Leok played his part in the MX1 show down, as he battled hard with De Dycker in the first race and prevented the Belgian from taking a maximum points haul that would have put further pressure on MacKenzie. With the championship safe, Leok passed his Scottish team-mate in the second MX1 encounter to produce an impressive 1-1 performance. It was a similar story in the M2 class, with Dougan taking full advantage of his rivals nerves with a great opening race win, and a mature runners up spot in the second moto to claim the top step of the podium on the day.
Although Brown failed to show in the MX1 battle, despite his entry in the class in what looked liked a veiled attempt to help De Dycker, there was still plenty of action behind the leading trio. Just one point separated Brad Anderson – Pioneer Yamaha and James Noble – Multitek Honda prior to Pontrilas and when Noble edged out Anderson in the first moto, it meant third place in the series would go down to the wire. The final fight between Brad and James was not pretty, but gave the large crowd plenty to cheer about, with Noble taking the number three plate come the finish.
Graeme Irwin – KTM became the first winner of the MXY2 Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship, which was introduced to the series for the first time this year. Irwin produced a better last round showing to steal the title away from Lewis King – Team Green Kawasaki who led by two points going into the final day.
With the 2007 championship being declared a massive success from all quarters, preparations to deliver an even better series in 2008 are already underway. Full championship information can be found at www.mxgb.co.uk
