The course comprised of three time checks and a fairly quick special test that took in some very quick decents for those that had the B**ls to do it. With the final lap over Alex Walton from Rhayader took the win aboard a Gas Gas hot on his heels just around 3 seconds slower was Gethin Humphries also on a Gas Gas whilst the final podium position went to Carl Jones aboard a Huski.
