By It’s been a great year of competition at Oliver’s Mount in 2016.
Without a doubt the main star this year around the mount, has been Dean Harrison.
The Bradford based rider, has dominated at Scarborough, wrapping up multiple victories including the Cock of The North and Barry Sheene Trophy titles on the Silicone Engineering Racing Kawasaki’s.
It’s fair to say that Dean at present is the current master of the mount, now a two times Gold Cup winner, it would not surprise me if in the future he exceeded Guy Martin’s record tally of eight Gold Cup victories.
Alongside the 2014 Lightweight TT winner, additional riders to have starred in 2016 at the mount, have included Bob Smith Spring Cup winner Dan Hegarty.
Since making his Scarborough debut at the Spring Cup National Road Races last year, he has gone from strength to strength, at England’s only pure road racing circuit.
Now an established Oliver’s Mount front runner, the TT privateers champion goes into 2017, now not just a rising roads star, but an established top class roads competitor, more than worthy of been considered “world class”.
Two times Lightweight TT winner Ivan Lintin, has enjoyed another productive year at Scarborough, going unbeaten in the Super Twin class on the Devitt RC Express Racing ER6 Kawasaki, plus recently wrapping up overall success in the David Jefferies Cup Junior A races, at the 66th Scarborough Gold Cup.
Further race winners at Scarborough this year, include Steve Mercer, Paul Owen, Ian Lougher, David Bell, Davy Morgan, Adrian Harrison, James Cowton and first time victors Mike Norbury, recent Stu Reed Trophy winner Joe Thompson and Jamie Williams.
