The 2026 ACU TrialGB Championship reached a crucial turning point at Hookwood Trials Club in Surrey as Harry and George Hemingway shared the premier-class victories across Rounds 3 and 4, while title races throughout the TrialGB paddock took dramatic new twists.
With 89 riders competing across nine ACU championship classes, Hookwood delivered one of the most significant weekends of the season so far. While the spotlight naturally fell on the ongoing Hemingway family rivalry at the top of TrialGB, major developments unfolded throughout the championship structure, from Alice Minta taking control of the Women's Championship to Luke Walker's sensational return in the Expert class.
The result leaves several title fights finely balanced heading into the second half of the season and confirms that 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive TrialGB campaigns in recent memory.

TrialGB Round 3 Results 2026: George Hemingway Wins at Hookwood
Harry Hemingway Hits Back to Extend Championship Lead
After George Hemingway took victory in Round 3 on Saturday, the pressure was firmly on older brother Harry heading into Sunday's Round 4.
The Beta rider responded perfectly.
Harry lost just 13 marks throughout the day to secure victory and prevent George from building further momentum in the title race.
Although George finished third behind Billy Green, Harry's victory extended his championship lead to eight points and reinforced his status as the rider to beat in 2026.
The remarkable aspect of the championship battle is that both brothers have now taken two victories each this season. The difference comes down to consistency. Harry's pair of second-place finishes have proven invaluable and currently separate the two riders at the top of the standings.
TrialGB Round 4 Results
| Position | Rider | Marks Lost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harry Hemingway (Beta) | 13 |
| 2 | Billy Green (Scorpa) | 21 |
| 3 | George Hemingway (Beta) | 23 |
| 4 | Jack Peace (Sherco) | 23 |
| 5 | Jack Dance (GASGAS) | 26 |
| 6 | Harry Turner (Sherco) | 29 |
| 7 | Alfie Lampkin (Vertigo) | 72 |
| 8 | Jamie Galloway (TRRS) | 89 |
| 9 | Ben Dignan (Sherco) | Retired |
Championship Standings Tighten Behind the Hemingway Brothers
While Harry and George have established themselves as the championship frontrunners, the battle behind them is becoming increasingly intense.
Harry Turner remains third overall on 55 points, but both Billy Green and reigning British champion Jack Peace sit just one point behind on 54.
That means a single result could completely reshuffle the fight for a championship podium position.
| Position | Rider | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harry Hemingway | 74 |
| 2 | George Hemingway | 66 |
| 3 | Harry Turner | 55 |
| 4 | Billy Green | 54 |
| 5 | Jack Peace | 54 |
| 6 | Jack Dance | 41 |
| 7 | Alfie Lampkin | 36 |
| 8 | Jamie Galloway | 32 |
| 9 | Ben Dignan | 21 |
Alice Minta Takes Control of TrialGB Women
One of the biggest championship developments at Hookwood came in the TrialGB Women category.
Alice Minta delivered a flawless weekend aboard her Beta, securing victory on both days and moving into outright control of the championship standings.
Her closest rival, Kaytlyn Adshead, pushed hard throughout the weekend but was unable to stop Minta's momentum.
The double victory gives Minta a six-point advantage at the top of the standings and establishes her as the championship favourite heading into the second half of the season.
| TrialGB Women Championship | Points |
|---|---|
| Alice Minta (Beta) | 77 |
| Kaytlyn Adshead (Vertigo) | 71 |
| Alicia Robinson (Beta) | 58 |
| Nikita Smith (Scorpa) | 52 |
| Matilda Arbon (Sherco) | 45 |
Luke Walker's Dream Return Shakes Up Expert Championship
Perhaps the most impressive story from Hookwood came in the Expert class.
Luke Walker missed the opening two rounds of the season but immediately announced his return by taking victory on both days.
Despite only competing in half of the rounds contested so far, Walker has already climbed to sixth in the championship standings.
If he continues at this pace, he could become one of the most dangerous riders in the series despite his late start.
Charlie Smith still leads the championship, but Walker's arrival has completely altered the outlook for the remaining rounds.
Oliver Smith and Jack Spencer Continue Trial2 Battle
The Trial2 category remains one of the closest championships in British trials.
Oliver Smith claimed victory on Saturday before Jack Spencer fought back to win Sunday's encounter.
Smith's consistency means he still leads the standings by seven points, but Spencer remains within striking distance and looks capable of challenging all the way to the final round.
Meanwhile, Harison Skelton's strong weekend has elevated him into joint third overall and firmly into podium contention.
Mason Vasey Continues Trial3 Domination
If there is one rider who appears untouchable right now, it is Mason Vasey.
The GASGAS rider completed another perfect weekend at Hookwood with victories in both Trial3 rounds.
Those wins move him 18 points clear at the top of the championship and establish him as the overwhelming title favourite.
Koby Smith remains second overall, but the gap continues to grow with every event.
Trial3 Women and Girls Deliver Championship Drama
The Trial3 Women category witnessed a major new arrival as Kayleigh Rich claimed both victories despite only joining the championship at Hookwood.
Although Niki Louis still leads the standings, Rich's immediate impact suggests she could become a major factor in the remaining rounds.
Meanwhile, the Trial3 Girls championship is now tied at the top after Rosy Connor secured two victories to draw level with Sophie Ferguson on 70 points.
That battle is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting championship fights in the entire paddock.
Trial4 Sees Winning Streak End
Hudson Ravenhill-White arrived at Hookwood having won every Trial4 round contested so far.
While he secured victory on Saturday, Tommy Keet finally ended the streak on Sunday and reduced the championship deficit.
Ravenhill-White still leads the standings by 10 points, but for the first time this season he looks vulnerable.

Hookwood Could Prove the Turning Point of the 2026 Season

Harry Hemingway strengthened his position at the top of TrialGB, Alice Minta took control of TrialGB Women, Luke Walker announced his return in spectacular fashion and several youth championships became even tighter.
Most importantly, the weekend confirmed that virtually every major title remains up for grabs.
