Marc Beaumont wins NPS rnd 3

Marc Beaumont gave himself the perfect leaving present before flying out to the World Championships in New Zealand with a fine win at the latest NPS round at Caersws. The current National Champion also leads the series overall. The Don rounded out the podium with a great 3rd place, showing that he is back on top of his game. With Will in 8th place, and Electric/Santa Cruz rider Tom Deacon in 7th it was a superb weekend for Santa Cruz riders - 4 V10’s in the top 8! Will and Marc are currently jetting off down under for the 2007 World Championships. Let’s hope they’re allowed to bring their medals back in their hand luggage... Good luck lads!!
