By TMX Archives on 21st Jul 08
The ACU's Trials and Enduro Committee are pleased to announce the ACU's Team GB Women's Trials Des Nations members taking part in the event at La Rabassa, Andorra on 28th/29th September 2008.
'Des Nations record breakers Becky Cook, Donna Fox and Maria Conway will be attempting to achieve a third consecutive victory in the competition after already becoming the first ever to record back to back wins, in 2006 & 2007. With Becky currently lying 2nd in the Women's Trial World Championship, Maria 4th and Donna 5th they will once again be favourites to lift the title and complete an incredible hat-trick.
John Collins, Chairman, ACU Trials and Enduro Committee said, "I am incredibly proud of the Team's achievements in 2006 and 2007 and confident they can break their own record once more. The ladies coped superbly with the added pressure of defending their title in the Isle of Man last year, I'm sure they will be determined to create history once more. It is very rewarding to look at the World Championship table and see yet another ACU licence holder, young Emma Bristow, aged 17, also in the top six, next year's Team selection may be very difficult!”
The Men's Team will be decided after the British Experts Trial at Carlisle on 26th July 2008.
