Eamonn Deane writes … With series leader, Jason Eastwood (Hargroves Cycles) not riding, Steve Dring (Echelon-rotor) claimed the honours in round 8 at Moreton.
The race came together with just over two laps remaining and the usual lull was followed by a flurry of attacks, none of which succeeded, until Dring went with a mile to go.
Gregg Shrosbree (Merida) liked what he saw and jumped across to the escaping Echelon-Rotor rider. The pair held a gap to the line with the smart money being on the experienced Dring.
Luke Gray (Hargroves Cycles) won the tight sprint for third place. Once again, bright evening sunshine had greeted the fifty plus field, with organiser Pete Washington opting for 55 mins plus 1 lap instead of the usual eleven 3 mile laps.
