Knocking on Wood'
By TMX Archives on 16th Jun 10
FOLLOWING another day of dramatic AMCA Championship action, it's all change at the top of the MX1 table as reigning champion Ben Saunders now holds a 24-point advantage over Lee Payne.
During round three at Woodford, near Kettering on Sunday, Saunders also took the overall win with the Barrs cousins, Clinton and Elliot, completing the podium.
In MX2, Phil Mercer and Lee Dunham continue to just about match each other result for result and still only a very narrow five-points separates them in the title race.
Mercer and Dunham also filled the top two positions on the podium, joined by local rider Sean Frayne. For Frayne, his third overall meant that he has also now leap-frogged Jack Taylor in the title table.
