A fine night brought out the numbers to contest the Guardian Cup further. Jim, aggressively with a full set of rides this year has secured his place at the top of the overall table, but after a holiday, Matt Sayle came storming back with another time improvement, and a bunch of points to go with it to keep a second place with 3 qualifying rides so far.
Don’t forget (or as a note to those who don’t know) – over the series of 10 qualifying Guardian Cup events, your best 5 scores are the ones that go to the overall, so if you’re late to the game this year, you still have time to get another 6 good rides in!
