2025 FIM TRIAL2 WORLD CHAMPION
At the tender age of just nineteen years old, rising British star Harry Hemingway – Beta is now a two-time FIM gold medal winner after claiming the 2025 FIM Trial2 World Championship title to go with the Trial3 crown he won in 2022.
A passion for Trial runs through Hemingway’s veins and it is very much a family affair for the rider whose younger brother, George, won last season’s Trial3 title. His father Dan and uncle Ben were both top-flight riders and the great Dougie Lampkin is also a relative, but Hemingway is determined to put his own stamp on the sport.
Trial2 is always incredibly close and after finishing fifth in 2024, Hemingway quickly asserted his authority this season following a cautious start at the TrialGP of Spain in April. Hemingway’s cool consistency proved to be key and once he had taken the series lead in Portugal one week later he simply refused to relinquish it.
Resisting strong challenges from the Spanish pairing of Miquel Gelabert – Honda and Arnau Farré – Sherco, Hemingway soaked up season-long pressure before arriving at the final round on home ground where he put the title out of reach of his rivals on the opening day.

HARRY IN A HURRY!
It has been a super-successful season for Harry Hemingway who went one better in 2022 after he finished second in the closely-contested Trial3 class the previous year.
Still only sweet sixteen, the rising British talent started the year on the front foot with a decisive win on the opening day of competition at the TrialGP of Spain staged at L’Hospitalet de L’Infant just south of Barcelona in early June.
Pushed back to second on day two, he nether the less held the series lead going into round two in Andorra and clearly demonstrated that he carries a cool head on his young shoulders by maintaining his advantage at the top of the table.
Just one mark away from victory on the first day in the Pyrenees, he regrouped and let his riding do the talking with a sensational clean performance on day two that enabled him to tighten his vice-like grip on the class for the stars of tomorrow.
The title was sealed with back-to-back wins in Belgium and France as he motored clear of the chasing pack to clinch the Trial3 title by a clear margin of twenty-one points.
It is fair to say that Harry has the sport of Trial in his blood and, as part of a family dynasty that encompasses the legendary Lampkin clan, along with his fourteen-year-old brother George – who is also showing huge potential in Trial3 – Harry is spoilt for choice when it comes to advice and guidance.
Next season Harry has his sights set on Trial2 and while he is fully aware that it is a steep learning curve, after just three years in the World Championship motivation is most definitely not an issue for this young rider who is hungry for success.
