Olly improved his time in round two setting up a last round show down. Olly led the field off in round three but early into his run he clipped the tape securing the carpet and flipped his Hot Bodies Cyclone, Andy now had a clear track and made good use of it setting FTD and putting himself on pole for the A final.
