Superbowl
Well maybe not as ‘Superbowl’ as what happens in the USA, but the Seymour’s Arena once again hosted a very spectacular Supertrial. On the Saturday it was the ladies who put on the show along with the youth riders. As expected Emma Bristow was in dominant form on the A route, with the determined Alice Minta also a clear winner on the B route. In the youth class it was Gus Oblein who kept a fighting Charlie Smith at bay. On the Sunday under clear blue skies once again the challenge to James Dabill came from Spain and the young talent of Spain’s Marc Riba. UK TRS importer Steve Saunders invited him over for the event, and he did not disappoint as he pushed Jack Price down to the final step of the podium by a single mark. Once again supported by an enthusiastic crowd the North Berks MCC delivered an event to be proud of, which produced some excellent trials action.
