James Fry, Sherco UK: “The British Trials Championship is a very important platform to showcase the best riders in UK. The Trial GB team have a lot of work to do to run this series so if we can help make their job slightly easier at events with the use of a bike, we are very happy to provide this support.”
Barry Huskinson, ACU Trial GB Series Manager: “I am delighted to be working with James from SHERCO UK on this project. Logistically it is quite a feat to keep an event set up compact enough and still fulfil the necessary requirements for all the Trial GB events this year. So the fact SHERCO have stepped forward and will supply, prepare and transport a bike to each round has really helped mobilise our event crew for on-site activities”.
Trial GB will run over a five-round series from April to September, with hosting clubs providing a, spectator friendly, compact lap where you can witness some of the best motorcycle control on the planet, and get up close to the UK’s best riders.
Entries are still open for round 1 of the Trial GB: ACU British Motorcycle Trials Championship, presented by Talon. Competitors can enter via the ACU members portal as per previous seasons. The first event is hosted by the Bootle Scramble MCC and will take place on April 21st in Cumbria, with further details available on the series website: www.acutrialgb.org.uk
