IT'S advantage Ben Saunders following the opening round of the 2010 AMCA Superclass championship held at Shobdon, Herfordshire on Sunday.The reigning champ chased home young starlet Jack Taylor in the first moto of the day before winning the remaining two clashes.
For Taylor though this was a dream start after picking-up a brand new Delkevic 250F Kawasaki just 24 hours earlier. Despite having always competed aboard KTM machinery, Taylor quickly adapted to his new green machine which was totally standard, making his winning ride an even greater achievement. However after his fine start, Jack had to eventually settle for 10th overall as the impressive duo of Brad O'Leary and Lee Payne showed very determined, strong early season form to take the remaining podium places.
