18-year-old British trials star Harry Turner will team up with Sherco UK with support from Sherco Racing Factory and in collaboration with authorised Sherco UK dealer Road and Trials for the 2024 season.
One of the UK's top prospects, Harry's move to Sherco will see him compete in the ACU British Trial GB Championship, the FIM World Trial2 Championship and other UK nationals onboard the 300cc model. 2024 will also be a special year for Harry as it will include his long-awaited SSDT debut onboard the new 125cc machine.
Road and Trials will be providing support with Harry's bikes whilst he's in the UK using their impressive new workshop facilities, whilst competition support and guidance will come from the world championship-winning pair at Sherco UK Emma Bristow and James Fry.
"Harry is such a talented rider,” says Emma. “He is still so young but rides calm and with maturity. He's highly motivated to work hard which I love, and I hope we can guide him to make 2024 his most successful yet!
“Rider development is a part of the job I am very passionate about, Harry undoubtedly has the ability and technical level, so I look forward to working with him on the mental approach to competition. I couldn't wish for a better rider to work with in 2024.”
"Harry is an exciting rider and improving all the time,” adds James. “Being part of a young rider’s journey to the top of the sport is very motivating and I'm very driven to help him reach his goals this year.
“Personally, I can't wait to see Harry showcase the new 125cc model at the SSDT. Even though he'll be on the small bike, and making his debut in this event, he will surely be a rider to look out for come that special week in May."
"I know I already love the bike having ridden with Scorpa for the last three years,” enthused Harry. “Nigel and June at Scorpa UK have been amazing and I want to thank them for everything they've done for me to reach this point in my career.
“Switching to Sherco for the new season fills me with excitement, I can't wait to get my new bike now!”
"I've spent time training with Emma and James over the last few world championship seasons while away in Europe and we've become good friends. I want to keep improving and start achieving the results I have been so close to and the team understands winning which is what I hope to learn from them.
"To have Emma and James fully behind me already feels special and I like the team they are building, the atmosphere, my teammates and of course the additional help from Tony, Kerry and the team at Road and Trials makes me feel very supported and prepared for the new season. I can't wait to get started!"
Harry now heads to Spain where he will soon collect his 2024 factory-prepared Sherco to begin his winter training.
