Army sweeps podium, but RAF ride away with double title glory at Donington

The RAF Motorcycles Road Racing team are celebrating double Inter Services following the final round of the season at Donington.

An all-Army podium saw Stephen Thomas win the race with Sam Foster in second and Kieron Wood in first.

However, it didn't stop the RAF from sealing the team title and Dean Turner winning the individual Inter Services title with a fourth-placed finish.

• Senior Service superiority: Royal Navy tops Irish Defence Force 4-1 to claim team boxing title

Army rider Foster came into Donington knowing he needed a good result and for Turner to disappoint on track to have any chance of winning the championship, but qualifying didn't go his way.

Thomas took pole position but Turner was in a good spot in second while Foster was down in sixth.

However, a whirlwind start to the race changed the stakes. Turner dropped out of the podium places on a bike that was struggling in its final outing.

Foster jumped from sixth to second, but Turner hung on to fourth to celebrate the championship. Overall, the RAF put in a better result over the season to win the team title with the Army in second and the Navy in third.
