Former TT and British Superstock rider Gavin Hunt showed his pace off-road when he mopped up in Peveril Motor Cycle Club’s annual beachcross at Douglas on Sunday evening.

Watched by a large crowd of spectators along the length of Central Promenade, Hunt won all three Group A races on his 350cc KTM four-stroke, and later also added a fourth win in the Allcomers event.

Pre-event favourite, former British Enduro Champion Daniel McCanney, hit problems early on when his 300cc Beta sucked in water on the opening lap of the first race, and that was it for him.

The returning from injury Bobby Moyer rode well to grab two seconds and a third in front of Beau Brown and Liam Smith.

Travis Meechan won the opening B Group race, but Harry Shand won the remaining two motos ahead of him in what was the biggest field of the night with 27 riders signed on, including a number of visitors.

The 125s of Callum Christian and Jacob Wilson did well in the sand to finish third and fourth.

The small entry of quad bikes were led home by Alex McHugh from the ever-present Mike Kerruish and relative newcomer James Whelan.
