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.

Toni Bou (Montesa) continued his domination of the TrialGP class of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship with a pair of convincing race victories on day one of round four – the TrialGP of Great Britain – while Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) twice defeated defending TrialGP Women champion Berta Abellan (Scorpa) on a wet and windy day at the Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey in Wales. TrialGP of Great Britain marks halfway point of 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship Toni Bou and Andrea Sofia Rabino on top in premier TrialGP and TrialGP Women classes Strong showing from home riders on day one at Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey There was success for home riders in Trial2 where Harry Turner (Sherco) and George Hemingway (Beta) shared the race victories and more in Trial3 Juniors with Harison Skelton (Scorpa) claiming a double win as Poland’s Justyna Lonycz and Britain’s Matilda Arbon took turns at the top of Trial2 Women. With the recent heatwave giving way to much less temperate conditions as the seven-round series reached the halfway point, the sections grouped around the Anglesey headland proved to be extremely technical with almost too much traction in some places on the sharp, coastline rocks and virtually none to be found in others as the day progressed. Bou, however, is the master of finding grip and with his pinpoint precision the sublime Spaniard – who has now won all thirteen races staged so far as he closes in on a twentieth consecutive crown – topped Friday’s Super Test to determine starting positions before tightening his grip on the title with a pair of commanding performances today. It was his compatriot Jaime Busto (Beta) who pushed him hardest in both races and the twenty-nine-year-old kept the pressure on in race one all the way to section eight. With the leading pair locked together on six after both needed a single dab on section two before the entire field took a maximum at section four, Bou moved into a clear lead with a clean to Busto’s two and the thirty-nine-year-old – despite further failures on nine and ten – ended the race with an eleven-mark winning margin. Roared on by the passionate crowd, Britain’s Harry Hemingway (Beta) – in his debut season in the premier class – put in an inspired performance to post a career-best third in the opening race after losing a tie-break with Busto. There was then a four-mark gap to Spain’s Gabriel Marcelli (Montesa) who fought through the pain of a fractured finger to take fourth on a tie-break from Italian veteran Matteo Grattarola (Beta) with home hero Jack Peace (Sherco) completing the top six. After getting race two under way with victory in Super Pole, Bou seized an immediate lead alongside Grattarola with a clean in the Final’s opening section before moving clear with a dab in the following hazard where Busto was the only other rider to escape without a maximum. Despite a tight schedule that saw the whole field incur time penalties, Bou kept his cool and did not pick up a single five as he maintained control into the Super Final stage and ran out winner on twelve marks lost, half the total collected by Busto who took second on a tie-break with Grattarola. “It has been an amazing start to the championship,” said Bou. “We have been working hard to get these results and I am super-happy to win on day one here at Anglesey.” Back in seventh in the opening race, Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) – riding the sole electric machine in the class – improved to fourth on a total of twenty-nine, two ahead of Peace, with Marcelli clearly in pain as he slipped to sixth on thirty-five, three ahead of a disappointed Hemingway. Since the start of the season Abellan and Rabino have gone head-to-head at the front of the TrialGP Women class and today it was the turn of the twenty-year-old Italian to claim a double win from the reigning champion. A five in the Super Test had put Rabino on the back foot at the start of the day, but she kept a cool head as she led the field away and despite single dabs on sections three and seven, a further one-mark loss on section eight tied her at the top with early leader Abellan who needed a three. Completing the race for the loss of just one more mark, Rabino claimed her fourth race win of the year when Abellan added another three to her total. Also in contention until adding five marks in the final two sections, Britain’s Alice Minta (Beta) was third on eight to give her a four-mark cushion over Italy’s Alessia Bacchetta with Czech rider Denisa Pechackova completing the top five on fourteen. Abellan held the early advantage in race two until a maximum on section seven demoted her to third behind Rabino and Minta and while she was never able to get back on level terms with her Italian rival who claimed the win on thirteen, her final total of fifteen was good enough for second after a late maximum by Minta dropped the British rider to third on nineteen. France’s Alycia Soyer improved from seventh in race one to take fourth on twenty-four, one clear of British rider Kaytlyn Adshead. Heading to his home round on the back of a double race win on the second day of last month’s TrialGP of Italy, Turner maintained his momentum to take a narrow victory in race one from Spain’s Arnau Farré (Sherco) who started the day holding second in the points. Turner was looking good for a faultless performance before losing three in the penultimate hazard, but still took the decision on a tie-break before a five-mark gap to series leader Alex Canales (Montesa) who continued his run of consistent results to lead home Italian Francesco Titli (Montesa) on nine and Hemingway on twelve. A maximum on section two in the second race proved expensive for Turner and although he fought back into contention, back-to-back fives on sections ten and eleven ended his hopes of another double win as Hemingway took the victory on twelve, six clear of early leader Jack Dance. Turner completed the all-British top three on twenty after taking a tie-break from French rider Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) with Canales’ total of twenty-three good enough for fifth to allow the Spanish twenty-one-year-old to maintain control of the class. “The conditions today were really difficult,” said Turner. “The first lap was almost too grippy and the second lap was incredibly slippery and it was hard to stay on the right lines.” After opening the campaign last time out in Italy, competitors in Trial2 Women were back in action and in the absence of Spain’s injured series leader Queralt Fontdevila (Beta) it was Lonycz who drew first blood with victory in the opening race on a score of eleven, one clear of a tie-break for second won by Spain’s Abril Montserrat Junque (Beta) from Wilde Moi (Beta) from Norway with Arbon fourth on fifteen. A narrow victory in race two on a score of sixteen, one clear of Spain’s Daniela Hernando (Beta), was enough to move Arbon into a slim series lead, but Lonycz’s third-placed finish on twenty saw the rising Polish star end the day on the top step of the podium. “The first race was perfect for me,” said Lonycz, “and while the second race was not quite as good I am still really happy and I am hoping for another win tomorrow.” This season’s battle for supremacy in Trial3 Junior has been fierce with Italy’s Fabio Mazzola leading the way from Skelton, Spain’s Oriol Garcia Campano (Sherco) and Marco Laure (Beta) from Germany and on home ground it was Skelton who took control. On a low-scoring day when the smallest mistake was punished, Skelton won race one on a tie-break with Mazzola after the pair finished on two marks each with Garcia Campano third on five. The British teenager then kept his cool through a tense second race to win on six with Mazzola second on ten, seven ahead of Laure. “It feels really good to be back in the top spot again,” said Skelton. “The sections were incredible, but super-slippery and in places it was really hard to keep my feet up.” With much better weather forecast for tomorrow, Sunday’s action at Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey will get under way at 09:00 (local time).

The 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship will pass the halfway mark this coming weekend (24-26 July) when round four – the TrialGP of Great Britain – is staged at the exciting Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey, an impressive purpose-built motorsport facility making its debut on the series’ calendar.

• TrialGP of Great Britain all set for exciting Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey debut
• All five classes under the spotlight for the second time this season
• Toni Bou and Berta Abellan lead premier TrialGP and TrialGP Women classes

For the second and final time this season, all five classes will come together with the elite riders of TrialGP and TrialGP Women joined by Trial2, Trial2 Women and Trial3 Junior competitors in Wales for the event, ensuring an action-packed schedule.

Across the three rounds and six full days of action staged so far this season, defending TrialGP champion Toni Bou (Montesa) has remained unbeaten as he chases an incredible twentieth consecutive title and the Spaniard now leads his compatriot and team-mate Gabriel Marcelli by a commanding sixty-six points.

Lying just nine points behind Marcelli, Italy’s Matteo Grattarola (Beta) has enjoyed a solid start to the season with a string of good results including two podium finishes that have put him on course for a TrialGP career-best finish of third, although Jaime Busto (Beta) will be determined to climb the leaderboard in the second half of the season.

Currently sitting fourth, a single point behind Grattarola, the twenty-eight-year-old Spaniard switched teams at the start of the season and although he has been incredibly consistent on his new machine with five podium finishes from a possible six, a poor second day in Andorra when he finished sixth has proved to be costly.

Behind Busto the opposition is building with Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) continuing to post impressive results on the only electric machine in the class, but it is the riders currently sixth and seventh – Britain’s Jack Peace (Sherco) and Harry Hemingway (Beta) – who will be looking to make full use of the strong home support for extra inspiration.

After winning both days at the opening round in Japan before stuttering in Andorra, TrialGP Women defending champion Berta Abellan (Scorpa) from Spain regrouped last time out in Italy where a double victory saw her extend her championship advantage over main rival Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) from Italy. Rabino’s double win at round two in Andorra allowed her to close on the series lead before Abellan struck back at Camerino towards the end of last month to extend her advantage to twenty-three points, although fans can expect this battle to continue all the way to the final round in Spain in September. Already fifty-five points adrift of Rabino, the Czech Republic’s Denisa Pechackova will not have given up on a higher step on the podium, but if she wants to retain her bronze medal from 2025 she faces a fierce fight with Italian Alessia Bacchetta who is only three points behind. A disappointing seventh on the opening day of her home round, Bacchetta bounced back with a third on day two, but after scoring a pair of second places in Japan she knows the level she can achieve and will be keen to rediscover that sort of form. Another class with a strong home contingent, the British effort in TrialGP Women is currently led by fifth-placed Alice Minta (Beta) and Kaytlyn Adshead in seventh, with French prospect Alycia Soyer sandwiched between the pair. Trial2 is always a hard-fought class and this season is no different with four different winners from the six days of points-scoring action held so far. Setting the pace at the front as he has from the opening day in Japan when he claimed his so far only win of the season, consistency has been key for Spain’s Alex Canales (Montesa) who leads by fourteen from his fellow countryman Arnau Farré (Sherco) with Britain’s George Hemingway (Beta) only a further five points adrift. Winner on day two in Italy, Britain’s Harry Turner (Sherco) has climbed to fourth in the standings and will be aiming to carry this momentum into his home round while his compatriot and former champion Billy Green (Scorpa) will also be targeting podium finishes as he attempts to overtake Italy’s Francesco Titli (Montesa) and keep Frenchman Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) behind him. After missing the opening round, twenty-nine-year-old Bincaz has taken two overalls and twice finished second and must be considered a contender for victory at Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey and do not discount Britain’s Jack Dance who has two podium finishes to his name this season. The competition for Trial2 Women got under way in Italy where Spain’s Queralt Fontdevila (Beta) claimed the overall on both days, despite not winning a race. Instead, the race victories went to Britain’s Matilda Arbon (Sherco) – who claimed one on each day – along with Spain’s Abril Montserrat Junque (Beta) and Poland’s Justyna Lonycz. This gives Fontdevila – who was a consistent second in all four races – a five-point lead over Arbon with Montserrat Junque just a further three behind before a six-point gap to fourth where Lonycz is tied with Spain’s Daniela Hernando (Beta). However, Fontdevila is injured and will not compete this weekend which leaves the door open for another rider to take control. Following their two opening events in Andorra and Italy, riders in the Trial3 Junior class also reach the halfway point in their abbreviated five-round series with Italy’s Fabio Mazzola setting the pace with three days wins from a possible four giving him a seventeen-point lead over last season’s silver medallist Harison Skelton (Scorpa) from Great Britain. Skelton claimed victory on day two in Andorra to briefly take the series lead, but a pair of third-placed finishes in Italy have handed Mazzola valuable breathing room and allowed Spain’s Oriol Garcia Campano (Sherco) and Marco Laure (Beta) from Germany to close. Running alongside the points-scoring action, the three-day Moto Fest – billed as the ‘ultimate motorcycle festival’ – offers visitors a packed programme with the entertainment, that includes Enduro and Trial riding zones as well as a hardstanding Expo Village, starting at noon on Friday and running through until late on Sunday afternoon. The action from Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey begins on Friday (24 July) with the Super Test for all classes scheduled for 17:00 (local time) before the opening race of the weekend gets under way the following day at 09:00 (local time).

The class structure of the Hertz FIM Trial World Championship is not there simply to split the entry up in terms of age, skill and engine capacity, it is a carefully considered career ladder designed to ensure progression through the ranks from Trial3 Junior to Trial2 and then up to the elite TrialGP category.

A rider who knows this better than most is twenty-year-old Harry Hemingway (Beta). The talented British star was Trial3 Junior champion in 2022 and Trial2 champion last year before graduating to the premier class this season. While he has had his fair share of ups and downs so far this year, he is proof that with the right skills – and enough motivation to put in the necessary hard work – an ambitious rider can progress to the sport’s top flight.

Hemingway is following a path already taken by Jaime Busto and Jack Peace and while his current position of seventh does not tell the full story in a class where just one lapse in concentration can be the difference between a podium finish and propping up the field, he feels the intensity of competition in Trial3 Junior and Trial2 has equipped him well for his first season as an elite rider.

“Trial2 is just as tight, if not tighter,” he said, “and this year just two or three marks can cost you five or six places, but that seems to be the case across the board in all classes, it’s just that in TrialGP with the sections being harder you have to be on form a little bit more.

“Trial2 has massively prepared me for TrialGP and Trial3 prepared me for Trial2 so it’s a class structure and career ladder that is really working. It’s a perfect step up between each class. The biggest difference for me was going from a 125cc bike in Trial3 up to the harder sections in Trial2 on a big bike, but it was still a reasonable step. It’s been just as reasonable moving from Trial2 to TrialGP, just the sections get a little bit longer with a few extra steps so it’s definitely not a ridiculous step up.”

A new framework introduced this year aimed at easing the transition between the sport’s elite levels has seen the top two men’s categories sharing fifty per cent of the sections and Hemingway feels that it has made his progression smoother. “Now there are six sections shared between TrialGP and Trial2 so, to be honest, the step up hasn’t been massive. At the start of the year I was not doing great, but I had a few good results – in Japan I had a fourth in a race – and after that I’ve just made a couple of mistakes to miss out on podium positions so it’s not been a disaster. “Hopefully I’ll be aiming for podium positions for the rest of the season. I haven’t been a million miles off so podiums are definitely within reach so I just want to see how high up I can get and keep trying to push Toni Bou off the top if I can, although it’s pretty difficult at the moment. “It does feel great to be in TrialGP. Since being a kid and going to watch world rounds, my goal has always been to be in TrialGP so for the first round in Japan, being able to pick my own two-digit number with the red background was a big thing for me. It felt like it was the right time.” With the next round – the TrialGP of Great Britain on 24-26 July – handing him valuable home advantage, Hemingway’s trademark smile remains as broad as ever. “I’m happy. Just to get into the TrialGP category is mega and to be mixing it up and pushing for podiums is a great feeling. I just need to pull it together and make it work, but I’m enjoying life and loving it.” Round four of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship – the TrialGP of Great Britain – takes place at the Trac Mon Circuit Anglesey on 24-26 July.

Entries are now open for the 2026 FIM Trial des Nations (TdN) that this year will be held over the weekend of 26-27 September at Arteixo in the Galicia region of north-western Spain. An annual competition to determine the world’s leading Trial nation, the TdN was first staged in Poland in 1984 when a French team – that comprised current FIM Trial Commission Director Thierry Michaud and his brother Fred along with Philippe Berlatier and Gilles Burgat – claimed an historic inaugural victory. Since 2000 the event has featured separate classes for premier male and female teams. A second-tier FIM International Trophy was introduced in 1995 and the FIM Challenge des Nations – for mixed-gender, two-rider teams – made its debut in 2022. Apart from an enforced break in the competition in 2020 because of the pandemic, the premier male competition has been won every year since 2004 by Spain. Last year at Tolmezzo in Italy a team from the United States of America won the FIM International Trophy for the third time and victory in the FIM Challenge des Nations went to a Norwegian pairing for the second time. National Federations that registered teams last year can access their existing accounts by logging on with their credentials at www.trialgp-registration.com. The deadline for TdN team entries is sixty days prior to the event although entries will still be accepted up to thirty days before, but they will be liable for a late-entry administration fee. Once entered, National Federations have until thirty days before the event to name team riders. For further information and assistance email entries@trialgp.com.

Defending champions Toni Bou (Montesa) and Berta Abellan (Scorpa) dominated the premier TrialGP and TrialGP Women classes on day two of the TrialGP of Italy – round three of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship – at Camerino as Harry Turner (Sherco) swept the board in Trial2, Fabio Mazzola tightened his grip on Trial3 Junior and consistency paid off for Queralt Fontdevila (Beta) in Trial2 Women.

Defending champions Toni Bou and Berta Abellan on top again in TrialGP and TrialGP Women Harry Turner takes career-first Trial2 win with a dynamite double at Camerino Fabio Mazzola and Queralt Fontdevila extend their Trial3 Junior and Trial2 Women leads On another hot day in the central-eastern region of Italy, brilliant Bou stretched his win-streak to twelve consecutive race victories as he found grip that eluded his rivals on the near vertical climbs over loose shale that offered similar traction to riding on marbles, allowing the thirty-nine-year-old Spaniard to extend his lead at the top of the standings.

Neck-and-neck with his compatriot Jamie Busto (Beta) through the opening five sections of race one, the decisive moment came on section six where Bou took a dab and Busto incurred a maximum. With vital breathing room, Bou completed the race adding just a maximum on the technical climb at the end of section ten as Busto hung on for second on fifteen. Mounted on the sole electric motorcycle in the class, Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) matched his third-placed finish in Saturday’s opening race on nineteen with British rider Jack Peace (Sherco) recovering from a disappointing performance yesterday to take fourth on twenty-five, six clear of home hero Matteo Grattarola (Beta). After topping Super Pole to guarantee a start at the back of the field, Bou watched Busto sail up the super-steep climb and double step of the opening section for clean before needing a single dab – as did Marcelli and Grattarola – but the scores were even after section two where Busto lost a mark. Bou collected a maximum on section four along with Busto and Grattarola, but after France’s Hugo Dufrese (Beta) had posted the hazard’s lowest race-two score of two, Marcelli made it to the end with a three to take a slim lead into the Super Final, despite losing a single mark to Bou’s clean on section five. Grattarola ended the Final in third on seven with Harry Hemingway (Beta) on nine and Dufrese and Gelabert on ten, but a maximum on section seven dropped Busto out of contention and fives in the first three sections of the Super Final saw the twenty-eight-year-old slip to seventh at the end on a total of twenty-seven. A clean to Marcelli’s dab on section eight – where a double step near the end provided the main test – put Bou back on level terms and, as his rivals struggled in the remaining four sections, the nineteen-time champion added just a further two on section seven to cruise clear with a total of eight. “It’s been a super weekend for us with a lot of points for the championship,” said Bou. “I was feeling very good in both races and had a little mistake in race two, but after that I was fighting until the end.” A pair of maximums in the concluding two sections put Marcelli’s score up to nineteen, but he was still three clear of Dufrese who impressed in a fighting third with Grattarola one mark adrift in fourth as Peace’s cool clean on the final section earned him fifth on twenty-five, one ahead of Gelabert.

After sweeping both races yesterday, Abellan gifted her main title rival and home rider Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) an early advantage in race one when she needed a dab on the relatively straightforward opening section, but the Spaniard did not lose another mark until a single on section eight made things all-square between the two pace-setters. Section nine proved to be pivotal with Abellan taking a three to Rabino’s five and the defending champion needed just a final dab on section twelve to finish on six and run out winner by three marks as Denisa Pechackova from the Czech Republic took third on fourteen, four clear of Britain’s Kaytlyn Adshead and five ahead of Italian Alessia Bacchetta. Abellan and Rabino then led the field in race two and were tied on one apiece heading into section eight where the Italian lost ground with a dab. After scoring a two on the following hazard where Rabino needed three, Abellan then put the seal on another victory with a single mark in the final section taking her total to four. “I am very happy with how this weekend has worked out,” said Abellan. “It wasn’t easy because Rabino was riding so well, but we will keep focused and continue to work hard.” Rabino was a clear second on eight, although she was only four ahead of her compatriot Bacchetta who in turn was just one clear of Britain’s Alice Minta (Beta) with Pechackova rounding out the top five on twenty.

The fight for dominance in Trial2 has raged since the opening round in Japan and twenty-year-old Turner burst into title contention with a pair of impressive race victories that saw him become the sixth different race winner this season. Holding his nerve in a tense opening race, Turner lost only four marks to take the win by one from championship leader Alex Canales (Montesa) from Spain with France’s Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) – who has won three of the eight races he has contested this year – third on nine, two ahead of a tie for fourth that was won by Britain’s George Hemingway (Beta) from his compatriot Jack Dance. With momentum behind him, Turner secured a career-first overall victory at this level when he signed off with a miserly total of three marks lost to lead home race two by eight chased by Hemingway. Bincaz lost twelve to claim another third position before Spain’s Arnau Farré (Sherco) – who was sixth in race one – took fourth on a tie-break with former champion Billy Green (Scorpa) on thirteen. “It felt amazing today,” said Turner. “It’s not only my first-ever win in Trial2, it’s my first-ever podium so I’m very, very happy.” Despite ending race two in a lowly eleventh on twenty-two, Canales retains the championship lead, but his title rivals – led by Farré, Hemingway and Turner – have closed.

Leader of the Trial3 Junior class after the opening day of competition in Andorra before Britain’s Harison Skelton (Scorpa) moved to the top on day two, Mazzola was the star of the class yesterday when he regained the points advantage with a double win and the Italian made full use of home advantage today with one-two race finishes to extend the gap at the top of the table. “I am very happy to take another win in front of my home fans,” said Mazzola. “It is incredible for me.” Skelton finished the opening race just one adrift in second and six clear of third-placed Spaniard Angel Llopis Tarrega (Sherco) to limit the damage, but he lost further ground with fourth in race two behind Italian Edio Poncia (Beta) as Mazzola finished second to Spain’s Oriol Garcia Campano (Sherco) by a single mark.

Running two-two yesterday to assume an early series lead, Spain’s Queralt Fontdevila (Beta) replicated these finishes today as her consistency earned her an increased advantage at the top of the table. “Today has been very good for me,” said Fontdevila. “I made a few mistakes, but I was able to recover.” Matilda Arbon (Sherco) repeated her victory in Saturday’s opening race with Abril Montserrat Junque (Beta) from Spain slotting into third, but a sixth in race two proved to be expensive for the British rider as Justyna Lonycz from the Czech Republic claimed her first victory of the season with Montserrat Junque third.

Tightening his grip on the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship, Toni Bou (Montesa) extended his unbeaten streak to ten races in a row when he dominated the TrialGP class on day one of round three – the TrialGP of Italy – as his fellow Spaniard Berta Abellan (Scorpa) reasserted her control in TrialGP Women.

• Toni Bou maintains his win-streak on day one of TrialGP of Italy
• Defending champion Berta Abellan in control of TrialGP Women
• Benoit Bincaz wins Trial2 as Fabio Mazzola tops Trial3 Junior and Queralt Fontdevila draws first blood in Trial2 Women

On another unpredictable day in Trial2, France’s Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) and British teenager George Hemingway (Beta) shared the race wins while Italian Fabio Mazzola doubled up in Trial3 Junior and Britain’s Matilda Arbon (Sherco) and Abril Montserrat Junque (Beta) from Spain claimed a win apiece as competition in the Trial2 Women class got under way.

Returning to Camerino for the first time since 1992, soaring temperatures and a series of super-steep sections on loose, almost gripless terrain resulted in a high-scoring day for the elite TrialGP class where even defending champion Bou – who has won the title every season since 2007 – was at times unable to get his rear tyre to bite.

Much to the delight of the large crowd, Bou’s main challenger in both races was Italian hero Matteo Grattarola (Beta) who, urged on by his passionate home fans, recorded a pair of second-placed finishes and in the second race came within just a few marks of handing the Spanish legend his first defeat of the season.

Starting at the back of the field after topping Friday’s Super Test, Bou had the advantage of watching his rivals through the sections in race one and the thirty-nine-year-old quickly took an early lead and was on just a single mark until he picked up maximum on section six, set in a steep-sided gully where loose bankings and a testing, technical climb ensured traction was in short supply.

Despite collecting another maximum on section twelve, Bou’s total of sixteen gave him the win in race one by eleven clear marks from Grattarola who held his nerve to claim second by two marks from Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) who clearly found the testing terrain to his liking on the sole electric machine in the field.

Holding third in the standings at the start of the day, Spain’s Jaime Busto (Beta) took fourth on thirty-one before a seven-mark gap to Italian rider Luca Petrella (Beta) with Gabriel Marcelli (Montesa) winning a three-way tie-break for sixth on forty.

Bou then topped Super Pole to start the Final at the back of the field and took an early lead from Busto before Grattarola drew level with an incredible single dab on section six – that took another five from Bou – before pulling clear with cleans on the next two sections where Bou added a further six to his score.

With the Super Final in full swing, both then recorded maximums on section nine before Bou signed off with one-clean-one on the final three hazards – where Grattarola added another twelve – to finish on twenty on observation plus two time penalties to win by just two. Busto improved to third on thirty-one, one mark ahead of a tie for fourth that was won by Marcelli from his compatriot Gelabert.

“It has been a good start to the weekend for me,” said Bou. “In the first race I felt super-good and I felt good in the second race as well, but Matteo was riding amazing and I fought with him to the very end.”

Last time out in Andorra, defending TrialGP Women champion Abellan was defeated on both days by Italy’s Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta), but today she took the fight to her rival and emerged a clear winner of both races after finishing the Super Test in second behind another Italian, Alessia Bacchetta.

A dab on section eight followed by a five on section nine, that took maximums from the entire field, were her only losses in race one as she ran out a comfortable winner by thirteen from Rabino. Britain’s Kaytlyn Adshead was third on twenty-five, three clear of her compatriot Alice Minta (Beta) and four ahead of the Czech Republic’s Denisa Pechackova.

Race two was much closer, but the twenty-six-year-old’s score of seven was half that of twenty-year-old Rabino’s with Minta a further ten adrift in third as Pechackova won a tie-break for fourth on twenty-six from French rider Alycia Soyer.

“Today I am very happy with the win,” said Abellan. “I was riding well and really enjoying myself, but now I need to do it all again tomorrow.”

After missing the opening round in Japan, Bincaz took the overall on day two in Andorra and the twenty-nine-year-old once again put his electric machine on the top step of the podium after winning the first race and finishing fifth in race two.

Bincaz’s score of fourteen in race one gave him a four-mark advantage ahead of a three-way tie for second that was won by series leader Alex Canales (Montesa) from Spain ahead of Britain’s Billy Green (Scorpa) and Italian Francesco Titli (Montesa).

Despite slipping to fifth in race two on a total of thirteen, Bincaz did enough to secure the day’s overall decision ahead of Canales who was fourth on eleven as George Hemingway (Beta), who was seventh in race one, secured the third step on the podium with a fantastic second-race total of four giving him the win from fellow British rider Harry Turner (Sherco) by two marks with Spain’s Arnau Farré (Sherco) third on eight.

“I’m super-happy with this victory,” said Bincaz. “Today has been very tricky and I had to fight hard the whole day, but finally I did it again.”

Back in action after opening their accounts in Andorra, competitors in Trial3 Junior took the testing conditions in their stride and it was Fabio Mazzola – winner of the opening day in the Pyrenees – who made full advantage of his home round to win both races and regain the lead in the championship.

On top of the standings at the start of the day, Britain’s Harison Skelton (Scorpa) finished race one eight marks behind Mazzola in second on thirteen with Germany’s Marco Laure (Beta) third on fifteen. However, while Mazzola took command of race two to win on six, five clear of Laure and eight ahead of his compatriot Edio Poncia (Beta), Skelton slipped to twelfth on a total of twenty-three that has dropped him to third in the standings behind Laure.

“I’m very, very happy with this win in Italy,” said Mazzola. “I ride two good races and I want to thank all the fans for their fantastic support.”

After finishing fifth in Trial2 Women last season, Arbon got her 2026 campaign off to a flying start with her race one total of ten giving her a seven-mark cushion over Spain’s Queralt Fontdevila (Beta) with Daniela Hernando (Beta) third on nineteen after winning a three-way tie with Norwegian Wilde Moi (Beta) and Justyna Lonycz from the Czech Republic.

Bouncing back from her sixth-placed finish, Montserrat Junque won race two on nine – two clear of Fontdevila who claimed the day’s overall victory – with Hernando taking another third-placed finish on a tie-break, this time from Arbon, on a total of fourteen.

“Today has been very nice and I am very happy to finish first,” said Fontdevila. “I am hoping to do the same tomorrow.”

Focus now shifts to tomorrow’s concluding day at Camerino with the first competitor scheduled to get the action under way at 08:00 (local time).

Toni Bou (Montesa) continued his mission to rewrite the record books on day two of the TrialGP of Andorra – round two of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship – when he parted with just one mark over both TrialGP races and Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) claimed a career-best double victory in TrialGP Women, but the wins were once again split in Trial2 and Trial3 Junior where the front-runners continued to search for consistency across both races.

Defending TrialGP champion Toni Bou loses just one mark to dominate on day two Andrea Sofia Rabino closes on TrialGP Women championship lead with back-to-back wins Benoit Bincaz and Harison Skelton in command in Trial2 and Trial3 Junior Now unbeaten following the opening two rounds and four days of points-scoring competition, Bou is chasing an unparalleled twentieth consecutive crown and on today’s form he is going to be a tough man to beat after he piled the pressure on his rivals. On another dry and warm day at Sant Julià de Lòria, high in the Pyrenees, the sections were still dry and grippy after yesterday’s event and the thirty-nine-year-old Spaniard lost just one mark as he underlined his dominance to win the opening race by fifteen clear marks. As was the case yesterday, his closest challenger was Gabriel Marcelli (Montesa) and Britain’s Jack Peace (Sherco), in just his second season in the class, also demonstrated his undeniable potential in third on eighteen. A solid sixth overall on Saturday, Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) brought his electric machine home in fourth a further two marks adrift with his compatriot Jaime Busto (Beta) never quite finding his flow on the rock-strewn, super-steep mountainside sections as he finished fifth on twenty-two. Following a dramatic Super Pole section to determine starting order for the six-section Final that saw Bou third after Busto and Marcelli had tied for the win on an identical time, the world’s best riders were challenged by a technical, rocky climb to exit the opening section that drew maximums from everyone apart from Peace who manhandled his machine through for a three before Bou did the seemingly impossible with a gravity-defying clean. Having thrown down the gauntlet to his rivals, Bou then recorded another five cleans to complete his domination of the Final before, with the scores carried across, he produced a string of four faultless rides to stay unpenalised through the Super Final to seal another famous win. “Today has been better than I expected,” said Bou. “There is a lot of pressure for me in Andorra and one point in the first race and zero points in the second is amazing so I am super-happy.” Behind Bou the battle for the remaining podium positions was fierce with Marcelli neck-and-neck with Grattarola after the Final before the twenty-six-year-old Spaniard pulled six clear of the thirty-eight-year-old Italian in the Super Final to finish second on seventeen. Gelabert took fourth on a tie-break from Peace – whose fifth place was good enough for a career-first overall podium – after the pair finished locked together on thirty, seven ahead of French rider Hugo Dufrese (Beta) and ten in front of a disappointed Busto. Starting the weekend sitting third in the TrialGP Women’s standings, Rabino will head home to Italy holding a strong second behind defending champion Berta Abellan (Scorpa) after winning both today’s races to slash the deficit from seventeen points to eleven. The twenty-year-old took early control of race one with three cleans in the first three sections and maintained her momentum to finish on a total of ten, seven ahead of her Spanish rival who was left with no way back after incurring a five on section nine. French rider Alycia Soyer won a tie-break for third with Britain’s Alice Minta (Beta) on twenty, two clear of Denisa Pechackova from the Czech Republic with Italy’s Alessia Bacchetta – who was holding second following the opening round – sixth on twenty-five. Resuming their battle in race two, Abellan lost seven marks in the first two sections where Rabino stayed clean, but the twenty-six-year-old fought back and her final score of fifteen was only two marks adrift of the Italian who sealed her victory with an ice-cool clean on the final section. Pechackova was third on nineteen, one clear of Soyer who took fourth on a tie-break with Minta to secure third overall on the day. “It has been a great weekend for me,” said Rabino. “I’m very happy to win both races today and my feeling with the bike was very good. It’s my home round next and I’m looking forward to it.” Trial2 has established a reputation as a class where the unexpected should be expected and the day started with Spain’s Gerard Trueba (Beta) becoming the fifth race winner of the season with just a single mark lost over the twelve hazards leaving him three clear of a two-way tie for second that was won by Italian Francesco Titli (Montesa) from his Spanish title rival Arnau Farré (Sherco). Series leader at the start of the day, Spain’s Alex Canales (Montesa) maintained his advantage at the top of the table with fourth on a score of five that put him one ahead of Britain’s Jack Dance. Ending the first race in seventh, French rider Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) – who missed last month’s opening round – bounced back in race two to put his electric machine on top for the second time this weekend after winning a tie-break with Dance on a score of nine, a finish that also secured the day’s overall. So close is this class that only three marks covered the top five finishers with Britain’s Billy Green (Scorpa) – who dropped to ninth in today’s first race after claiming a race win yesterday along with the day’s overall – winning a tie-break for third from Farré on eleven with Canales fifth one mark further back. “I’m really, really happy to take the win today,” said Bincaz. “The sections were very tricky and it was difficult to fight all day, but finally I did it.” Consistency is vital for any title challenge and Britain’s Harison Skelton (Scorpa) delivered today in Trial3 Junior after finishing second yesterday behind Italian Fabio Mazzola to move into the series lead following the opening round of the abbreviated class schedule. Winner of the first race on a score of two that put him three ahead of Marco Laure (Beta) from Germany – who won yesterday’s second race – and eight in front of Spain’s Oriol Garcia Campano (Sherco), Skelton then parted with nine in race two to follow home Garcia Campano who dropped seven, enough to earn the young British rider the top step of the day’s podium and a six-point series lead. “I felt a lot better today,” said Skelton. “Right from the start I concentrated hard and felt at one with the bike so in the sections I was strong and managed to do what I needed to for the win.” Following his overall win yesterday, Mazzola recorded six-four finishes that dropped him to fourth in the title chase, although he is only nine points off the lead and remains firmly in the hunt. With little time to regroup, the world’s best Trial riders now head to round three – the TrialGP of Italy – at Camerino this coming weekend (19-21 June) where along with TrialGP, TrialGP Women, Trial2 and Trial3 Junior classes, the Trial2 Women will join the action for the first time this year.

Superstar Spaniard Toni Bou (Montesa) stamped his authority on day one of the TrialGP of Andorra – round two of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship – with a pair of commanding race performances in the premier TrialGP class as Italy’s Andrea Sofia Rabino (Beta) took the overall in TrialGP Women after trading wins and second places with defending champion Berta Abellan (Scorpa) from Spain on a warm, bright day in Sant Julià de Lòria in the Pyrenees.

• Toni Bou in control in TrialGP with double race win on day one
• Andrea Sofia Rabino takes TrialGP Women decision on a tie-break
• Billy Green and Fabio Mazzola on top in Trial2 and Trial3 Junior

In Trial2 a lack of consistency among the front runners resulted in an extremely close-fought competition and race wins for Britain’s Billy Green (Scorpa) and Benoit Bincaz (Electric Motion) from France while Italian Fabio Mazzola and Germany’s Marco Laure (Beta) each claimed a race victory as competition got under way in the Trial3 Junior class.

The action started on Friday with the timed Super Test that was contested by all classes to determine starting order for the following day’s opening races with Bou and Rabino both victorious, while Britain’s Harry Turner (Sherco) topped Trial2 as his fellow countryman Harison Skelton (Scorpa) drew first blood in Trial3 Junior.

As well as a technical course with the majority of sections plotted on the steep, wooded mountainside where giant rocks tested riders’ skills and resolve, altitude also came into play. With the highest point of the course over sixteen-hundred metres above sea level, the thin air made bike set-up and rider fitness critical and, as fans have come to expect over the last nineteen years, when the going got tough it was Bou who got going.

Bidding for an incredible twentieth consecutive title, the thirty-nine-year-old – unbeaten at last month’s opening round – hardly put a wheel wrong in the day’s first race, underlining his dominance with a miserly total of just five marks to win by fifteen from his team-mate and compatriot Gabriel Marcelli with Matteo Grattarola (Beta) from Italy taking third on a tie-break from British rider Jack Peace (Sherco) after both finished on twenty-five.

A further three marks adrift, Spain’s Jaime Busto (Beta) – second in the standings following the TrialGP of Japan – was fifth, just one clear of British class newcomer Harry Hemingway (Beta).

Starting positions for the five-section Final were then determined by Super Pole where Marcelli emerged on top from Busto and Grattarola after Bou slipped to seventh with an untidy three that forced him to start as third rider away. However, this did not appear to bother the record-breaking champion who carded an amazing clean on the opening hazard, a performance matched only by Marcelli as the rest of the field took maximums on a steep climb over a series of imposing rocks.

Demonstrating his mastery of conditions in the Pyrenean principality he now calls home, Bou completed the Final unpenalised with his strongest opposition coming from Marcelli who finished on a total of seven that put him nine clear of Busto and eleven ahead of Spain’s Miquel Gelabert (Honda) as Hemingway became the only other rider not to incur a run of five maximums.

With the scores from the Final now carried across to the four-section Super Final contested by the full TrialGP entry, Bou made sure of his second victory of the day when he parted with just one mark on observation that gave him a total of three once two time penalties had been applied.

“I’m super-happy to race here at my home,” said Bou. “This result has been amazing for my confidence – I was riding very well today – and I’m super-happy to take the win on the first day.”

Marcelli added another two on observation plus two on time for a final total of eleven with Busto taking a distant third on thirty-two. Gelabert, riding the sole electric machine in the class, was another two in arrears with Hemingway completing the top five on thirty-five.

A double winner in TrialGP Women in Japan, defending champion Abellan maintained her series lead after trading wins and second-placed finishes with Rabino, but it was the Italian who took the day’s overall verdict on a tie-break thanks to her better finish in race two.

Starting on the back foot with a maximum on the opening hazard that was cleaned by Rabino, French rider Alycia Soyer and Denisa Pechackova from the Czech Republic, Abellan quickly regrouped and showed her class by adding only ten more marks to her total to win by seven from Rabino, who won a tie-break with Soyer. Pechackova came home fourth on thirty-three – three ahead of Britain’s Kaytlyn Adshead – as Italy’s Alessia Bacchetta, who started the day second in the standings, slipped to a costly eighth.

A clean on the opening section of race two gave Rabino an early lead she refused to surrender and with Abellan unable to close the gap following a maximum on section five, the twenty-year-old Italian pulled clear to win the race on eleven – eight ahead of Abellan – and clinch the day’s overall decision.

“I’m very happy for today,” said Rabino. “The first race was not so good, but I’m much happier with my performance in race two and the points are very important for the championship.”

Soyer ended the race in third on twenty-five, five clear of Britain’s Alice Minta (Beta), with Pechackova fifth on thirty-two, one position and two marks ahead of Bacchetta.

The overall winner of Trial2 on day two in Japan, Green – the 2023 champion – maintained his momentum when he took victory in the opening race on a score of five that put him two clear of his fellow British title contender George Hemingway (Beta) and three ahead of Spain’s Gerard Trueba (Beta). Leading the series following the opening round, Spanish rider Alex Canales (Montesa) was a solid fourth on ten, three clear of compatriot Arnau Farré (Sherco).

In a low-scoring race two it was Bincaz – who was seventh in the opener – who took the win on a score of five to claim victory by two from Italian Francesco Titli (Montesa) with Canales maintaining his series lead in third on a total of eight.

Following home Farré and Trueba in sixth was good enough for Green to secure the day’s overall and jump from fifth to second in the points.

“I’m very happy to carry on where I left off in Japan,” said Green. “I felt like I was riding really well in the first race and the second race was good enough for the overall.”

With an abbreviated championship calendar, the rising stars of Trial3 Junior got their campaigns under way in Andorra where Mazzola won the opening race with his score of five putting him two ahead of Skelton – last season’s runner-up – and twelve clear of Patrick Bjørnland Larsen (Scorpa) from Norway. Back in ninth in race one, Laure turned his day around with a cool-headed performance in race two to win a tie-break on eleven from Spanish rider Oriol Garcia Campano (Sherco) with Mazzola just one adrift in third to claim the overall from Skelton who was fourth on fifteen. “This result makes me very happy,” said Mazzola. “I’ve been working very hard over the winter, but tomorrow is another day.” The action from Andorra resumes tomorrow at 08:30 (local time).
