Thomas Strudwick held off title contender Edoardo Colombi to take victory in today’s race – but Colombi re-took the points lead as rival Richard Cooper crashed.
Cooper crashed at Craner on the opening lap and moments later Colombi ran off track in an unrelated incident, as Strudwick hit the front.
Colombi fought back and ended up in a battle with Strudwick for the remainder of the race but it was the latter who took the win by just 0.290secs, as Colombi picked up second to go 21.5 points clear at the top of the standings.
Harrison Dessoy was third, with Rhys Stephenson fourth as Alfie Davidson rounded out the top five.
