‘ two new signings will compete in an exciting and ambitious project under the direction of four-time World Champion, Marc Colomer.
Torrot, owner of GasGas, has unveiled this afternoon in Bilbao its renewed and ambitious commitment to the 2018 season of the
Trial World Championship
, in which it will have the stellar signings of Jaime Busto and Jeroni Fajardo as riders of the GasGas Trial Factory Team. A structure once again led by the experience of Marc Colomer, who repeats at the head of the team as team manager of the formation.
The four-time World Champion once again puts all his sporting knowledge at the service of the GasGas Trial Factory Team. An official squad that undergoes a profound transformation for next season, in which it bets on the talent of the young Jaime Busto and the experience of Jeroni Fajardo to take a big step forward in its aspirations in the fight for the X-Trial and TrialGP World Championship -formerly known as indoor and outdoor, respectively- and also in the Spanish Trial Championship, in the TR1 category.
Jaime Busto
and
Jeroni Fajardo
will make their debut with the Torrot sports team on Sunday 3rd in the Vendée (France), at the controls of the exclusive and competitive Gas
Gas TXT GP 300
. Busto, a young talent from Górliz, 20 years old, will make his debut for the first time wearing the colors of GasGas. Fajardo, the experienced 32-year-old rider from Girona, will return a decade later to compete with the brand that accompanied him at the beginning of his sporting career in the discipline of trial.
After the presentation of Torrot in Bilbao, a wink of complicity of the brand to the incorporation of the young Biscayan Jaime Busto to the team, the GasGas Trial Factory Team will travel directly to France, where this coming weekend the 2018 X-Trial World Championship will start. Vendée will host the earliest event of the indoor world championships which, on this occasion, brings forward its start by almost a month, to December 3.
MARC COLOMER:
“The incorporation of Jaime Busto and Jeroni Fajardo to the GasGas Trial Factory Team demonstrates the will of Torrot and GasGas to return to the front line of the Trial World Championship, both indoor and outdoor. Jaime will turn 20 next week. He is a young rider with a very promising future. While Jeroni has a lot of experience and has always been at the top of the World Cup. Together they form a well-rounded team. GasGas’ goal is to become World Champions again as soon as possible. We know that it is currently a difficult challenge, as Toni Bou has been the great dominator of this speciality during the last few seasons. We are aware of the difficulty that this entails, but that is also the motivation that pushes us to improve to fight for victory”.
JAIME BUSTO:
“I am very happy and motivated to face this season with the GasGas team thanks to the opportunity that Torrot has given me. This is a new challenge for me. I will have a new bike, which I have always wanted to ride, and to which I have adapted very well. Also to a new team, with a very good atmosphere. I’m really looking forward to the World Cup; The feeling with the GasGas TrialGP is very good and the team is very happy with this new project. We’re going to do our best to be as high up as possible, first in the X-Trial World Championship and, from May, in the TrialGP World Championship.”
JERONI FAJARDO:
“I’m very motivated with the start of this season. We have a new bike and team and my goal is to take a step forward in the X-Trial and TrialGP World Championships. This is a change that will allow me to improve a lot over the next two seasons. The GasGas TrialGP is a fantastic bike and we have a great team, so I hope to be able to fight for podium positions in the X-Trial and TrialGP World Championship. I want to thank Torrot for betting on me to be a rider for the GasGas Trial Factory Team.”
