Spectators in their thousands trekked to Merthyr Tydfil to watch their heroes on the rest of the best in the British round of the 1990 World Trials Championship. The huge crowd at the Cyfartha Castle venue fully intended giving a boost to Steve Saunders after his disappointing result in Ireland. Jordi Tarres, Diego Bosis (Aprilia) and other hopefuls, including Thierry Girard (Montesa -Fr), Robert Crawford (Beta - GB), Tommi Ahvala (Aprilia - Fin) and Donato Miglio (Fantic - It) provided brilliant entertainment over the very demanding course.
