Team JST GGUK riders Michael Brown and Dan Thorpe finished second and third respectively in close fight to win the popular Northern Experts Trial on Saturday successfully organized by the Manchester 17 MCC (full results here). Unfortunately they were both pipped for the win by Acklams Beta rider Richard Sadler. Respect to Dan Thorpe who was suffering with ‘man-flu’ and the very wet conditions on Saturday did not help.
Cloburn/JSTGASGAS rider Chris Alford had an excellent result in 4th with ex Trials rider and local MX rider Craig Robinson having a day of fun back on a Trials bike (GG) finishing 5th
Shame we didn’t have a GG winner but four in the top five is pretty good.
In other news, Michael Brown has just re-signed for his 7th year with Team JST GASGAS UK. Michael will ride the British Championship, SSDT and Scott Trials.
