The national Classic Trial started this past weekend in the interior of the province of Valencia. The town of Castielfabib made its debut in a Spanish Cup competition and did so with a very good note. The zones were prepared according to the levels of the categories and the almost 70 registered went home very happy.
The Motoclub Rincón de Ademuz was in charge of carrying out the test that had two days of competition with independent scoring.
Hard-fought victories
In some categories the victory was very close as the riders who led the classification were very even in points. On Saturday and in the Classics, José Ramón Martínez and José Enrique Romero tied at 3 penalties, although it was the Honda rider who won. Joaquim Lara closed out the top three with just one more point. In Experts, Oscar Mill was the best with 3, followed by Diego Urreta with 7 and Joan Sole with 23.
Everything was very tight in Pre-75 Yellows with a three-way tie between the top three. Víctor Beltrán, José Emilio Palencia and Rafael Asins were the protagonists. Something similar happened in Pre-80 Verdes when Roberto Mendibil and Mike Antequera added the same penalties on their card, 5. Jose Gabriel Dasi finished third with 8.
