WHAT DO you call a Welsh motorcycle stunt man? Evel Llanievel! Or Mark Jones! The Phoneparts KTM man hit the eject button in style at round three of the British four-stroke and U21 champs at Wakes Colne in Essex. WHAT DO you call a Welsh motorcycle stunt man? Evel Llanievel! Or Mark Jones! The Phoneparts KTM man hit the eject button in style at round three of the British four-stroke and U21 champs at Wakes Colne in Essex. Amazingly, he walked away unscathed...Jones' crash allowed David Campbell to take the lead, the race win and the advantage in the thumpers title chase. But Brad Anderson fired back for the win in race two and with Big Davy only managing fourth after a mid-pack start, the points lead went back to the North East.The U21s saw the ever-improving Graeme Gowland take his third straight overall but not without a fight as Lewis Gregory and Richard Fitch showed that they have the speed to mount a challenge come the end of the season.Series standingsFour-stroke1 Anderson 92 points, 2 Campbell 90, 3 Pettit 71, 4 D Smyth 69, 5 Jones 63, 6 J Smyth 60Under 21s1 Gowland 114 points, 2 Gregory 80, 3 Fitch 75, 4 Johnson 59, 5 Lewis 54, 6 Columb 52
