IN-FORM Leicester Lion Cubs youngster Ryan Ingram scored a 15-point maximum to lead the qualifiers for the British Under-21 Final.
Ingram raced to five wins out of five in Sunday’s Qualifier at the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park to again underline the rapid strides he is taking in the sport.
His victory over Jordy Loftus In Heat 15 on a sweltering afternoon put him in position to win the meeting, and he duly confirmed it with a win over his Lion Cubs team-mate Seth Norman in Heat 18.
Loftus dropped a single point to finish second with 14, whilst Harry Fletcher was third just ahead of impressive 15-year-old Ollie Binns who scored 12.
Max Perry made it two Leicester riders to go through as he notched 10, whilst Norman just missed the cut as he finished level on points with Harry Sadler for the final qualifying place but was beaten in a run-off. It means Norman will be a reserve for the Final at Redcar on Sunday June 7.
Ingram said: “Qualification naturally was the main objective, but I felt confident I had the pace to take the win today.
“I’m really pleased with my performance and looking forward to the British Under-21 Final at Redcar.”
