A second maximum of the season saw Lloyd Byford take the win at The Simplicity Stadium. He cruised through the heats largely untroubled and is now joint top of the overall standings at the halfway stage. Good performances behind him by Chris Holmes and Alfie Goodwin who needed a run-off to decide second spot after both had scored 12 points. Holmes rounding Goodwin on bend 3 of the second lap to take the win. Holmes finds himself inside the top 32 whilst Goodwin has hauled himself up from the bottom reaches of the standings but still has work to do to make the semis. Wayne Josephs scored a solid 11 points to keep up his strong start to the season and is in the top 10 overall. Joining him on 11 points was Ryan Betts who looks better and better with each round in his debut season. Darcy Broad was just behind them on 10 points with this good effort cementing his position in the top 10. Damien Flaherty continues to catch the eye in his first season and the young Irishman is battling hard for a semi-final place. Jason Jagger’s 8 points has moved him to just inside the to 32 and the unattached rider is taking well to his first JJ season. More experienced riders, Alain De Gruchy and Garth Street have flattered to deceive this season and poor scores in this round has seen them both drop out of the top 32. Both have much to do as we head into the second half of the qualifying rounds unlike Byford who already seems certain of a semi-final place and who knows what beyond that.
