Bristow seals final victory of the season
Emma Bristow – Sherco closed out an almost perfect campaign as
she took the final victory of the 2015 FIM Women’s Trial World
Championship at L'Hospitalet de l’Infant, Spain earlier today to
confirm herself a more than worthy winner of the series for the
second year in a row. Having already clinched the title last
Sunday, Bristow looked both relaxed and confident as she rode to
her third triumph of the year, having only been beaten once on
the opening day of the series in the Czech Republic.
Bristow was joined on the podium today by her two compatriots as
Donna Fox – Sherco and Rebekah Cook – Jgas finished second and
third respectively in what was an all British top three. The
runners up spot for Fox marked her best ever result in the
championship and followed on from her third position in Teo last
Sunday to give her third overall in the final standings. In turn
Cook’s rostrum placing today was sufficient for her to secure
second spot in the overall rankings for the second year in
succession.
By the end of the first lap of fifteen sections, which were
ridden twice today, Bristow had already ridden herself clear of
the chasing pack. Losing single marks in hazards eight and
thirteen, Emma posted an opening score of just two marks.
Spain’s Mireia Conde – Beta, who would eventually end the day in
fourth position was the newly crowned champion’s closest threat
at this stage as she parted with five marks on her first tour.
Cook and Fox remained in contention with lap scores of six and
seven respectively.
Clear blue skies and high temperatures added to the occasion
with the initial two section being located on the nearby beach.
The crowd was swelled by local sun bathers before the girls then
headed inland to the nearby hills for the remaining hazards, all
of which could be found in a local dry riverbed. The latter
group of sections proved the most challenging and caused the
majority of the problems, where most of the marks were lost. It
was amongst these natural hazards where Bristow made her only
real mistake of the day as she fived section seven on her second
visit. Despite this slight blot on an otherwise solid day for
the 2015 FIM Women’s Trial World Champion, Emma still ran out
the winner on the day by six clear marks.
Fox produced an inspired closing performance to match her early
lap score and to snatch second place on the day from Cook. Cook
in contrast doubled her tally on her final lap, compared to her
first lap total and as a result of which found herself demoted
to the lower tier of the podium this time out. These two British
riders both did enough to occupy the reverse positions
respectively in the final championship standings as Great
Britain confirmed their dominance of the 2015 FIM Women’s Trial
World Championship.
For the second event in a row Norway’s Mette Fidje – Sherco
recorded an equal career best result as she placed fifth on
twenty five marks to announce herself as a potential front
runner in the future. Germany’s Theresa Bauml – Ossa took sixth,
two marks further back whilst home rider Berta Abellan – Sherco
ended the day in seventh. Ingveig Hakonsen – Beta, Elisabet
Solera – Ossa and Ina Wide – Gas Gas rounded out the top ten for
the last time this season. Wilde’s worst result in the campaign
saw her lose out on a top three place overall, but her fourth
spot in the series was still her best to date. .
With the 2015 FIM Women’s Trial World Championship now complete,
tomorrow will see nine nations battle it out in the FIM Women’s
Trial des Nations which will take place over a similar course in
and around L'Hospitalet de l’Infant.
