Richard Cooper continued his ABK Beer 0% BMW Motorrad F900 R Cup domination as he stormed to his eighth win of the year ahead of Thomas Strudwick.
Cooper and main rival Strudwick battled for most of the 10-lap race as they broke free at the front, swapping the lead a number of times before Cooper finally got himself a bit of an edge on the penultimate lap, to eventually beat the Art of Racing rider by 0.763secs.
Behind, there was a much harder fight for third, which was eventually won by Christian Smith, as Mason Johnson took fourth with Kieran Smith fifth.
