Adding to the drawcard of providing that last bit of nighttime reliability trial riding before the HARDI 24 Hour Trial Centenary 1924-2024 is run and won, a stacked field of 133 solos and sidecars made the yearly trek up to Mid North for the weekend. With Championship outright leaders Nicholas Throup and Rowan Pumpa missing the round, this opened up the opportunity for Riley Graham to let loose and take firm control of the round’s outright solo and overall competition. Setting an absolutely blistering pace, Graham was unmatched and took the Lew Job 2 Day Trial honors with a lead of 3 minutes and 14 seconds ahead of Tristan Throup. The battle for the second and third podium positions was much tighter, as Throup entered Sunday just 24 seconds ahead of a fast-paced Clinton Voigt. Despite some tight laps, Voigt couldn’t close the gap to Throup, ultimately settling for third, trailing by just 57 seconds at the end.
Bradley Hunter and Bradley Manuel proved they are a force to be reckoned with by taking the Lew Job 2-Day Trial sidecar win after leading every lap of the weekend. Shaun Blenkiron and Nathan Saegenschnitter secured second place after showing great consistency and narrowly beating the cracking pace of Matthew Neldner and Aiden Wilksch. The challenging course saw many competitors unable to finish, including Shane Beckman and Adam Brook, who sat third in the Championship as of round 2. They will be looking to claw back points in the coming rounds and are surely already planning their redemption at next year’s Lew Job 2-Day Trial.
Full outright and open sidecar provisional results for the weekend are below & head to the SART website for detailed results across all classes. Keep in mind, as always, that these results are provisional for five days after publication, allowing riders to review and lodge any challenges before the results are finalized at midnight on Saturday, June 15th.
