Garland cruises at Cusses Gorse

While Garland was doing his stuff in the Open class the race for the title in the Big-wheel went to the very last race of the series with just a single point separating new champion Josh Coleman from second place man Robert Yates in the closest finish to a championship for a long time.

 

The track at Cusses Gorse in Wiltshire was in great condition and the weather, for once, was just what was forecast with sunny spells all weekend long with a strong breeze cooling things down, but at lest there was no rain like there was in lots of other parts of the country.

 

It was evident that Garland was the man to beat in the open class from the start of qualifying first thing Saturday as he posted the fastest time almost one and a half second clear of his closest rival, Alex Meadows on his Chevron Kawasaki and that same pace stayed with him all weekend.

 

Jack Kelly got the holeshot on his Malin Honda at the start of the first open class race, with Garland second and Ryan Monckton third. It took Garland till lap four to get in to the lead from where he seemed to up a gear and clear off.

 

Monckton passed Kelly at the half way stage to take second at the flag, some 12 second behind Garland but a second and three quarters clear of Kelly as Adam Darbyshire and Aaron Pipon followed Kelly over the line.

 

The pressure of winning the championship must have got to Garland in the second race as it took the youngster, after gating third, five laps to find away passed the fast starting Monckton after John Adamson had crashed out of second place. 

 

Garland eventually won by just under six seconds, as Monckton hung onto second with Meadows a distant third with Pipon fourth.

 

All Garland had to do was win the third and final race on Saturday to be champion and he did it in style, as he passed Frazer Wakeford on the opening lap, and the leader Pipon on lap three before cruising to a 20 second winning margin as Pipon hung onto second with Wakeford third and Monckton fourth. Meadows fought his way up from ninth at the start to finish fifth.

 

A new day for race four but a relaxed Garland passed the fast starting Meadows (who got the holeshot) on lap two and went on to take his fourth win of the weekend, this time by just under 33 seconds as Meadows hung on to second with Pipon spending the whole race in third place.

 

Darbyshire snatched fourth out of the grasp of Monckton on the last lap after starting the race way down in tenth.
