Day 2 of the championships saw two very close battles, in the Elite Men's race, where Liam Killeen and Roger Hammond repeated their ding-dong battle of two year's ago, and in the Junior race where Andrew Williams and Alex Paton thrilled the big crowd with a race-long battle. The Women's title was settled in a more one-sided race, but there was still plenty to enjoy as Helen Wyman pitched her international class against the best of the rest.
