JOSH ROPER
Trial2 - 31st
“The TrialGP in La Nucia was definitely
a difficult, yet fun event!! Due to all
the sections being on hillsides, loose
terrain, and step rocks eventually led
me to a poor finish. I’m not too sad
about my riding due to the fact that I
know the European riders are a whole
another step above me but I could
have finished way better if I could have
made it through section 1 and 15 both
times. They were sections I knew I could
make it through but unfortunately luck
was not on my side and I could have
made top 20 if I made it through those
sections but that just goes to show how
competitive Trial GP2 really is. I really
took this trial as a chance to view the
European riders techniques and to see
how they compete so I can take it back
with me to America to train like them.
I would like to give a big thank you to
everyone who helped get everything
organized to ride this event and
everyone at the event that helped us
out! Big shout out to Nigel Parker who
helped minded for me.” - Josh
