Loris Gubian, 2018 TrialE World Champion,
is left out of the Gas Gas team just one week before the start of the championship. The French rider himself said it this way on his social networks: “Unfortunately, it was already a dream, this project was close to my heart, but unfortunately they replaced me without even warning me (Gas Gas), it doesn’t matter, I will just remember the good times that gave me this great project, I wish you the best of luck. I wish all the riders in this TrialE World Championship that the best… I’ll look for new adventures, see you next time. Life sometimes has surprises in store for us. I’m following my dream.”
