The MásGas moto-club will once again organize the Maeztu 2015 classic trial for the seventh consecutive year. It will be held on April 25 and 26, considering that it is an ideal date because in addition to not coinciding with any regional or state classic trial, there are more chances that the weather will be good and there is a lower accumulation of tests. Nationally recognized for the balanced level, the incomparable landscape, the organizational quality and the varied terrain with stone and earth of which the areas are made up makes it a must-try event in the classics calendar. This year the Maeztu Classics Trial is also the first scoring event for the Sotobike Classics Trophy, which also includes the Ripoll, Los Angeles de San Rafael and Robregordo trials, in what promises to be a trophy of the highest quality for the enjoyment of all.
As in the previous edition, The trial will be held over two days, Saturday and Sunday. Every day The trial will consist of 20 sections, which will be carried out in a single lap of the 20km long course. The areas will be of great beauty and of purely classical style, making the most of the excellent terrain around Maeztu for the practice of Trial. The route will run between the towns of Maeztu and Sabando. The refuelling of the bike and rider is planned at the halfway point of the race, for which the riders will have to deposit a jerry can with fuel at the beginning of each day in the paddock. The paddock will be located in the town of Maeztu as in past editions.
As we did last year, the prizes will be awarded at the end of the day of the second day so that those who have to make a long return trip can attend and get home early. There will also be additional activities around the trial. On the Saturday after the trial, a snack will be organized for all the riders and companions in the Izki bar.
SCORING & CATEGORIES
In this new edition we will continue with the classic scoring system of classic trials, in which one foot equals one point. In other words, there will be no coefficients or equipment. The zones will have as usual three levels of difficulty: Blue, Green and Yellow, making them accessible to all pilots. You will be able to participate in the trial both as classic bikes, as well as with post-classic bikes (motorcycles that may have monoshock or disc brakes, but always air-cooled).
In total there will be six categories as follows:
1) Pre 75 Level Yellow Pre-1975 Classic Bikes
2) Classics Yellow Level Classic & Post-Classic Bikes*
3) Classics +50 Yellow Level Classic & Post-Classic Bikes*
4) Pre 80 Green Level Pre-1980 Classic Bikes
5) Green Level Trialists Classic & Post-Classic Bikes *
6) Experts Blue Level Classic & Post-Classic Bikes*
(*) Riders participating with Post-Classic bikes will have a handicap of 5 additional penalty points each day.
The areas will be marked with the criterion of making a trial accessible to everyone, to enjoy the classic trial to the fullest, and always avoiding passes that may involve some danger. In particular, in the yellow level, we will try to simplify the areas so that all riders can enjoy the weekend to the fullest, taking into account that in this level riders with older bikes tend to participate and also riders who participate in trials occasionally, or who did so years ago but have not done so for a long time. On Saturday morning technical checks will be carried out in accordance with the technical regulations of the event, which will be similar to those applied in the Spanish Cup of classics.

MOTORCYCLE FOLLOWERS
It will be possible to follow the trial on a trial bike for fans who register as followers, which can be done on Saturday or Sunday before the start of the race in the paddock. The cost of registering as a follower is €20 for one day or €30 for both days and will give the right to follow the race, to use the refuelling and the paddock to store the bike, to the pintxos for refreshments, to the post-trial lunch, etc. It must be taken into account that the permits granted by the provincial council, etc. are limited to the performance of the trial, so it is important that those who want to follow it on a motorcycle do so by registering in the test as a follower.
THE MOUNTAINS OF ÁLAVA AND VITORIA
As many of you have seen in previous years, in our area you can practice the Gastro-Trial; Apart from the gastronomic offerings of Maeztu and the area, Vitoria is a 20-minute drive away. In addition, this year Vitoria-Gasteiz has been declared the gastronomic capital of Spain, so all the more reason to confirm that, as some say, trial is fattening.
