Scott Roberts (Team Identiti) took his first Pro-Elite win today (Saturday) at Hale Superbole, Harthill in round four of the Schwalbe British 4X series. Torrential rain in the early hours had made the technical course heavy going but just as the first practice session of the day started the sun broke through to dry the track and ensure a full days racing. No one was taking many chances in the moto qualifiers and riders were doing just enough to secure points to go through to the semi-finals. In fact with the 4X Nationals competition being run the following day the hard work was put to one side in readiness for the big event.
