This weekend the fourth round of the SPEA RFME Spanish Trial Championship was held in the town of Ripoll (Girona). Against all odds, the Ripoll Motor Club has fought to carry out this spectacular two-day race, whose development has been exemplary. Spectacular areas thanks to the terrain and, above all, the very high level of marking of each one.
TR1 ADAM RAGA GAINS LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE PROVISIONAL STANDINGS
The Gall Trial has brought strong emotions in all categories, especially in TR1 where Jaime Busto and Adam Raga have shared the victories. The level for this category was not very high, but the riders enjoyed it a lot because the areas were technical, fun and drawn in a magnificent natural setting.
JAIME BUSTO WINS ON SATURDAY
On the first day, the rider from Vertigo was brilliant and although Raga made a second lap almost without mistakes, he could not undo the mistakes of the first, settling for second place. Jorge Casales was in third place.
ADAM RAGA WINS ON SUNDAY
On Sunday, the tables were turned and it was the TRS rider who took the laurels with Casales second and Busto third. With these results, Raga continues to lead the championship, with Casales hot on his heels.
ERIC MIQUEL EMERGES VICTORIOUS AFTER A GREAT DUEL
In TR2 there was also a nice duel throughout the weekend between Eric Miguel, Sergio Ribau and Pau Martinez. Miguel was superior on both days, scoring an epic double.
JUNIOR & TR3
In Junior there were ups and downs among the winners. On Saturday it was Camp who climbed to the top, but on Sunday he dropped to fourth, while Lestang won on Sunday and fell just short of the podium on Saturday. Dinares and Vall did not leave the positions of honour all weekend.
The TR3 category had Francesc Recio as the clear protagonist. The Beta rider was unstoppable all weekend and claimed a double victory. Gabriel Giró was second on both days.
OTHER CATEGORIES
In Cadet 125 it was Hugo Barrera who surprised on the first day with two brand new laps that helped him to achieve a comfortable victory. On Sunday, however, it was Kim Pons who climbed to the top of the podium. In Cadet, the three positions of honour were repeated between Iglesias, first, Piquer, second, and Freixa, third.
In TR4 Mario Juan Greus and Jordi Sanjuan shared the victories and second places, while Adriá Albejano paid for third place. On the other hand, in Juvenil A Xurxo Neo won easily on the first day, but Marcos Combarro won on Sunday. In Juvenil B, Fernando Solórzano achieved a double victory.
WOMEN, VETERANS AND E-TRIAL
The girls were also present in Ripoll. Berta Abellán and Mariana Afonso took the victories in Women’s TR1 and TR3 respectively, while in TR2 Laia PI and Idoia Pey won them one day each. In Veteranos, Serra and Álvarez took the laurels after their time in the Catalan town. The electric category had only one entry: Joan Solé who managed to finish both days.
After this exciting race, there will only be one round of the National Trial and it will be in Cal Rosal on November 15, since the Baiona event has been cancelled.
