Max Ingham and Daniel McCanney shared honours in Ramsey MCC’s pre-TT sprint enduro at West Kimmeragh, Bride with a win and a second apiece.

Ingham was quickest in round one of the mini series with a combined time of 22min 04sec, seven seconds clear of former pro rider McCanney with Bobby Moyer an impressive third on an electric bike.

The leading clubmen were Stan Cubbon, Harry Beattie and Louis Piggin, while the best of the sport riders were Steven Teare and Phil Gunnell.

A good turnout of six quad bikes resulted in a win for Matt Thorpe by 19s from Alex McHugh.

Danny McCanney turned it around in the afternoon, completing the four timed runs of the same two-mile perimeter track in a total time of 21m 20s.

Astonishingly, Ingham was seven seconds slower, so the pair were identical on overall time for the day.

Cubbon was again seventh overall and best clubbie in an improved time of 24.28, but young Marley Meechan rode really well for second spot only 19s behind.

Steve Teare again won sportsman from Kirk, but there was no living with Matt Thorpe in the quads.

EVENING TRIAL

It had to happen one day sooner or later, and Tom Knight finally managed to beat his father Juan in a local trial at West Kimmeragh on Saturday evening.

Tom rode the trial for a single dab on section eight on the first of three visits, while Juan dabbed the opening sub and had a two on section five.

His tally of three was rivalled by close friend Michael Cannan who dabbed section two, and had consecutive dabs on section eight on laps one and two.

Baye Franklin topped youth medium with a loss of nine, all on section eight, while Glyn Parry won adult medium with the same score, including two threes on section eight.
