Adam Milner’s trial biking triumph

Leavening ace Adam Milner was not deterred by a heavy downpour as he won Middlesbrough District Motor Club’s Lazenby Trial high on the Eston Hills.

Glorious weather initially greeted the 83 riders, before the rains midway through spiced things up.

Milner revelled in the conditions, emerging a clear winner from Yarm’s Stevie Suddes, having pulled out a lead with superb rides on the fifth and sixth sections, losing just three marks on each.

The treacherously slippy 10th section appeared unridable after the rain, but Suddes nailed it for just five marks. Even Milner and Kirkbymoorside British youth champion Dan Peace lost nine marks each here.

Glaisdale’s Andrew Dale dashed round and beat the rain, and it paid off, as he won clubman ‘B’ category by seven marks to win clubman ‘B’.
