Sant Julià de Lòria (Andorra), 2 de septiembre de 2007.– Adam Raga (GAS GAS) ha finalizado su participación en el Campeonato del Mundo de Trial logrando la segunda plaza en el Gran Premio de Andorra, cita que ha cerrado la temporada mundialista en la que el piloto de Ulldecona (Tarragona) ha conseguido el Subcampeonato absoluto.

En el campeonato Júnior, la victoria ha sido para el piloto de GAS GAS y recientemente proclamado Campeón del Mundo en Youth Cup, Alfredo Gómez, demostrando una vez más su gran momento de forma. Tras el título logrado en Hawkstone Park por el británico Michael Brown, Alexz Wigg (GAS GAS) obtenía el subcampeonato matemáticamente tras la cancelación de la cita de Bélgica, completando el éxito de la marca de Salt el francés Nicolas Gontard al concluir en la tercera posición final.

Mientras tanto, en Youth Cup se ha confirmado el doblete de GAS GAS ya que al merecido título logrado por Alfredo Gómez se ha unido en esta ocasión el segundo puesto del británico Ross Danby (tercero en la jornada de hoy), que le ha ganado la batalla a su principal rival, el francés Alexis Cervantes.

Campeonato del Mundo de Trial. Andorra 11ª prueba

---

Caldes de Montbui, 2 de septiembre de 2007. El piloto de Sherco, Albert Cabestany, ha terminado en la cuarta posición final del Mundial de Trial Outdoor 2007. Cabes se ha mostrado firme durante toda la jornada marcando muy de cerca a Dougie Lampkin. El británico era el único que podía arrebatarle esta posición final.

Pero además, el tarraconense ha tenido que luchar también contra Takahisa Fujinami, quién ha intentado ayudar a su compañero de equipo, haciendo más meritorio el resultado de Cabestany en una jornada marcada por la dureza a causa de las altas temperaturas que se han registrado en las inmediaciones de Sant Julià de Lòria (Andorra), sede de esta última prueba del campeonato del mundo de la temporada 2007.

Dani Oliveras y Christophe Bruand han finalizado entre los top 10 del campeonato en su primera temporada completa con las nuevas Sherco 3.2 4T. De esta forma ambos pilotos se confirman como unos de los principales protagonistas futuros en el mundial de trial.

Esta cuarta plaza del mundial para Cabestany no ha sido la única buena noticia para Sherco, ya que además hay que sumar un excelente doblete de los pilotos David Millán y Alexis Cervantes en la categoría Youth Cup, reservada a motos con una cilindrada máxima de 125 c.c. Matteo Grattarola también ha conseguido subir a la tercera plaza del podio en la categoría junior, puesto que le ha permitido ocupar la cuarta plaza final del campeonato en esta clase.

Sant Julià de Loria (Andorra), 2 de septiembre de 2007.- El piloto de trial Dani Oliveras (SHERCO) ha cerrado, su primer paso por el Campeonato del Mundo outdoor en la categoría sénior A, con una decimo cuarta posición en el trial de Andorra. Mermado físicamente, Oliveras se ha planteado la carrera, como un nuevo test de pruebas para su SHERCO 4T. La gran diferencia de puntos que disponía con su perseguidor y su antecesor, hizo que Oliveras no tuviera ningún tipo de presión en la prueba. Solamente, sus ganas de hacerlo bien.

El piloto de la escudería Peu a Baix cierra el certamen mundial en novena posición y ha cumplido con uno de sus objetivos primordiales que se marcó a inicio de temporada. Acabar entre los 10 primeros era la meta marcada, y lo ha conseguido, en su primer año como sénior A.

Dougie Lampkin Team

World Outdoor Trials Championship Sant Julia De Loria, Andorra. Round 9 Day 1 Sunday (1 day event) 02/09/07

---

Dougie Lampkin showed that he remains one of the best trials riders in the World, when he finished in a morale boasting third place at the Grand Prix of Andorra earlier today. Lampkin made a welcome return to the podium and clearly showed the benefits of being able to spend some quality time on his bike on the lead up to this the final round of the 2007 championship. The Belgium GP, which was scheduled to run later this month was cancelled at short notice last week.

Lampkin looked back at his best, as he made easy work of the tricky first section, with a ride that was not matched even by newly crowned World champion Toni Bou. Whilst other riders also recorded cleans, none were in the manner and style that Dougie delivered, which clearly signalled that he was very much back in the hunt despite the very dry and technical conditions.

Dougie notched up no less than ten clean rides on his opening lap, where the majority of the sections featured climbs up and over steep rocky outcrops, with only four river based hazards later in the lap offering any variety on a course that was at maximum FIM length. The long tour around the hills above the town of Sant Julia De Loria caused time issues for many of the riders, but Lampkin used his experience to come in exactly on his minute and with no time penalties.

Third at the halfway point, Dougie produced an equally good performance on his second visit to the sections to claim only his third podium finish of the year. However, despite Lampkin's best efforts, the thirty one year old could not over take Cabestany in the final standings, and had to be content with fifth position in a season that has been marred by an injury that has kept him off his bike between compeitons.

"For the first time in a long time I felt comfortable on the bike, as only in the last two weeks have I been able to practice since I dislocated my finger in Japan. It's nice to finish the year with a good result as I think a lot of people have begun to write me off. At this moment my future is not clear, I would like to continue to ride, but only under the right circumstances, so we will have to see what happens over the next few weeks. Anyway it was nice to be on the podium and to be apart of the celebrations, let's just hope it wasn't the last time I will get the chance to enjoy that feeling."

James Dabill - Top Trial Team

World Trials Championship Round 9 - 02/09/07. Sant Julia De Loria, Andorra

James Dabill's 2007 FIM SPEA World championship campaign closed with great disappointment when he recorded his worst finish of the year at the final round of the series held in Andorra earlier today. Dabill finished in a lowly eleventh position as he placed outside of the World's top ten for the first time this year. Further misery was added to James' day as he over taken in the championship standings by season long rival Marc Freixa.

After having shown so much promise for most of the year, Dabill unfortunately produced his worst two performances over the closing two Grand Prix to slip to eighth in the final championship rankings. Although this is one spot higher than James finished twelve months ago, it is not the result he was looking for as he had threaten a top six placing at points during the six month long campaign.

In practice Dabill had looked very much at home on the steep, dry and dusty terrain, but was simply unable to replicate this once the competition proper got underway. Eight maximums on his first lap brought his total to a hefty forty seven marks, which was soured further as he incurred an extra seven marks for running over the immediate time limit.

Things got little better for the twenty one year old from Leeds on his second and final tour, with nine fives to show for efforts and an even higher lap total of fifty three marks this time around. However this was not all James fault, as he had to ride the last third of the lap with a misfiring engine after he drowned his bike at one of the few river sections.

With no time to make an effect repair, Dabill rode the last four hazards not knowing if the bike would stop or go, this led directly to two fives in the last two sections. This would push James further down the order on the day, and rob him of seventh position in the championship.

A distraught Dabill explained. "This is a major disappointment, not only for me, but also for Jack and the rest of the team. It really hurts to have had such a bad day at such an important moment. All the hard work for the rest of the year has been lost in this one trial."

"Drowning the bike was the last straw and has put an end to me taking seventh spot in the series, which ultimately I would have been happy with. I feel gutted even now, so I am sure it will feel even worse in the morning when it really sinks in."

BROWN CHE INIZIO!

Ad Andorra andava in onda l'ultima prova del Mondiale Trial 07. Con i titoli in tutte le categorie già assegnati si correva un trial abbastanza rilassato, anche se qualche posizione era ancora da confermare.

Le zone erano state tracciate lungo un anello di circa 10 km che comprendeva vari tipologie di no stop. Quelle nel fiume diventavano le più impegnative soprattutto perchè nel gruppo finale venivano saltate dalla maggior parte dei rider per mancanza di tempo. In cima alla montagna venivano tracciate le consuete zone tipiche di Andorra. Il caldo faceva da corona ad una gara durissima sotto l'aspetto fisico.

Micheal Brown, neo Campione del Mondo della categoria Junior, iniziava in questo Gran Premio la sua avventura insieme ai big del Mondiale Trial. Micheal si trovava subito a suo agio e effettuando grandi passaggi si infilava già in nona posizione al primo giro. Nel secondo il pilota del Top Trial Team era altrettanto bravo a scendere di alcune penalità sul giro e tenendosi stretta la nona posizione faceva notare subito di che pasta è fatto.

Daniele Maurino era autore di una gara regolare e pure lui iniziando il primo giro in undicesimo calava nel secondo solamente di una posizione. Alcuni cinque pesanti caratterizzavano la sua giornata ponendolo fuori dalla top ten di non molto.

Il Top Trial Team vuole ringraziare oer questo Mondiale 2007 i piloti Micheal Brown e Daniele Maurino e tutto lo staff che hanno lavorato duramente durante questo anno: Daniela Rossi, Michele Bosi, Riccardo Bosi, Valerio Perelli, Shaun Galway, Claudio Maurino, Steve Brown, Sophie Kilhams, Massimo Meoni, Stefano Lorenzini, Andrea Valenti, Gualberto Vechhietti, Daniele Picchi.

Alexz Wigg

Junior World Trials Championship. Erba, Italy

---

Alexz Wigg (JST 125 Gas Gas Pro racing) took part in the final round of the Junior WTC championship held in the Principality of Andorra in and around the small town of St.Julia de Loria approximately 1500 metres above sea level. Hopeful of a better result than at Hawkstone, after training and then inspection on Saturday his usually positive frame of mind was tempered by the severity of the sections and lack of power from the little machine.

A bright and sunny Sunday greeted the riders, but as early as section two where the bike just wasn’t powerful enough to get to the top meant that a good result was dependent on struggling through for threes and saving as many marks whenever possible. Sections six and seven were typical where the bike had not enough grunt to get up the first steps. Towards the end of lap one Alexz was riding better where power was not so much of an issue and had some great rides in the stream sections cleaning 14 with style. Time was very tight and finishing just inside his three and a half hour limit on the first lap was well managed by one off minder John Shirt Jnr. Although riding as well as he could the main aim for the day was to secure second in the championship, which could be difficult if Gontard (280cc Gas Gas) won in Michael Browns’ absence.

Although disappointed with his score he was much more positive starting lap two and although loosing 9 in the first three sections knowing that it was probably not that bad Alexz stuck to the task well. Double cleans on four and five (no one else did this on both laps) followed by a puncture soon after delayed him for a few minutes but did not affect his concentration and a clean on the difficult 8 was very steady.

Pretty much matching his first lap scores, except 11, where he was the only rider all day to clean the tricky slippery stream section, he clawed some marks back. Carrying this form to 12 his attempt was clean until the final climb out where he came up short and fell back down, spoiling a fantastic effort. Managing a double clean on the last two sections was the way to finish his career on the 125cc Gasser. At the final count, Alexz had secured fifth spot, while Gontard failed to improve his position on the second lap and finished in a lowly ninth at the end. Alexz was well clear in second position to make it a British one two in the overall Junior Championship.

Said Alexz “ I was really not that happy with my result today, but what mattered was the overall result which went my way. It’s been a mega year for me and today has been a real effort by all the team. My dad has worked wonders with the bike since Friday but there is a limit to what the moped can do. Having Shirty minding was really good, and we worked really well from the start”.

“I want to thank everyone who has helped me get to this position, which although only second, was better, much better than we even hoped for at the beginning of the year. Everything this year was just case of getting on with it, and although I know I have struggled at times its been worth it. I’m looking forward to next year already!”

Alexz has various events coming up, not least the British Championship event at Hook woods in two weeks, as close as it gets to a “home” event. Alexz will compete in next year’s junior championship on a bigger machine; although the 125cc has served him very well rumours of a bonfire were quickly denied!! Alexz has ridden a 125cc Gas Gas for seven years, mainly because of rule changes but his successes are well known culminating in this years 2nd place in the Junior WTC. Not to mention two Youth European Championships, 2004, 2005, and the 2006 Youth WTC.
