ILKLEY rider Daniel Hole stormed to success at the Bradford Motor Club Trial held at Hagg Farm, Embsay.

The Bradford club headed for Embsay village a few miles north of Skipton to run their mid-week trial at the popular Hagg Farm venue where 38 competitors rode a compact eight-section course that featured streams and grassy gradients. The event was milder than in previous Club status trials.

Maybe a little too easy when veteran Steve Wicks headed a trio of clean sheet contenders.

Hole won the hard route class on a dab on lap two. Lucy Ayrton was right on Hole until she indulged in two dabs in section seven.

Class A youth Alfie Carney ran off with Clubman B losing just five marks.

Bradford will run again on August 17 at Lumb Waterfall, Cowling.
