It is a month and Bosley, Warrington, Rhyl and Shuttlingsloe, since my previous review of the state of play in the Summer Series. Much has changed but, unsurprisingly, not Damian's overall lead or Di's top place in the Ladies.
The number who have now completed their seven races to qualify for the mug has swelled to 38 and perhaps some already have their name on the running shirt (12 races, 5 on-road, 5 off-road) but that's a more complex calculation.
The top ten, behind Damian; now reads Mike, Allan, Tom, Diane ,Phil, Jarrod, Jon, Matt, Richard.
and the Ladies behind Diane; Janine, Sally, Louisa, Huma, Nicky, Angela, Clare, Gail, Carolyn.
In League 1 the top is unchanged; Mike, Allan, Tom and Diane follow Damian.
Phil keeps his lead in League 2 with Jon holding second. Jarrod is up to 3rd., Matt to 4th. and Steve to 5th. Paul is down to 6th. Andy and Janine share 7th. then its Louisa.
Richard holds top place in League 3, Sally moves back up to second, Andy is 3rd. Gareth, Tim, Geoff and Patrick push Chris down to 8th. Nicky is 9th and Diane is looking dangerous at 10th.
Huma is not quite there mathematically in League 4. John has strengthened his hold on second place but Jon, up to third, is a threat. Ian is fourth but being closed-down by Gail, Angela and Clare. Carolyn is 8th., Simon 9th.
Sue has moved to the top of League 5 pushing Julie into second place. Jan is up to third. Don and Roy are 4th. and 5th. Cat and Amy are poised to jump.
