as Japan struggled to get to grips with the deterio-
rating conditions and their challenge fell away. Italy
ended the day a distant fifth ahead of Norway and
Germany.
“Yesterday Jaime got injured in the training area,”
says Fajardo, “but this morning we started not so bad
until I strained my back in section three. We were suf-
fering a little bit, but then everything came together
for us.”
With the defending Women’s champions fielding
Sandra Gomez - Gas Gas, Berta Abellan - Vertigo and
Neus Murcia - Beta it was always going to be a fierce
contest with the British Lionesses leading by just five
marks at the halfway stage before pulling clear on
lap two to record a hard-earned twelve-mark victory.
“We definitely pulled together as a team,” says
Bristow. “We’re just so happy and there’s been such a
great team spirit. We’ve worked so well together and
it’s great to get the trophy back.”
Germany’s Theresa Bauml - Montesa, Vivian Wachs
- Gas Gas and Ina Wilde - Gas Gas came home a com-
fortable third ahead of Norway and Italy.
In the Men’s International Trophy it was the Czech
team of Dominik Wunsch - Gas Gas, Martin Mateji-
cek - Gas Gas and Martin Kroustek - TRRS who took a
hugely-popular home win with a comfortable thirty-
eight-mark victory over the United States team of
Patrick Smage - Sherco, Samuel Fastle - Sherco and
Daniel Blanc Gonnet - Gas Gas.
Austria’s Philipp Doeller - Beta, Marco Mempoer
- Beta and Jonas Widschwendter - TRRS took third
while defending champions Australia slipped to a
disappointing sixth behind Belgium and Ireland.
The TDN brought a close to the 2018 TrialGP sea-
son, and marked the second and yet another suc-
cessful season with Sport7 at the helm.
