More than a month and a half has passed since the last round of the Spanish Championship and in between, the Spanish riders have been focused on the world championship. But this weekend, the focus will be on the small town of León, Pobladura de las Regueras, where less than a month ago we were enjoying
Trialworld School
of a course with almost 80 motorcycles.
It is a place with places worth admiring, with very steep areas, techniques, with little grip and with its usual river areas that after the recent rains we have had you will find some areas with abundant water.
For the organization of the race there will be the usual help of the mayor of the town, Titos, and the organization by the Pobladura R Sports Club, in addition to the support of the Castilian Leonese Motorcycling Federation and the RFME.
On this occasion, all categories will be cited, with a race on Saturday and Sunday. For the Women’s A and B, Youth A and B, Veteran categories and the category created this year exclusively for electric motorcycles, E-Trial, it will be their last event on the national calendar in 2018. On the other hand, for the rest of the categories it is the halfway point of their calendar.
Following the line of race design applied in La Nucía, a total of 22 zones will be marked, which will be distributed according to the categories. In this way, areas with the most accurate marking for each category are achieved, as well as avoiding long waiting times. All the riders will start the race in the indoor area, the same place where they will finish, the rest of the areas will be distributed according to the levels.
The The route to be completed in all categories consists of 12 kilometres, on roads with a lot of dust due to the heat but between the mountains of Pobladura where you can enjoy the views, due to the areas of slopes where you can raise more dust, it is advisable to wear glasses to protect ourselves from the dust.
In addition, fans will also be able to attend, paying as little as €5 when they get their accreditation at the race office on Friday or between zones 1 and 2 during the first day of the race.
There could not be a lack of excitement for this event, and the fact is that the classifications of the Spanish Championship this year are very tight.
TONI BOU RULES IN TR1
Starting in TR1 where Toni Bou is the current leader, after his victory in the first race and third place in the last, he is closely followed by Jeroni Fajardo with only one point difference, who has been seen in the world championship with a lot of strength and focused on the races. Albert Cabestany, third overall, is not far from the dispute as he is only separated by six points and Jaime Busto follows closely behind with four more points. A little further away but winner of the last race in Sigüenza and fifth overall, with a 20-point difference, is Adam Raga, who had to skip the first race due to his injury.
DUEL SUÁREZ – MIQUEL IN TR2
In the TR2 category we also find a dispute for a first place by Pablo Suarez followed very closely with a difference of 4 points by Eric Miquel. Between the third and fourth points there is also a dispute with 1 point difference between the third, Sergio Ribau, and the Norwegian TRS driver, Sondre Haga.
A HARD-FOUGHT NATIONAL
In the Junior category, a distant winner, Pol Mediña, arrives in Pobladura, with victory in the last two races. And a fight for second place of only 1 point between the second, Pau Martínez, followed by Rodrigo Marchal.
In the TR3 category, David Millán dominates, with two victories in the first races, separated by 16 points from Ignacio Martin.
