Two of Yorkshire’s finest young talents are putting their hometowns firmly on the international map this weekend as they take on the best in the world at the 2025 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship in San Marino.
Representing not just Great Britain but West and North Yorkshire, Harry Hemingway of Silsden and Jack Peace of Kirkbymoorside are flying the flag for the region in this adrenaline-fuelled sport — and both are making headlines for all the right reasons.
Silsden’s Harry Hemingway Leads the Way
At just 19 years old, Harry Hemingway is proving himself a force to be reckoned with in the fiercely competitive Trial2 class. Hailing from Silsden, a market town nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Hemingway currently holds a 20-point lead in the championship standings after a season marked by impressive consistency and technical excellence.
Already a standout name in British trials, Hemingway’s performances this year have seen him steadily pull ahead of the pack — and he’s showing no signs of slowing down as the series enters its fifth round in San Marino (6–8 June).
Kirkbymoorside’s Jack Peace Climbs the Rankings
Meanwhile, Jack Peace, from Kirkbymoorside in North Yorkshire, is making waves in the elite TrialGP class. After being crowned Trial2 champion in 2024, Peace has stepped up to the top tier of the sport with confidence and ambition. He currently sits just outside the top five, hot on the heels of more seasoned competitors and steadily climbing the ranks with every round.
Peace’s transition to the highest level has been marked by technical brilliance and determination — not least his career-best second-place finish earlier this season in France. As a proud Yorkshireman and lifelong trials rider, Peace’s rise is inspiring a new generation of off-road talent in the region.
Yorkshire’s Rich Trialling Legacy Continues
Yorkshire has long been a heartland for motorcycle trials — from grassroots events on the moors to world-class riders competing internationally. The success of Hemingway and Peace is the latest chapter in this proud tradition, and their home communities are cheering them on as they compete against the world’s best.
