Joe Talbot took his second win of the season to cut Davey Todd’s championship lead to just one point in a hard-fought Cadwell battle.
Todd got an impressive start from Row Two to ride around the outside and into the lead at the first corner as Talbot and Luke Mossey settled in behind him, the pair swapping places briefly before Talbot moved back into second on the third lap and then passed Todd on Lap Five.
The battle continued as Todd hit the front again but he was powerless to stop Talbot coming past on the penultimate lap – and was unable to find a way past on the final lap as a backmarker came into play in the closing corners.
Local star Tim Neave was third, with Mossey fourth as Matt Truelove took fifth.
