SSDT Day 3 - Wednesday
By John Dickinson on 4th May 17
Dougie Lampkin kept his quest for an 11th Scottish Six Days Trial victory and third consecutive for Vertigo, on course with his third consecutive clean sheet to stand alone at the head of the field, an incredible performance.
But Doug was not alone on a clean sheet for the day's 30 sections as his ride was matched by Gas-Gas contenders Jack Price and Michael Brown and Beta's Jack Shepherd and Richard Sadler.
Spain's veteran Jordi Pascuet dropped two marks on the day but continues to pursue Lampkin, just three marks back, the same as British teenager Jack Price, the pair locked on three marks overall.
Suffolk's Jack Sheppard sits in fourth spot on a total of four marks, alongside teenager Tom Minta who has made a mega impressive SSDT debut.
Scotland's Gary Macdonald remains in the mix for Scorpa in sixth overall following his single dab ride today.
Thursday will break with the traditional route over Rannoch moor and will see the action kick off at Leanachan ahead of moving on to Laggan Locks with regulars missing their annual trek across Rannoch Moor.
