Once again we have witnessed an exciting weekend of competition, with an outcome to which we are accustomed. Toni Bou’s dominance is getting stronger and stronger and his rivals are unable to get close to his impressive records, which makes us predict that the Piera rider still has some rope left in him. At the same time, Cabestany and Raga are in a nice fight for the runner-up spot, where Fajardo has a very difficult time entering. By the way, it is worth mentioning that Jeroni has given the first World Cup podium to the “new Ossa era”, after beating Raga in the play-off by nil and climbing to the third step in Geneva. There are only two races left, those in Madrid (March 12th) and Milan (March 19th). From there, the riders will leave the angular Indoor areas and head to the natural terrain in the first round of the National, which will take place in Castellolí.
Another highlight of this week is that we have a new collaborator: MX Coach. Fran Delfín is a personal trainer and sports coach who works with elite riders in various specialties, including Trial. We have proposed a series of chapters, very varied, which aim to help you in the preparation that a rider must have when he is not on the bike. They will also help us with decisive aspects such as nutrition, as well as informing us of curious technical data that elite athletes throw.
On the other hand, at the end of last week an interesting forum was opened for debate around the possible direction that the Trial would take after the arrival of the “2T + injection“. There are opinions for all tastes, but it is clear that the reasoning of JM Marlintec, our collaborator, makes perfect sense. In any case, it’s all conjecture until the day in question arrives, but we are sure that it will enrich you and open your mind.
I don’t want to say goodbye without reminding you that we still have active (and will always be) the sections of ” CLASSIC TRIAL IN FIRST PERSON” and “YOUNG PROMISES OF TRIAL”. To participate in both, you just have to contact us in this email and we will tell you the procedure. We will be happy to have your story and photographs.
Greetings and Happy Week
