The Spanish Classic Trials National Championship kicks off successfully in Valencia
The Classic Trials National Championship has kicked off very successfully in Valencia
The Classic Trials National Championship got underway last weekend in Castielfabib, Valencia, where we witnessed the start of this 2020 season over two very intense days of competition. In some categories the victory was hotly contested, as the riders leading the standings were neck and neck on points. On Saturday, in Clásicos, José Ramón Martínez and José Enrique Romero tied on 3 penalties, although it was Honda who won. Joaquim Lara closed out the top three, just one point further back. In Expertos, Oscar Mill was the best with 3, followed by Diego Urreta with 7 and Joan Sole with 23.
Everything was very tight in Pre-75 Amarillos, with a three-way tie among the top three. Víctor Beltrán, José Emilio Palencia and Rafael Asins were the protagonists. Something similar happened in Pre-80 Verdes, when Roberto Mendibil and Mike Antequera both racked up the same penalties on their card, 5. José Gabriel Dasi finished third with 8.
Finally, in Trialeros things were not as closely fought, and Bertrán Martínez-Peñalver won with a total of 3 points. Fernando Cabré came second with 7 and José María Martínez third with 8.
On Sunday the script was the same, although in some categories there were different winners compared with Saturday. In Clásicas, José Enrique Romero (0) took the chequered flag with a perfect trial, followed by Manuel Rull (1) and Enric Lluis Blaya (1). In Expertos, Oscar Mill (2) won again, while Diego Urreta (3) and Joan Sole (10) once again had to settle for second and third place, respectively.
In Pre-75 Amarillos the standings did change. José María Martínez (2) took the victory, Rafael Asins (3) came second and José Emilio Palencia (3) third. José Gabriel Dasi (1) stood out above the rest in Pre-80 Verdes. Roberto Mendibil (7) finished second and Mike Antequera (7) third. Fernando Cabré, José María Martínez and Carlos Varade were the protagonists in Trialeros with 1, 2 and 2 points, respectively.
