Reigning TrialGP champion Toni Bou (Montesa) extended his season total to sixteen consecutive race victories and his series lead to ninety points when he dominated day two of the TrialGP of Great Britain – round four of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship – while Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) completed her weekend whitewash of the TrialGP Women class with a pair of race wins, including a sensational clean lap.
  • Superstar Spaniard Toni Bou maintains his unbeaten record with double win on day two
  • Andrea Sofia Rabino posts perfect performance in TrialGP Women race two
  • Francesco Titli, Daniela Hernando and Harison Skelton complete Sunday honour roll

In Trial2 the race wins were shared between home hero Harry Turner (Sherco) and Francesco Titli (Montesa) with the Italian taking the day’s overall verdict as Spain’s Daniela Hernando (Beta) and British rider Matilda Arbon (Sherco) traded victories in Trial2 Women and there was further success for the host nation in Trial3 Junior where Harison Skelton (Scorpa) and Max Dance (Scorpa) claimed a win apiece.

A much brighter morning greeted competitors at the impressive Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey in Wales where the coastal course was lined with fans who turned out in large numbers to watch the best Trial riders on the planet in action – and for the last nineteen years there has been no better rider than Spanish superstar Bou.
Bookended by man-made hazards comprising huge piles of smooth boulders, the majority of the sections were on the jagged, grippy shoreline rocks that looked forbidding, but were taken in their stride by Bou who looked entirely at home as he repeated his Saturday double win.

The first serious test came at section four that stopped the full TrialGP field in yesterday’s opening race and not a lot had changed this time around with everyone except Matteo Grattarola (Beta) taking a maximum. The veteran Italian bent the laws of physics to escape with an incredible single mark, but by this point he had already taken five on section two so rather than hand him the lead, his heroics only brought him back into contention.

From here Bou stayed feet-up until section ten where he needed a two that almost put him within striking distance of his team-mate and compatriot Gabriel Marcelli, but not even a maximum on the final section – where only Marcelli saw the ends cards in the opening race – could prevent the thirty-nine-year-old from taking victory on thirteen.

Struggling yesterday with a fractured finger, Marcelli claimed a brave second on fifteen, four clear of Jaime Busto (Beta) with Grattarola a further five off the pace as Britain’s Harry Hemingway (Beta) slotted into fifth on thirty after winning a tie-break with Miquel Gelabert (Honda) and Jack Peace (Sherco).

After topping Super Pole to decide the starting order for the Final, Bou locked horns with Busto and Marcelli as the Spanish trio distanced themselves from the chasing pack and it was Busto who seized the initial advantage with a one on section four that once again took maximums from the rest of the field.

Tied on five with Busto heading into the Super Final stage with Marcelli on seven, Bou added just one more mark to his score on section twelve to run out winner by two marks from Busto with Marcelli third on ten before an eleven-mark gap to Hemingway in fourth who in turn was just one ahead of Gelabert on the sole electric motorcycle in the class.

“I’m super-happy to have started the championship with a lot of points,” said Bou, “and this weekend has been perfect for me and I have had the best feeling.”
Fresh from her dynamite double win yesterday, Rabino started the day in a determined mood and on a day when scores were low her opening race total of two put her four clear of reigning champion Berta Abellan (Scorpa) from Spain.

Italy’s Alessia Bacchetta improved a position on her race-one finish yesterday with third on eight with Britain’s Kaytlyn Adshead on twelve before a seven-mark gap to French rider Alycia Soyer, but following her heroics yesterday, home rider Alice Minta (Beta) slipped to seventh behind her compatriot Alicia Robinson (Beta).

Irrespective of class, a faultless performance at this level is a very rare occurrence and Rabino capped her fantastic weekend in Wales by staying clean throughout the second race to take the title fight to Abellan whose score of seven gave her second on a tie-break with the on-form Bacchetta.

“It has been a perfect weekend for me,” said Rabino. “I won yesterday and again today and it is an amazing feeling so I will keep pushing at the final round in Spain.”

Minta bounced back with fourth on eight, seven clear of fifth-placed Soyer, but the weekend belonged to Rabino who has slashed Abellan’s advantage by twelve points to just eleven with only one round remaining in the TrialGP Women series.
Winner of yesterday’s opening Trial2 race, Turner needed just one dab on section ten to stage a repeat performance as Titli fought back from seventh overall yesterday to take second on four, one clear of a tie for third that was won by Spain’s Arnau Farré from British rider George Hemingway (Beta).

Last year’s Trial3 Junior champion, America’s Ryon Land (Sherco) continued his climb up the ladder with fifth on seven after winning a tie-break with Pablo Echene (Sherco) from France.

Turner’s hopes of a third consecutive overall win were dashed in a low-scoring race two when his total of six dropped him to ninth for third overall as Titli won the race – and the day – on a score of just one that put him two clear of Britain’s Jack Dance who in turn was one ahead of a three-way tie for third won by France’s Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) from Farré and Echene.

“The feeling is very good and I am happy,” said Titli. “Today I started well with second and then won the second race. It feels good to be back on the podium.”

Super-consistent since the opening round, series leader Alex Canales (Montesa) had his worst day of the campaign with a pair of seventh-placed finishes dropping him to eighth on the day and allowing Turner to close to within two points in the championship with Farré another two off the pace.
After threatening at the opening round in Italy and again yesterday, Spain’s Daniela Hernando (Beta) finally climbed onto the top step of the Trial2 Women podium when she backed up victory in the first race with third second time out to take a narrow win from her compatriot Abril Montserrat Junque (Beta) who went two-two.

“Today was very good for me,” said Hernando. “I felt I was riding well and felt at one with the bike and it is great to take this win.”

After finishing the first race in fourth, Arbon fought back with victory in race two for third overall to leave Anglesey with a five-point title lead over Montserrat Junque.
In Trial3 Junior it was Skelton who emerged on top with his win and second-placed finish easily good enough for him to top the podium for the second time this weekend and regain the series lead by two points from his Italian rival Fabio Mazzola who ended the day fourth with three-seven finishes.

A fighting fourth in race one, Dance then won race two to claim a season-best second overall with Norwegian Patrick Bjørnland Larsen (Sherco) filling the third step of the podium with a two-six scorecard.

“This weekend has been unreal,” said Skelton. “You just can’t beat the feeling of getting two overall wins at your home round. I’m a bit disappointed to miss the win in race two, but I’m delighted for Max Dance who ride brilliantly.”

Focus now shifts to Cahors for the TrialGP of France on 29-30 August when the TrialGP, Trial2 and Trial3 Junior classes will contest one day of points-scoring action.
