2017 SSDT - Full report & pictures
By John Dickinson on 11th May 17
DOUGIE Lampkin won the 2017 Scottish Six Days Trial, staged as usual in Fort William, set in the shadow of Ben Nevis deep in the Highlands, to claim an amazing 11th victory, his sixth successive Premier and completing a hat-trick of wins for the Vertigo factory in the world-famous event.
And it was so close to a first ever clean ride as the 41-year-old Yorkshire legend went into the sixth and final day having not dropped a single mark through 150 sections.
But in section number 157 at Lower Mamore, Kinlochleven, a single dab was finally teased out of Doug.
Would that knock the confidence and see Doug in trouble through the day's final groups?
If you think that then you don't know Doug and after a few strong words with himself he was straight back in the zone to complete the day and the trial on just that one mark to match the well-known landmark set by Gordon Jackson on his AJS (dropped on Grey Mare's Ridge) back in 1961.
Dougie may have led all week and on zero marks for the first five days but he was always under intense pressure from a chasing bunch with Gas Gas duo Jack Price and Michael Brown eventually taking the remaining podium places.
Pricey looked superb all week, the only rider apart from Lampkin to end the week in single figures (9), while Browny came back strongly after looking like losing touch with the leaderboard midweek.
Beta's Jack Shepherd enjoyed a very steady week and missed the podium by just a single mark after a great effort on the final day.
The trial played out in glorious sunshine, the driest full week for many years, and with little water around and less moorland work than last year, riders and machines enjoyed a relatively easy time, with only eleven official retirements from 275 starters.
One of the rides of the week was by 18-year-old Tom Minta who finished in an amazing fifth place to take the Newcomers award by 30 marks from fellow young gun Jack Peace, 17, who also showed plenty of promise.
Gas Gas UK enjoyed a really strong week with bossman John Shirt Jr dividing his time between encouraging Michael Brown and Jack Peace, as well as himself finishing second behind Doug in the Over 40s contest.
A superb effort that from Shirty Jr.
Minta was so laid-back, riding on his own and just looking at sections and then riding them like he had spent his life riding the Six Days.
Pricey was also a revelation, his throttle control and section-riding speed showing that he too is a potential future Scottish winner. As expected Sherco factory star Emma Bristow was in a class of her own in winning the Ladies contest looking particularly strong in the harder sections and showing great skill and confidence.
The British and World Champ will be disappointed, though, at dropping to 40th overall on Saturday, when she had her worst daily score after looking like a finish in the low 30s.
Best foreign rider was Jordi Pasquet on yet another Gas Gas, the popular 37-year-old having pushed Dougie hard earlier in the week but dropping back to sixth after a costly 10-mark loss on Thursday.
Gary Macdonald followed his earlier Scottish Pre-65 victory with seventh overall on the Scorpa and was best Scot with over 80 marks in hand over Andy Anderson.
Young Joe Dawson, riding with dad Neil, was best Scottish Newcomer.
Sam Haslam had some cracking rides, including the only clean ride on Saturday – what a way to end your week – to finish eighth, with the top 10 completed by Andy Chilton and former event winner Sam Connor.
With the unexpected sunny weather and Doug's relentless charge towards a week without losing a single mark, 2017 was certainly a year to remember for Scottish fans.
And expect Dougie back in Fort William next year in search of a round dozen victories...
MONDAY
DOUGIE Lampkin set out as he meant to go on as he pursued an amazing eleventh SSDT win by piloting the factory Vertigo through the opening day's 66 miles and 30 sections, set over 10 separate groups, without loss of marks.
But, showing what a difficult job lay ahead Doug reached the finish as just one of no fewer than five riders at the head of the field, with Jack Price on the Gas Gas, Beta's Jack Sheppard, and the Scorpa-mounted pair of Andy Chilton and top Scot Gary Macdonald.
Well-known Cumbrian Ian Abbot, a veteran of some 23 SSDT events as a rider, was the official starter and flagged away Scot Liston Bell, riding No.1, at 7.30am on Monday morning.
And with the mighty final entry of 275 riders leaving parc ferme at one per minute it was gone noon when Abbo wished the final competitor good luck. "Yes, I flagged every single one away, the last man to start is just as important as the first,” said Ian.
The 2017 Scottish Six Days started under bright blue skies which was amazingly to continue all week, much to the delight of all present.
Michael Brown, with Gas Gas UK boss John Shirt Jr riding shotgun got his nervous dab out of the way in the fourth Leanachen sub, the second group of the day, after a brand-new opening couple of subs up behind the revitalised Fort William aluminium works.
It was then off up past Spean Bridge and the track to old favourite Bradilieg for three hazards and then the week's first moorland run taking in four groups out in the wilds, before dropping down to Kinlochleven and then the loose rocks at Garbh Bheinn and the burn at Cameron Hill.
All this was leading up to the big group of the day at Lagnaha on the Oban road with spectators out in force in the afternoon sun.
As ever the real trouble was located in the second gully where the double sub 27 and 28 proved very tricky and queues built up with official delays of up to an hour.
More than a few riders were glad of the rest but others found the wait frustrating, But that's the Scottish!
Minta headed what looked like being a tasty Newcomers battle with Jack Peace who reverted to a 125cc machine for the Scottish.
Jack went clean for 22 sections before a three and a couple of dabs saw him end his first day on just five marks lost.
So, a relatively easy (only in the context of the Scottish) opening day saw no fewer than 36 riders finish on single-figure scores including leading lady Emma Bristow on a superb nine-mark total.
TUESDAY
THE second day of the 2017 event saw a variation on the new route introduced last year with the groups of sections set in a much more spectator-friendly way.
It began with a trip down the road to the Corran Ferry and the first of three sea-going trips – if only five minutes' duration each! – across the Loch Linnhe narrows and four groups of sections at Ardgour, just the other side of the ferry.
Then it was Gearradh, Carnoch and Bellsgrove before riders headed off cross-country alongside remote Loch Shiel.
On reaching the road it was almost immediately off again on a second loop which would end with groups at Loch Arkaig and Trotters Burn, an 88 mile cruise with the usual daily 30 subs to conquer.
At the beginning of the day there were five riders leading the field on zero marks. By the end of it there was just one – and inevitably it was Dougie Lampkin, who took an outright lead which he wouldn't relinquish.
His wasn't the only clean sheet for the day, though, as veteran Spanish rider Jordi Pasquet, a long-time supporter of the Six Days, showed plenty of skill to match Lampkin's mastery and Jordi's single dab dropped on Monday moved the Gas Gas man into second place overall.
On his early-start day Jack Price did well with three steadying dabs along the way to keep right in touch while just a few numbers back Michael Brown dropped five in total to slip back to seventh – although at this stage, with such
low-scoring, just dropping the odd mark moved the leaders several positions either way.
This new-look Scottish, with the sections having been set just a little bit easier, plus the unexpectedly dry conditions, saw around 20 riders getting through the 30 sections in single-figures.
That group included Sherco-mounted Richmond clubman James Stones, second-best score on the day with just a single prod, dropped in the second of five subs out on the moors at Loch Shiel.
And Barrow in Furness clubman Sam Myers enjoyed a red-letter day, with just eight marks and a move into the top 30.
Minta extended his lead in the Newcomers to an impressive 17 over Lancashire's Jack Spencer (Beta), as Jack Peace dropped 17 to add to his superb
five-mark effort on Monday on the 125 Gas Gas.
Gary Macdonald was looking a shoo-in to retain his Best Scottish rider trophy while Emma Bristow – 35 overall – was dominating the ladies. Hardly surprisingly, overall leader Dougie Lampkin headed the heavily-supported Over 40 class!
WEDNESDAY
Lampkin kept his quest for an 11th victory and a third consecutive win for Vertigo, on course with his third daily clean sheet to continue to stand alone at the head of the field, still on zero marks lost,
But again, Doug was not alone on a clean sheet for the day's 30 sections as his ride was matched by Gas Gas contenders Jack Price and Michael Brown and Beta's Jack Shepherd and Richard Sadler.
Sitting on 22 marks after two days, Richard was well pleased to show his true skill and get right back in the mix.
The third day of competition followed the relatively new and well-received route that begins traditionally enough with a run over the Mamore road to Kinlochleven, taking in four subs at Callart, then to Pap of Glencoe and on to the loose rocks at Clachaig, just south of Glencoe village.
It was then away down remote Glen Etive for a superb ride off-road which brought the field to Appin, on the coast of Loch Linnhe for several groups in the village with the day ending in the virtually dry riverbed in the forest at Beallach.
Again the sections were set very rideable – especially in the dry conditions – and the standard of riding at the head of the field remarkably high, with more than 20 riders enjoying their day to finish in single-figures through the 30 subs.
Spanish veteran Jordi Pascuet dropped just two marks on the day and continued to press Lampkin, only three marks back, the same as British teenager Jack Price, with the pair locked on three marks overall.
Suffolk's Jack Sheppard sits in fourth spot still only on a total of four, alongside teenager Tom Minta who was enjoying a mega-impressive SSDT debut.
Scotland's Gary Macdonald remained in the mix for Scorpa and sixth overall following his single-dab ride on the day.
Dropping just two for the day was resurgent veteran Jonny Starmer, having a great week riding with pal Sam Connor, to sit in an excellent 26th while Emma Bristow was on fire with a score of eight and a move into the top 30, riding with real confidence.
That was three days clean for Doug yet he could still lose the lead in a flash with one quick five – very easy to do, especially in the dry, loose rock sections which changed with each rider through with no moisture or earth to bind the rocks together.
THURSDAY
THIS was the day that could see things change as Dougie was on his early start – the starting order rotates each day to keep things as fair as possible – along with his riding pal Paul Dixon, cousin James Lampkin, who started the week wracked with a hacking cough and feeling distinctly unwell, and cousins Ben and Dan Hemingway.
Ben was riding well on the four-stroke Beta but older brother Dan was having something of a nightmare week being 10 marks down after just four sections on Monday morning.
Also on early starts were Yorkshire's Rob Waite – who always performs well at the Scottish– Sam Connor and Jonny Starmer, Doug's leading challenger Jordi Pasquet, riding quietly just a dozen or so numbers behind, plus the determined, ever-smiling British girl Jess Bown, Ulster's Andy Perry and young Scot Joe Dawson. This was quite a talented group in the 275-strong entry.
Thursday would see riders head north, picking up two subs at Leanachen, the group used early on Monday, at Nevis Range, before hitting the road for a 20-mile jaunt to take in three subs up old-favourite Laggan Locks and its rolling rockery.
Spectators then peeled left at Invergarry to take in the scenery en route to the five-sub group at Creag Lundie overlooking Loch Cluanie, while riders continued north to Fort Augustas before heading off road with groups at Meall Damh, Craig nan Gobhar and Ceannacroc Forest before being greeted by the crowds at Creag Lundie.
With little water in the sometimes raging steep riverbed the subs were probably at their most rideable, even the tricky and steep fourth sub offering every chance this year for anyone with the confidence to go for it on the bare rockbed.
It was then time for a trip over Clunes Forest to finish the day up the imposing rock face (waterfall in a wet year) at Witches Burn and then up the long, narrow sandstone of Trotters Burn and back to the start, having clocked-up over 100 miles.
Doug, of course, shrugged-off his early day like a duck sheds water and you could tell it was no cakewalk – as well as his own there was just one more clean ride for the day, ever-dependable Sam Haslam who often makes cleaning difficult sections look effortless.
Once again it was very tightly-packed behind him with Michael Brown on just a dab and Jack Price on two, matched by Sherco-riding Jonathan Richardson, who was circulating with sister Chloe.
Shepherd, Minta and Macdonald all dropped four, which was fitting as they are packed tight as sardines in the overall results at this stage, Shep and Tom on eight with GMac right behind on nine.
Others in with very tidy daily scores were TRS ace Ross Danby on six, although not really happy with his 23rd overall position and Northern centre regular Steve Dixon with a super five-mark effort to sit inside the top 30.
The various classes have seen individuals opening up ominous gaps over their rivals with Emma Bristow, Tom Minta and Gary Mac pulling away at the head of the Ladies, Newcomers and Scots fields respectively.
FRIDAY
WITH the end of the week rapidly approaching it was time for a route familiar to all previous Six Days visitors, riders, officials or spectators alike, the always eagerly-aniticipated road-based run round the Moidart peninsula.
And it was even more road-based than previously this year with a much shorter moorland section, with only the skip across to the opening group at Doire Damh to catch out the unwary after the 20-mile trip from Fort William in the continuing sunshine.
The eleven groups are mostly well-known to Scottish fans with Pipers Burn, Roshven, Glenuig and WDs before the lunch halt at Strontian.
It's then the picturesque run back to the ferry taking in Laudale, Laudale Cottage, then the time-honoured steep, loose climb at Camasnacroise, the big round rocks at Meall nam Each and Kilmalieu and finishing off with the solid red rockbed at Rubha Ruadh – which translated from the Gaelic simply means Red Rocks!
It's a spectator's dream day. If you want to follow a particular rider you can catch them literally at every group – and there was a predictable huge crocodile of vehicles snaking round the peninsula.
The phenomenon that is Dougie Lampkin rolled on to pick up yet another clean performance, five days, 150 sections and 150 cleans.
And Doug was alone with his best-on-day ride, a virtuoso performance.
But for all that, Jack Price was hanging on like a limpet, looking smooth and confident and his single dab put him just six marks adrift in a clear second place, easing one mark further ahead of his GGUK team-mate Michael Brown, these three the only contenders still in single figures for the week. Doug did have one moment, in the top sub at Kilmalieu when he hung on after crossing the Ends cards, the Vertigo pivoting back onto him and he fell awkwardly backwards, the bike trapping his left leg and tweaking his knee.
"I knew I was through the Ends but I just had to make sure,” reflected Doug as he rested for a few moments before heading off to the day's final two sections at Rubha Ruadh.
Jack Sheppard continued his consistent week although his daily five marks just slid Shep further away from Browny and that third place, just three ahead of Pascuet who refused to be shaken off.
There was a great three-dab daily ride from Scorpa-mounted Whitby lad Andy Chilton, who has threatened the leaderboard all week and was sitting in eighth after five days.
It was Sam Haslam's early-start day and Hazza suffered a 10-mark loss which dropped him from a potential podium to ninth.
And it was a disaster for Sam Connor, the 2005 winner enjoying yet another impressive week until now, but a hefty 19 marks for the day jumped his score from just 10 to 29 and Big Sam tumbled to twelfth place.
SATURDAY
AND so into the final day with the sun still shining, albeit through a biting cold breeze on the hills, and the question on everyone's lips was, "Could Dougie really do it, could he actually go through the entire Scottish Six Days without losing a single mark?”
The weather was good and the section planners, to their credit, played fair and marked the hazards exactly as they had all week, designed to keep the front runners on their toes while giving the rest of the field the chance to ride them.
But, as we now know, the ‘impossible' proved just that and a simple dab was finally teased out of Doug at Lower Mamore after a final trip down the Mamore road taking in three sections at Sleubaich and three more at Upper Mamore.
It was the gentlest of off-balance prods and Doug himself questioned whether he had really needed it.
But while it spoiled the Holy Grail of a clean Scottish it was no threat to the win. It actually reflected the famous Jackson dab of 1961 (famously captured on camera by the late Peter Howdle) as that was classed as almost unnecessary as Gordon had cleaned the hard corner on Grey Mares Ridge and was heading for the Ends cards.
A visit to the iconic Pipeline followed, the lower sections no problem to a modern machine, before the long loop out skirting the Blackwater reservoir to Bradilieg and back to Leanachen, a surprisingly tough couple of subs at Achintee on the outskirts of Fort William, four subs on Ben Nevis, two at Glen Nevis and a final trip up Town Hall Brae for the benefit of the locals before signing-off at parc ferme in Fort William's West End car park.
The Ben Nevis sections, which proved such stoppers last year, were much more rideable this time round with the opening steep gully of loose stones proving both enjoyable for riders and entertaining for spectators with plenty of spirited high gear attacks.
The second gully was much more technically demanding but still possible with the Clubmen claiming plenty of hard-fought threes and some managing memorable ones and twos.
Doug, after his impromptu dab, was straight back into the zone and ripped through the remaining sections clean to finish the day and the week on one mark and a clear winner.
There was just one clean sheet to prove that it was possible to clean the final day and that went to Sam Haslam, best on day for the second time in the week, and Sam finished ninth in the final standings.
The battle was on for the minor placings, though, and it was Jack Price who finished strongly on three for the day to end his week as runner-up, the only rider other than Doug on a single-figure finish.
It was a superb ride by Pricey, who proved he has the temperament to win in Scotland.
Michael Brown filled out the podium on 15 total after completing Saturday's 30 sections for six marks, holding off Jack Sheppard's late charge.
Shep ended his week strongly, with three for the day and 16 for the week, just a single mark off the podium.
There were around 25 single-figure scores for the day including a strong finish for Sam Connor, with just two prods giving him third-best score on the day and tenth overall.
Jim Lampkin was also ending the week on a high, in his only trial of the year, with just four marks for the day.
Others with a memorable finish were Jack Spencer on five and Jonny Starmer on six.
As well as stretching his winning record to eleven Doug also picked up the Over 40s award.
Behind him John Shirt Jr and Northern centre ace Steve Dixon completed the podium of a class that made up more than one third the entry – just short of 100 riders.
Ulster's Andy Perry just missed the podium after a great week's competition on the TRS.
Emma Bristow enjoyed yet another great week and took the Ladies' prize by a distance from Spain's Sandra Gomez, with Jess Bown a clear third from Chloe Richardson, American Kylee Sweeten – riding with dad Dennis and her brother Zach – and Victoria Payne, all the girls reaching the finish in style.
Gary Macdonald nailed his customary Best Scot award as he competed for a podium position at the sharp end of the field all week in the overall standings, while Joe Dawson showed real promise for future events with a great ride on the 125 to claim the Best Scottish Newcomer award.
Ride of the week arguably went to 19-year-old Tom Minta, who not only took the Best Newcomer award but finished a close fifth losing just 19 marks for the week, looking a complete natural, no-stop Scottish Six Days rider.
Tom just looked at the sections, got on his bike and rode straight up them. What a performance.
On Saturday the week ended as it started, under blue skies and with Dougie Lampkin as the undisputed King of the Scottish Six Days.
