Olympic hopeful Will Perrett showed himself to be a cut above at the British National Track Championships on Saturday night, stealing three laps in the points race to claim a fifth national title.
The 27-year-old rode conservatively in the first half of the 120-lap race, before springing into action to collect 78 points, 36 more than second place. It was déjà-vu for those who also raced in the event last year in Newport, where Perrett equally lapped the bunch three times.
