Nobody of these three champions won in the final round held in Brezova, Czech Republic: they used their important lead acquired previously to reach their goal. To climb the highest step of podium in the championship class was Spanish Francesc Moret (Montesa) , almost a veteran attending this category, always in the top positions. Marcelli arrived just behind him and ahead of an other country mate, Aniol Gelabert (Scorpa) who, thanks this performance, climbed to the third place in the final standings. Vice-campion Italian Gianluca Tournour (Gas Gas) ,today only in fourth position. Still a victory for French  Kieran Touly (Scorpa) in the Junior class but Mempor yielded

Trial European Championship: day 1 Andrea Sofia Rubino Norwegian Ingveig Hakonsen (TRRS) and Spanish Pau Martinez (Vertigo) are the first 2019 European champions in Women and Youth's classes. Last round was held  in a nice forest near in Brezova, North-West of Czech Republic. If the Youth title got by Martinez was quite expected and he caught it arriving second behind British Jack Dance (Gas Gas), on the contrary it was a bit surprising that Hakonsen beat her rival Italian Alex Brancati (Beta) in the final standing, just  for the discriminant of having got the best performance in this race, the last one. Hakonsen won today starting soon strongly: she cleaned the whole first lap and lost 3 marks in the second one. Brancati finished in fourth, having collected two fives:  one n each lap. Her score was 5 and 6. Between the two protagonists of this championship, German Vivian Wachs

Trial European Championship: day2 in France Andrea Soulier Spanish Gabriel Marcelli (Montesa) , French Kieran Touly (Scorpa) and Italian Andrea Soulier (Beta) ruled in Ancelle, France, FIM Europe Trial Championship, round # 3. Being too stressed the last year champion and leader until this round, Matteo Grattarola (Sembenini Nils Redmoto Montesa), decided to have a rest to prepare himself better for the hot final in the world championship and did not take part in this event.  So the battle with his number one rival both in the world and European series has been postponed in September. Marcelli thanked and won easily scoring 3 and one point in the two laps. More interesting the challenge for the positions behind him. It was an Italian matter, between 2015 European champion Gianluca Tournour (Gas Gas) and Lorenzo Gandola (Vertigo). Both scored 10 points in the first lap, then the former improved to 8,

Between the Women, Hakonsen broke the consecutive wins of Italian Alex Brancati (Beta) – who grabbed the runner-up position – riding at high level and limiting her mistakes. She led from the beginning, dropping 12 and 13 marks in the two loops. On the other side Brancati suffered the pressure in the first lap, ended only in fourth

Trial European Championship: Grattarola, Mempor and Soulier rule in Monza Matteo Grattarola Matteo Grattarola (Sembenini Nils Redmoto Montesa), Marco Mempor (Beta) and Andrea Soulier (Beta) the “quickest” into the Monza circuit! It seems a paradox but the second round of this Trials season was real organized inside the famous racetrack of Monza. It was already happened 20 years ago for a round of the Italian championship. Then environmentalists protested for what the trial bikes damaged in this huge green park. The Moto Club Monza had to pay fines, so any further organization was discouraged. Only now after this long period, the Trials was back in this wonderful place, with many attentions, hoping to start a new era. Of course a lot of sections were indoor-style but the loop was short and being the admission free, we finally saw more spectators willing to watch the event. Marco Mempor In the Championship

Nevertheless the rain dropped the day before, a warm sunny day welcomed the 74 riders split in 4 classes. In the twos that count for the championship both winners one week ago confirmed themselves with strong performances. Pau Martinez Martinez did not dominate as in Pietramurata, because he found in British Jack Dance (Gas Gas) a convincing opponent. Only one point separated Martinez from Dance

Trial European Championship: the second round in Monza One week after the first round  of the  2019 FIM Europe Trials Championship, here is soon the second one, inside the famous racetrack of Monza: a championship that seems not knowing any crisis. More than 150 riders populated the venue of Pietramurata and more or less the same are expected to attend this two-day event. As happened in the last week-end on Saturday the competition is reserved to Women and Youths, while on Sunday there will be riders belonging to Championship, Junior and Over 40 classes.

In the main class, former champion Grattarola, despite of his age, kept behind the long list of hardened aspirants, all younger than him. Smooth difference at the end: just one point less than Gabriel Marcelli (Montesa), 14 against 15 that means these two's had an unbelievable riding on the 15 sections to be repeat twice. In third, but leader at the turning point, Ariol Gelabert (Scorpa), who fought with the mentioned two's  until three sections from the end. Failing section 13, he finished a bit distant scoring 21 points, but the situation was on a razor's edge for the whole competition.
