Gas Gas Factory FG Trial Team riders rule Trial2 and Trial125 in Andorra.
The following is from Gas Gas:
The Gas Gas Factory FG Trial riders were the stars of the show at the Andorran GP in Trial2, June 11-12. Jack Price and Arnau Farré shared out the victories on Saturday and Sunday in Sant Julià de Lòria. And with Dan Peace in the top five, these boys are the masters of the classification for this class. Jack Peace confirmed his leadership in Trial125 after adding first and second positions in the fourth event of the world championship. Matteo Grattarola (11th and 15th) and Franzi Kadlec (12th and 11th) ended a tough weekend of trial in Andorra. The event also gave Sandra Gómez a chance to prepare her debut in the Women’s World Championship, starting in the next GP in the UK, with a first and second place in the International Open class.
Jack Price started off the Andorran GP with a victory on the first day, with his teammates Dan Peace and Arnau Farré getting fifth and seventh positions and Marc Riba, finishing 12th. The next day, with drier ground after Saturday’s rain, Arnau Farré, now much more comfortable, had a great victory closely followed by Jack Price, in second place. Riba, climbed three positions to finish ninth in what was a fantastic weekend for the Trial2 Gas Gas riders.
“I’m happy, really happy with the results this weekend in Andorra,” Price said. “Saturday was a nearly perfect day for me, everything went well and I won. However, on Sunday I made a couple of mistakes that stopped me from getting the same result. Finally, I finished up second, Two great results which help me keep my top position in the Trial2 World Championship.”
Thanks to their excellent results in this the fourth event in the World Championship, Jack Price has cemented his position in the number one position in the World Championship with a difference of 28 points over Farré. Meanwhile, Dan Peace, is in fourth position, within the top five of the class and Marc Riba, who did not ride in the Japanese GP is 12th in the table.
Excellent results, too, for Jack Peace in Trial125. The British rider won on Saturday and climbed onto the second step of the podium on Sunday with a results computation meaning that the young Gas Gas star is leading the World Championship with great authority at 16 points of advantage over his nearest rival.
Sandra Gómez was a highlight in International Trial, an open class held in the Andorran Trial GP and where the rider from Madrid added a first and second place. Without a doubt this is the best way to prepare the Gas Gas rider for the start of the Women’s World Championship. This championship is kicking off in mid-July in Tong in the United Kingdom and consists of three events this year.
Meanwhile Matteo Grattarola and Franzi Kadlec were the most successful Gas Gas Factory FG Trail Team riders in the fourth event in the calendar for riders in TrialGP. The Italian Grattarola achieved 11th and 15th positions in the highest engine capacity, a class where even the smallest mistakes are paid for very dearly in the final classification. His German teammate, Kadlec finished just behind the Italian on Saturday in 12th place and improved his position on Sunday with an 11th place.
The Norwegian Hakön Pedersen repeated in the 17th position on both days, in a GP where unfortunately the Italian Gianluca Tournour was unable to finish because of problems with a rib injury after a fall on Wednesday during training for the Andorran GP.
The Gas Gas Factory FG Trial Team now travels straight to Lourdes, where next weekend, June 18-19, the French GP is to be held. This is the fifth of the eight events comprising the World Championship.
