After 3 days of racing, Brit Master Simon Payne is leading the Worlds by just 2 points, with a very impressive scoreline, discarding the DNF he hasn’t finished outside the top 5 – not bad for a guy with a gammy knee – and proof to all there can be no excuses.

Those watching the live feed were treated to a spectacular finish by Scott Babbage – he explains all here, and if you want to see it its at Minute 32 on this video.

Just in case that wasn’t enough, a conspiracy on the live chat resulted in a very special moment  – video. I won’t spoil the fun and tell you what happened… it made our day.

And if you haven’t seen the whole sequence of our very own Ricky Tagg having a slightly silly moment.. here it is. Thank you to Thierry Martinez for capturing it! More of his excellent photos can be found here.
