Motor Sport: Dougie Lampkin failed to qualify for the final run-off in the fifth round of the World Indoor Trials Championship in Bremen.

The Silsden rider's performance dismayed the 5,000 Germans who packed the Bremen Sporthalle.

Dougie joined the spectators after failing the last of six sections in the qualifying runs.

The fans watched stunned as the world number one crashed out of the contest taking only 11 championship points. That cut his overall lead over winner Marc Colomer to one point.

But Dougie bounced back immediately in the next round at the huge Pavilhao Atlantic in Lisbon where the Yorkshireman beat Colomer by a point.

Dougie now leads the championship by four points from Colomer with four rounds left.

The top motocross expert at the York AMCA meeting on Sunday was Hexham farmer Scott Murray.

But the 22-year-old had to fight for the overall title honours in each of three tough 15-minute races over the muddy Little Terrington circuit east of York when Dewsbury's David Blakeley and Bradford racer Shaun Sykes gave the Northumbria visitor a real tyre-roasting session.

Ben Hemingway, winner of the National Colonial Trial last week, was winner of Yeadon and Guiseley MC's trial at Addingham Moorside.

But Otley's Andy McLoughlin pushed the GP Beta team member on every section at the rocky trials venue. He took the East Keswick rider right down to a tie-break decider.

Top clubman prize went to Bradford's Mark Chippendale from Horsforth rider Steve Jackson.

Bradford Motor Club produced a tight result at Kilnsey where Andrew King and Paul Heys completed the tricky limestone rock course with its eight sections four times and still finished the trials separated by just two penalties.

The club's policy of staging events for beginners paid dividends with Paul Coates, David Walker and Phillip Dullage all graduating to clubman status.

Horsforth MC ran their second championship qualifier at Dacre. Pateley Bridge stone merchant Neil Gaunt was the outright winner but Keighley father and son duo John and Mark Feather enjoyed a family double, John winning the Pre-65 class on his old British Ariel bike while Mark was the master of the youth class.
