GREAT BRITAIN
Entering the international stage in any sports discipline is always a very difficult task, and for Great Britain’s Toby Martyn on the Spanish built Vertigo it has been a case of step by step. Looking very confident in front of a very appreciative home crowd, he knew a good second lap in a low scoring event would be needed to put him on the podium and he duly delivered. Francesc Moret recorded a perfect ‘feet-up’ second lap to secure the victory as the series leader Iwan Roberts came home in third position. The Peace brothers, led by elder brother Dan who set the fastest lap in qualifying, came home in sixth and seventh position. It’s congratulations all round for the new Trial125 World Champion Lorenzo Gandola on the Scorpa, who took the win in the final round in front of Billy Green. These two riders have been a pleasure to watch as Gandola out-pointed Green with four victories to his one in Japan. Third-place finisher in the series, Fabien Poirot from France, won the other. With a full house of entries in Great Britain, home riders Duncan MacColl came home in tenth position followed by Oliver Smith in thirteenth and Charlie Smith taking the final point in fifteenth.
