After a fast start by Gareth Montgomerie Henderson took up the challenge pushing the pace on the first lap taking Wardell and Ferguson with him. Into the second lap and Wardell dropped off the pace leaving Henderson and Ferguson to battle it out of for the title. A Couple of Mid race attacks by Ferguson meant a slender gap appeared but Henderson was twice able to bring it back before initialling his own attack on the last lap to pull himself clear for the win.
