World SuperEnduro Champion Sandra Gómez to Gas Gas

FIM World Women’s SuperEnduro champion Sandra Gómez joins the Gas Gas trials team.

The following is from Gas Gas:

Gas Gas announces the signing of Sandra Gómez. The current World Champion of SuperEnduro and AMA EnduroCross joins the Gas Gas Factory FG Trial Team, where she is going to fight for national and world trial titles. The rider from Madrid is also scheduled to participate in long distance races such as the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT), the Dos Dies d’Arinsal, (The Arinsal Two Days event in Andorra).

Gómez joining the Gas Gas family means yet another step in the right direction by the Spanish manufacturer in its commitment to trial and its support of women’s competition, something which has been in a state of growth lately. The rider from Madrid gets back on track after a successful story in trial after the 2015 season when she concentrated all her efforts into winning the two most prestigious titles in enduro: the World SuperEnduro, in Europe, and the AMA EnduroCross Championship, on the other side of the Atlantic, in the USA.

But written down on the next pages of her agenda is her entry for the SSDT 2016, from May 2-7, in Fort William (Scotland), where she is to have her first taste of competition with Gas Gas. Meanwhile, from July, Gómez will also be participating in the [Spanish] National and World Trial championships. Gómez is set to fight for the crown of the Trial World Championship this coming July in Tong, UK, and which this year has three double events: the first in Tong, a second in Valchiampo, in Italy, and the last in Isola 2000, France. As well as all these races, she will also be taking part in the events left in the Women’s Spanish Trial Championship: Pobladura de Regueras (León), Vall de Lord (Lleida), Carnota (A Coruña), Valdemanco (Madrid) and Antas (Almería).

“I’m just so excited to be back with Gas Gas, the brand that I started off with in trial,” Gómez said. “And the truth is that I’m really motivated and looking forward to beginning my training and fighting to get my first world title in trial. My first race is going to be the ‘Scottish’ in just two weeks. So I’m going to be using this time to get used to the new Gas Gas TXT 300 Racing, which I’ve heard so many good things about. I’m absolutely thrilled at the thought of competing.”
