Rounds 23 & 24: Craigantlet, 4 August

Scott Moran made a dramatic return from a two-round absence at Craignatlet, where he shared the run-off wins with Wallace Menzies.

Moran was second to Menzies in the first encounter, before taking the outright win and a bonus point for setting a new hill record in the second. Finishing ahead of series leader Trevor Willis means Moran is now only two points behind, with fewer to drop later in the season.
