Dougie Lampkin clinched his second Spanish championship in bizarre circumstances last weekend -- after completing just six sections of the final round.

He found it impossible to continue because of the pain from a trapped muscle in his chest. He had several days of medical treatment before the trial and pain killers administered before starting the course but he could not hold on to the handlebars of his Montessa machine.

With his closewst rival, Fujinami, absent because of commitments in the Japanese championship, Lampkin already had the title sewn up.

No other rider was able to close the gap on Lampkin.

He struggled through the first two sections, but missed the next three hazards along with the other top riders as they proved impossible. Unable to control the bike properly in section six, a team decision was made for Dougie to retire immediately to prevent further aggravation to the injury.

The team also had one eye on the indoor season which is due to start soon.

"It is not the way I wanted to win the championship, but there was no way that I could have ridden any more than I did. The pain was incredible, I had no grip at all and the handlebars were simply going where they liked.

"The stupid thing is I don't know how I got the injury in the first place, all I know is that even breathing is sore at the moment. I've been to see a specialist and they have been treating me for a trapped chest muscle, all the checks I have had show that there are no other problems. Hopefully a couple of weeks rest and some more treatment will see me back on a bike again.

"There is no way I am going to try and ride again until it is 100 per cent right."

n British trials champion Graham Jarvis won the Scott Trial on Richmondshire moors in north Yorkshire on Saturday beating 200 starters in the 90-year-old cross country event.

Thousands watched him win by twelve minutes and a margin of 23 penalties. Runner-up Ben Hemingway beat his GP Beta team colleagues Ian Austermuhle and last year's winner Michael Phillipson.

Best first timer was teenager James Dabill in sixteenth place while Scott veterans Phillip Alderson and Harold Crawford finished in the top ten.

Maria Conway was the first woman to complete the course since Rene Bennett in 1968. She was out of time but received a special award.

Dan Clark beat Scorpa boss Martin Crosswaite by four marks. James Lampkin and cousin Dan Hemingway were split by the same margin for eleventh place. All gained Special First Class awards.
