DENBY DALE youngster Jack Price travelled to Italy for the European Youth Championship and picked up points.
Riding at Biella, he guided his JST Road and Trial 125cc Gas Gas to ninth place in the opening round in the series.
Price was the second best British competitor in the overall results to Welsh Youth Champion Iwan Roberts.
Newcastle rider Billy Bolt was 12th in the Moto Club Valsesia event. The championship resumes in August, moving to the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Falcon club member Simon Tyas claimed fourth place in the Over 40s championship class in the national S3 Parts Championship in Yorkshire and North Wales.
Tyas’s first event was the Chris Carter Trophy Trial at Dob Park, Otley, then he travelled to Glyn Ceiriog, North Wales, where he rode his Gas Gas machine to fourth place.
He is now ranked fifth behind Sheffield’s Tony Scarlett and Barnsley builder Darren Wasley.
This weekend the Auto 66 Club stage a bumper programme of 15 races at Oliver’s Mount with a huge entry list of national stars in action.
Multiple Irish winner Ryan Farquhar heads the entry with a quartet of Kawasaki machines. He will have his own compatriots as rivals.
Michael Dunlop, Adrian Archibald, David Guiney and Michael Pearson will test him.
Bradford postman Conrad Harrison, with Lee Patterson in the Prining Roller Services Shelbourne Honda sidecar outfit, knows all the whims of The Mount, and he has won many times, and that is the plan on Sunday.
Ian and Carl Bell and Thirsk pair Tony Thirkell and Nigel Barlow may have other ideas on just who wins the sidecar races.
Untimed practice commences at 9am with time sessions from 10.15. Racing proper fires up at 12.30.
