Stockport hosted Round 6 of the Manchester League Grand Prix series on Wednesday. A reduced turnout of riders, this time 30, resulted in 41 races being completed in 2 hours, comfortably within daylight hours. Defending Manchester League Division 2 champions Astley & Tyldesley made it six wins out of six this year. A&T's top 5 scorers dropped just 1 point to an opposition rider all night, to clinch the league in emphatic style. A&T provided the top five scorers in the u-10s match and also in the overall u-10s Grand Prix series. John White, Charlie Burgess and Joe Quarmby all scored 15 points on the night and finished in that order in the Grand Prix standings. Jack Murray and Max Quarmby both impressed with some great riding. The u-13s match saw A&T's Max Evans race to a 16 points maximum and clinch the overall u-13s Grand Prix title. Stockport's Michael Preston also raced unbeaten and he overhauled Sheffield's Tom Whitwam to take 2nd place in the overall Grand Prix series. Emily Burgess put in a determined performance to pull off some good passes. A&T's Ciaran Collins top scored in the u-16s match, losing once to the u-16 Grand Prix winner, Adam Watson of Sheffield. Stockport's Jake Read raced to a 16 points maximum in the u-19s match and he overtook A&T's Reece Pollitt to win the overall u-19 Grand Prix series. An exclusion to Pollitt in heat 4 proved costly.
