Kevin Loundes (230) did what he has done throughout this winter's Manx Gas Challenge - take John Halligan on. But John (number hidden) went on to retain his title. Gianni Epifani (the taller if the two chasing runners) took fourth and Ed Gumbley (also pictured) fifth but Nigel Armstrong overtook them to clinch third. (ML)
