Middleton and McKinnon reign again at 2019 Australian Trial Championships

With picture-perfect weather the 2019 Huon Aquaculture Australian Trial Championships was held on the unique rocky terrain of Mt Joy, Tasmania, on October 13 providing a great mix of obstacles to test the riders in their respective classes.

Twenty-nine-year-old NSW rider, Kyle Middleton once again re-wrote the history books by becoming the first rider to win seven straight Australian Solo Trial Championships, with near perfect scores. After scoring a phenomenally perfect score of zero points on Saturday, the New South Welshman went on to score only 5-points on Sunday, which saw him once again winning the Australian Championships finishing with only 5-points to his name for the weekend.

Thirty-three points off Middleton in second place was Colin Zarczynski with a mere 38 points and Connor Hogan was only one point behind finishing the weekend with only 39 points. Tasmania‰Ûªs Chris Bayles finished fourth overall with 56-points and Timothy Coleman followed closely with 58 points.

When asked about the championship weekend Middleton enthused ‰ÛÏTo be honest, the weekend went so smoothly that I can‰Ûªt say there were any low lights and even highlights were hard to find because it was all so good‰Û
