Christian Holt (Suzuki 1000) now leads on 276.

John Lea (Triumph 675) won all four Monex Europe Power Sport 600 races, but it had no effect on the battle for the title.

Wayne Humble (Yamaha) took two seconds and two thirds to climb to the top of the points’ table on 347, with David Wood Jr (Yamaha) second on 328, overtaking the absent Richard Charlton (Yamaha), who has 319.

Tom has 381 points, six more than Jamie.

Modern Classic Formula 1

Kingsley Ruddy (Suzuki 1000) missed the practice day, but still qualified second fastest for the Modern Classics Formula One class.

He won race one, on Saturday morning, nearly 24 seconds clear of his closest rival, Laurie Sands (Kawasaki 1000).

Ruddy missed the second after suffering a gear-box oil leak in the Powerbike 1000 race immediately before, leaving Sands to take victory ahead of Karl Fuller (Yamaha 1000).

Ruddy bounced back to win the third race, on Sunday morning, with Sands again runner-up.

Ruddy made it three wins in the fourth and final race, which was red-flagged after seven laps and re-run at the end of the day, with Sands once again second.

Ruddy still leads the championship, but Sands is now only three points behind him.

Modern Classic Superbikes

Owen Richardson (Kawasaki 750) had only scored in two of the previous eight races in the Modern Classic Superbikes, but despite that was still leading the class by 13 points from Matt Taylor (Kawasaki 750).

Richardson’s bad luck continued here when his engine blew up when leading race four.

He could not make the re-run, so ended the day with three wins.

Taylor finished fifth and third in the two races he completed, so the gap has now stretched to 46.

Modern Classic Superbike EVO

Steve Blackwell’s hopes of regaining the lead in the Modern Classic Superbike Evo class were dashed as early as practice when the gear-box on his Suzuki 750 broke,

Then on a machine loaned by Alan Smith he was taken out at the hairpin early in Sunday’s first race, fracturing his right foot.

He did not score a point all weekend while rival Raymond Stagg added another 95 to his score, climbing to 394, a lead of 129.

BSN Man of the Meeting

Stefan Cappella won the BSN Man of the meeting for his exceptional performance in the 3 hour Endurance race on the Saturday, in which he finished third in the Prime Factors Performance Hose Racing Team;

He then stayed on and contested the two PowerBike 1000 races on the Sunday.

It was unusual for the 25-year-old salesman from Reigate, Surrey to run in the big MotoGrande class, but against very strong opposition he qualified on Pole, over a second quicker than the rest and went on to win the two races on his BMW1000, setting the fastest lap each time.
