Friday, Saturday and Sunday of last week, , the Gas Gas has raised its latest prestigious result in the World Trial Championships in La Chatre (France), for the 2013 Trial des Nations.
In La Chatre FG Gas Gas Italy’s men of and those of the Gas Gas Factory finished the hard work and a long and strenuous season engaged in the respective companies and in various trips around the world ; this great commitment has helped the company Gas Gas to achieve the titles: Junior World Champion and Vice World Pro Champion.

Captained by his tireless owner, Claudio Favro and Chief Technician, Andrea Tron, FG has amalgamated a working group of men of different nationalities: Italian, Spanish, French and English. They were figures prepared and competent and in a short time they have become a point of reference for the paddock and to all owners of motorcycles of the brand Catalano.

- title of World Champion in the Junior category, won by young Jorge Casales

"It 's been a great workteam! " - Favro said Sunday evening at the end of the 3 days of competition. "Despite the time of economic recession, which sadly involves all the companies , the my commitment of and that of all members of the team has never failed; but I would like to thank the people who have believed in Gas Gas from the beginning in our work and have made possible the realization : first, the President of the Gas Gas Motos, Mr. Ramon Puente and then all the sales staff of GG. they have not feared the economic uncertainty of the time and have continued to invest resources consciously on competition and on our professionalism. This is a significant financial commitment , but essential, because races, especially the World Championships, are considered the most authoritative showcase for the Racing product; for promotion it is also very important the support of pilot relief in major shopping areas for Trial, like France, Italy, Spain and England. For this commitment I extend my personal thanks to the workers GG and sponsors who have made this possible. Thanks also to all pilots for their skill, seriousness and professionalism that have been shown throughout the season. And finally I thank the technicians of FG , GG Company and all the people who have lived with me in this winning year. I shared in the paddock the anxieties and hopes of big men; they have always done a good team and to obtain these results they have not spared hours of work, nor commitment , because the successes , you know, you never get it by accident!
