In the MX2 Championship HM Plant KTM rider Elliott Banks-Browne leads the series by eight points from Monster Energy Bike-It Dixon Yamaha's Mel Pocock. Whilst they have a large points lead it is tight for third, fourth and fifth in the series with Steven Lenior, Neville Bradshaw and Bryan Mackenzie fighting it out between themselves. Mackenzie will race under his own banner at Hawkstone after parting company with the Rockstar Moto-One KTM team.
