Bou Completes Sweep at TrialGP of Great Britain R eigning TrialGP Champion Toni Bou (Repsol Honda Team/Montesa) extended his season total to 16 consecutive race victories and increased his series lead to 90 points by domi - nating days one and two of the TrialGP of Great Britain, round four of the 2026 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship. With the recent heatwave giv - ing way to much less temperate conditions as the seven-round series reached the halfway point, the sections grouped around the Anglesey headland proved to be extremely technical. There was almost too much traction in some places on the sharp, coastline rocks and virtually none to be found in others as the day progressed. Bou, however, is the master of finding grip, and with his pinpoint precision, the sublime Spaniard topped Friday's Su - per Test to determine starting positions before tightening his grip on the title with a pair of commanding performances on Saturday. It was his compatriot Jaime Busto (Beta) who pushed him hardest in both races, and he kept the pressure on in race one all the way to section eight. With the leading pair locked together on six after both needed a single dab on section two before the entire field took a maximum at section four, Bou moved into a clear lead with a clean to Busto's two, and he ended the race with an 11-mark winning margin. Roared on by the passionate crowd, Britain's Harry Heming - way (Beta), in his debut season in the premier class, put in an inspired performance to post a career-best third in the open- ing race after losing a tie-break with Busto. There was then a four-mark gap to Spain's Ga- briel Marcelli (Montesa) who fought through the pain of a fractured finger to take fourth on a tie-break from Italian veteran Matteo Grattarola (Beta) with home hero Jack Peace (Sherco) completing the top six. After getting race two under - way with victory in Super Pole, Bou seized an immediate lead alongside Grattarola with a clean in the Final's opening section before moving clear with a dab in the following hazard where Busto was the only other rider to escape without a maximum. WIND IN THE P46 Toni Bou swept the TrialGP of Great Britain, stretching out his championship lead.
