BRITISH Youth trials talent made the long trek across the solent to the Isle of Wight last weekend as the Isle of Wight MCC staged the long awaited second round of the British Youth C & D Trials Championship at the challenging Knighton Sandpit venue.
A good entry made the trip across the water to theevent, but it was opening round victors Luke Walker, Dan Peace and JackPeace who dominated proceedings once again to extend their respectivechampionship leads.
Sherco-mounted Walker dropped just 12 marks totake a three mark win in C class over closest championship rival, Betastar Jack Burch, while Dec Bullock put a second Sherco on the podium inthird with a loss of 20.
Dan Peace was a level above the competition in theMedium-wheel division of the D class and scored a comfortable winaboard his Beta with a loss of 10 marks, nine clear of fellow Betarider Michael Todd who just edged out Thomas Minta for the runner-upspot on the most cleans rule.
Nine was the winning margin in the Small-wheel Dclass too, and it was another Peace doing the winning also as JackPeace reigned supreme. His 42 mark loss on the Gas Gas saw him run outa comfortable winner over TY80 mounted Aldis Blacker, while ElliottTickner claimed the final podium position.
The series continues in two weeks time as Richmond MC play host at Marrick Abbey Farm near Reeth.
