In beautiful sunshine at the picturesque setting of the foothills of the Italian alps the UEM EUROPEAN Championships for ladIes and youth reached there climax in this third round in Villar Pellice not far from Turin. Predictable Laia Sanz 1 beat Iris Kramer 11 for top spot followed not so far behind by Becky Cook on 18 and Maria Conway with 19ml. This podium was exactly the same as the championship result. On the harderYouth 125 route the faultless display of Alexz Wigg riding every section clean was simply world class and ensured his second successive European Championship in devastating style. After section inspection on Friday afternoon the riders asked for the sections to be toughned up which resulted in losses for all of Alexzs rivals by section two. The decisive section four halfway up the mountain where only Alexz and Ross Danby cleaned in style settled any remaining nerves Alexz had and from then onwards it was a case of no mistakes and the trial was won. Easier said than done as many of the sections were big rocks and tricky turns which caught many of the top riders for odd dabs and occasional 5's. Section 9 was big with Alexz succumbing to an unusual sumping out which he recovered quickly with no loss, Danby and Andrews cleaned also with style. At the end of lap one Wigg O Gomez 5 Danby 7 Liotard 9 Andrews 1O. The second lap was not a formality as with the severity of the sections and the relatively low scoring it was there to be lost for Alexz. The clean lap and cushion of marks lost seemed to encorage Him to ride with more confidence and after cleaning the tough fourth section for the second time he was totally focussed on cleaning the entire trial. This he did and with it his second UEM championship.

Alexz is obviously on his way back from Italy so he has had no chance to read everyones kind comments, he does go on the board regularly and I know all the kind comments are always much appreciated. Be in no doubt he and his family have worked very hard for these two championships.
