"Pic' of the Day"
Harry Turner followed up his win at the brilliant Reeth 3 Day Trial with another storming ride at the Great Brittan round of TrialGP. His Trial2 class win on the more difficult and slippery rain affected day one and 3rd on day 2 for best performance over the 2 days. That's brought him within 2 points of the 2026 title chase leader Canales Martos (Spain) on 202 to 204 points.
