Cab Screens Crescent Yamaha rider Harri Kullas clinched the Michelin MX Nationals MX 1 championship at round four at Landrake in Cornwall.
In race one Harri was 2nd off the line to Tommy Searle and it stayed like that for the majority of the race, as Harri looked to bide his time, staying close to Searle. Then three laps from the end, Harri made the decisive pass into the lead and edged away for the win.
Harri got the holeshot in race two and this time Evgeny Bobryshev was chasing and putting Harri under serious pressure for two thirds of the race, until a fall on lap 10. That left Searle around 5 seconds back which is where he stayed until two laps form the end, when Tommy put on a huge charge to try and take the win, but fell just short, as Harri won by a second. The last race win meant Harri secured the Pro MX1 championship with one round left, the same as he did in 2019.
He said: “Obviously great weekend to wrap up the title 1 round to go. Didn’t even know it was possible until the night before! Racing day itself went good. 1st race had good start behind Tommy 2nd, and started follow him and working out the lines where I could pass him. I made the pass few laps before the end and won the moto. Great racing and nice to get the win.
“Second race holeshotted. Bobby was pushing and trying everywhere to make the pass but I figured few of his lines and stayed calm to keep the lead. Few laps to go Bobby went down and I knew Tommy will try to catch me and he came close, but I managed to ride smart to take the win and title. Very happy about the weekend and especially to get the title back after winning it 2019 and on first year with Yamaha support for Cab Screens team.
