Mark McLernon, Justin Reid and Harry Walker won a race apiece at today’s sixth round of the Cromwell Trucks British QX Championship at Cusses Gorse.

McLernon’s first and two second-place finishes were enough to award him the overall on the day and marginally increase his championship lead over Walker. Walker’s second, third and win placed him second overall on the day, and clear leader of the Under-21 Championship. Reid kept the youngsters in check by posting a sixth, first and fourth to take third overall on the day and in the championship.

There are two rounds of the British still to go at Dean Moor and Canada Heights; the top three (provisional) are McLernon 404 points, Walker 359 and Reid 336. With 75 points up for grabs at each of the remaining two rounds and Walker and Reid piling the pressure on McLernon; this is a championship that is set to go to the wire.
