This weekend took place the Andorran Trial World Championship Outdoor. This championship in two days, consisted of two laps of a circuit of 18 zones and took place in a difficult terrain: the mountains of Andorra filled with large stone steps. High temperatures also added extra difficulty.
OSSA riders show a high level during this 2 days, especially Sandra Gomez who earned two podium positions. She was second on the first day, with a great performance that continued the next day where she was third with only three points from the second, Rebekah Cook. Perfectionist Sandra said: "I tried to make each zone as well as the first one and following giving my maximum, but a second place and a third on Sunday are positive and reflect that we are doing the work well. Now we have to analyze the weekend and train as we have committed to reach 100% in the next race. I think this year we can fight to be on top but it is a hard job to do. Thanks to the OSSA team who has done a good job in a difficult race as Andorra ".
Theresa Bäulm had a great performance too, with a seventh place and tenth place on this 2 days, competing on a TR125i OSSA against opponents who rode on 300cc, 280cc and 250cc.
In the Junior Championship, Matteo Poli performed well on the first day, staying at the door of the podium with a fourth place, and finishing seventh the next day. Håkon Pedersen was tenth and eleventh on final day.
Jonathan Richardson, the British OSSA rider was in progress during the two days, being seventh on first day and fifth in the second one, not without controversy, as five points were added retrospectively by touching a tree, which would have achieved the fourth place in the final count where he was tied with Francesc Moret.
Richardson: "Thanks to Joan Gurt, Alex Ballesta, Xavier Membrives, Jordi Mera and the whole team OSSA for all the help and support of this weekend. I regret the outcome. I put five points more after finishing the trial by touching a tree in Section 15, but I only had scored a point on the card ... so in my second round should have had 14 points, not 18, so I lost the fourth position.
