Team GB riders Harry Walker, Dafydd Davies and Chad Beevers put in strong and consistent performances at last weekend's Quadcross of Nations at Loket, Czech Republic. Team Ireland were a man down after Mark McLernon suffered from a race one accident.

Team USA, with riders Joel Hetrick, Brandon Hoag and Bryce Ford, continued its domination of the European championship to take its sixth victory in the discipline. 

Groups A and B were first out with 30 riders lining up on the start gate. A first turn incident resulted in Ireland’s Mark McLernon being taken to hospital. There were battles aplenty with Harry Walker and Dafydd Davies working their way through the pack. As the chequered flag fell, Walker had made it to fourth and Davies 18th.
