Dixon, and fellow Eagle Emil Holm, worked together to battle their way through the field in an exciting race in Munich.

“I was working with Emil the entire way through which was pretty good, and we kind of worked our way back through so got some good points for the SLT Eagles.”

Summarising his performance, Dixon added: “I really enjoyed it – it was super tough and challenging conditions which I like to race in.

“I feel like I’ve got some good momentum going forward now and still three races to go so looking forward to it.”
