It’s DeJa Vu as the MX1 Championship comes down to the final round at Landrake between Tommy Searle and Harri Kullas. It was Tommy who came away with the title last year and this year he comes in leading the series, 15 points ahead of the Cab Screens Crescent Yamahas Kullas. Who takes the title, it’s anyone’s guess, however you’d have to say, Searle has the cushion of 15 points to play with. Shaun Simpson is 3rd in the Championship 40 points back from Kullas and 55 points back from Tommy, which mathematically rules him out of the title fight. Josh Gilbert is 4th in the series on 239 points, 30 back from Simpson in what’s been an up and down year for the SC Sporthomes Husqvarna rider. John Adamson sits 5th in the Championship and the young Scot has really found his form in recent rounds so keep an eye out for him.
