British Supersport rider Max Ingham returned to his roots to win Peveril MCC’s beachcross at Douglas on Mad Sunday evening.
Aboard his 450cc Yamaha crosser, he won all three expert solo races to secure the top spot from Chris Moore, teenager Liam Smith third and visitor Jamie Dobson, who was runner-up in race one.
No fewer than 19 visiting riders took part in the B Group, including top four on the night Sheldon Seal, Oliver Macrea and Ryan Newbury and George Miles. A couple more came straight from the boat upon arrival in the island.
The only girl was 16-year-old Millie Bottomley, who bravely and gamely competed in the event on a difficult course up against all the men in front of thousands of TT spectators.
