May 6, 201115 yr As the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) celebrates its centenary this week, there has been much talk about the nostalgia and history surrounding this World famous event and rightly so. However, equally important it is also a good moment to think about the future of this great competition and to look towards the next hundred years of the SSDT taking place in the Scottish Highlands. The continued flow of new and young riders to the SSDT will be at the heart of the rolling story, and this week has once again confirmed the importance of this event with two of the current best young riders in the World fighting it out for the newcomers award. With a long route each day, more traditional style sections and no-stop rules the SSDT is a far cry from today's FIM Trial World Championship, but these differences have been fully embraced and enjoyed by Alfredo Gomez - Montesa and Jack Sheppard - Beta.
