On The Pegs
JERONI FAJARDO
Factory GasGas rider Jeroni Fajardo turned in
a solid performance that led him to finish the
first lap in fourth position. From there, he led an
amazing comeback on the second lap, finishing
second in the final standings.
“I am very happy to have started the TrialGP
World Championship so well. After all that hap-
pened yesterday in the qualifying, it has been a
very difficult day for us. We faced a very tough
trial, under very difficult conditions. Last night it
rained a lot and opening the track is always dif-
ficult, but we never gave up believing that we
could succeed. I did not feel comfortable in the
first lap. We were driving well, but the judges
and the race itself have not allowed us to show
how well we were performing. Despite this, we
have not dropped our guard. We continued to
push, and, thanks to this attitude, the second
round went very well, and we recovered posi-
tions until achieving a final P2. A well fought
second place. I want to thank the whole team
for the effort they have made to get this po-
dium in Italy”.
