Jack Price and Arnau Farré proved at the Andorra Trial GP the two top favourites to win the Trial2 World Championship. The British rider and the Spaniard alternated at the top of the podium in two days marked by rain on Saturday and drier terrain conditions on Sunday.
Jack Price started the Andorran GP with a victory on the first day, in which his teammates Dan Peace and Arnau Farré took fifth and seventh positions, and Marc Riba finished twelfth. A day later, and with the areas drier after Saturday’s rain, Arnau Farré, much more comfortable, took the victory, followed by Jack Price, second.
Marc Riba climbed three places to finish ninth in a great weekend for the Gas Gas riders in

Gas’ Trial2. Thanks to his excellent results in this fourth round of the World Championship, Jack Price consolidates his position at the top of the World Championship with a difference of 28 points over Farré. While Dan Peace occupies the fourth position, within the top five of the category and Marc Riba, who did not compete in the Japanese GP, is twelfth in the table.

Jack Price: “I’m happy, really very happy with the results this weekend in Andorra. Saturday was an almost perfect day for me, everything went very well and I got the win. However, on Sunday, I made a couple of mistakes that prevented me from repeating the same result. In the end, I finished second, two great results that allow me to keep the first place in the championship in Trial2.”
Arnau Farré: “On Friday when we were looking at the sections we saw that it would be a difficult trial, but the truth is that on Saturday, after the rain and the wet terrain, the sections were very difficult for me and I didn’t feel too comfortable, as I added too many fives. On the other hand, on Sunday, I went very well from the first lap, everything was much easier for me and I am very happy with this new victory that helps us to get rid of the bad taste in our mouths of the first day and to encourage us for the next race, where we hope to be able to recover in qualifying.”
