattled up two thirds and a fourth
to end third in the points’ table on 55, 40 down on Reeve.
Lee Wilson
(MSG Racing Suzuki 1000) was the man to beat in the big bike races.

rival Ross Walker (Yamaha).

second to Dan Hegarty (Cross Lane Garage Kawasaki) in the first two F600 races,
then won the third, before running home a close second to Walker in the fourth.

still recovering from the arm injury which led him to have 11 operations, did
not ride in Monday’s two races, but still completed 40 laps on the big bike,
leaving him very tired.

Minitwins.

third home.
