ALEX Miell-Ingram secured his fourth successive Mota-vation Series victory to clinch the men’ series championship with a race to spare.

The Radley AC athlete has been in impressive form this year and continued in the same vein in hot conditions at Combe.

Miell-Ingram sat on the shoulder of former Oxford City runner Matthieu Marshall as the leaders approach the half-way mark, before racing away to claim victory by 30 seconds.

His time of 22.22 was only 18 seconds short of the course record.

Abingdon AC look to have opened up an unassailable lead in the men’s team competition.

Their latest points haul was helped by Jack Shayler, Owen Stepney and Harrison Reid finishing fifth, sixth and tenth respectively.

Abingdon hold a 325-point lead heading into the final race, as the club bid to win the title for the first time since 2010 and end City’s seven-year dominance.

City’s Julian Richardson and Vale of Aylesbury’s Paul Gregory have wrapped up the vet 50 and 60 titles respectively.

Headington RR’s Diane Foster is within touching distance of the ladies’ championship after claiming her third victory.

Her club also look set to retain the team honour.

The series finale takes place at Marston Ferry Road, Oxford, on August 30. New entries will be available on the night.
