'Fraid not..................more's the pity - what's Gerry riding nowadays?

The new Jordi Tarres machine was leading with his nephew yesterday, cracking advert for the bike. EDIT I'm guessing it was newcomer. Unless Dougie drops a daft 5 he's looking good.

Dougie dropped a 5 (stall) at Fersit and another single 1, so he's leading on 7

Michael Brown on 10, in 2nd and Pascuet in 3rd on 13

2 days to go and all to play for

The finale on Saturday

So...................after 6 days of competition, 176 observed sections and 500 road miles (on 70kg bikes without seats & 2 litre tanks, all with top speeds of >30mph)

The master took the spoils...........Dougie Lampkin - the ex multi world champion took a record 6th victory in this epic Trial - by the narrowest of margins, when he and 2nd place finisher, James Dabill tied on points in every way - but Lampkin took the honours because he went clean in the first 2 days of the event

Well done Dougie
