DIRT NEWS
time now . I have always loved trial and to have the possibility to return with GASGAS it ’ s just perfect . “ Eight years have gone by since my last TrialGP season so obviously I have lost some of my ability , but I feel good and I ’ m getting more and more comfortable with the bike each day .” “ Having Laia back in trials is great news , not only for the whole GASGAS team but also for the sport of trials ,” says GASGAS Factory Racing Trial Team Manager , Albert Cabestany . “ It ’ ll be great to have someone who can challenge Emma Bristow , which will be exciting for the sport . All the team is excited to welcome her , and she ’ s really excited about this new chapter in her racing career . Laia is ambitious but she ’ s conscious that she has been out of trials for some years . She has been practicing a lot , but nothing compared to the riders who have been focusing 100 percent on trial during the last years . Her level was really high in the past and as we say , ‘ once a trials rider , always a trials rider ’. Her main challenge will be to sharpen her skills with not too much time to prepare . We have seen Laia do some amazing things during her career so I ’ ve no doubt that she ’ ll be able to be successful once again .” The 2021 TrialGP season kicks off in Italy , on June 11 .
