2015 European Championship Round 1

fim europeWith the European Ladies and Youths Championships kicking off yesterday, it was the turn of the main FIM Europe Trial Championship event today, again hosted in Pietramurata in Italy. Perhaps unsurprisingly as they always score well at their home rounds, it was an Italian on top of the podium in the form of Gianluca Tournour - Gas Gas, but only just as he came out tops in a tie-break with France's Steven Coquelin - Gas Gas. The remaining podium spot went to Francesc Moret of Spain on the new Vertigo, three points adrift of the top two.

 

It wasn't a great day for British riders, but looking at the entry list, there are some good and well experienced riders taking part this year so competition was always going to be tough. Best Brit was Dan Peace - Gas Gas who finished in ninth position just one place ahead of Iwan Roberts - Beta in tenth.
