Max Anstie continued his current winning form in MX2 by dominating the class by taking victory in the qualifying heat, along with both races on Sunday. Anstie the current point’s leader in the British Championship has now moved himself to within 46 points of the Championship lead with four rounds remaining.
In the premier class the MXGP class, Shaun Simpson was simply a cut above the rest as he went on to take a clean sweep of victories. The Scot claimed his first ever qualifying heat race win on the Saturday, before completing another career first on race day as he claimed his first ever double race win and second GP win of his career.
