Trial European Championship:
Isola 2000 hosted the third round of the season
Hosted by the fantastic facility at French Ski Resort of Isola 2000, the Trial European Championship riders knew Saturday and Sunday days of competition would provide a suitably tough challenge, with extremely testing conditions.
The third round of the season saw a total of 83 riders took the start for 2 laps of 8 km 12 challenging sections per day, which had been carefully planned by the organizers at a venue that has previously held the prestigious Trial de Nations and several World Championship GPs.
Whilst it was an impressive overall entry, the top European Championship Class only attracted 8 riders but the quality was indisputable. Local French rider Teo Colairo took a double win ahead of German rider Joschka Kraft, two times second. Third position for Polish Milosz Zynowski on Day 1 and for Rodney Bereiter on Day 2.
The Women’s Championship was an extremely close-fought affair. ON Saturday Czech rider Denisa Pechackova had a one-point victory over British Kaytlyn Adshead, with fellow Brit Alicia Robinson a further 2 points behind. On Sunday Adshead took the victory regaining the lead in the series ahead of Denisa Pechackova and Alicia Robinson.
Some very promising talent staged a great competition in the Youth Championship Class. The category produced a double success for French rider Pablo Echene. On Saturday he won ahead of Fabio Mazzola and Marco Laure, while on Sunday ahead of Patrick Larsen and Anton Carlsson.
The Junior Cup was even more closely contested with only one point covering the first three riders. Mirko Pedretti won the tiebreak ahead of Xurxo Neo, while Pawel Ryncarz finished one point behind. On Day 2 Ryncarz took victory ahead of Pedretti and Xurxo Neo Suarez.
The Over 40 Cup was won by legend Martin Kroustek, ruler on both Day 1 and Day 2 ahead of Italian riders Andrea Buschi and Paolo Brandani, second and third each.
