ANDORRA • SANT JULIA

-

17/18 JUNE

TRIALGP • TRIAL2 • TRIAL125 Another regular stop for the TrialGP series, this year’s excursion to the mountainou­s principali­ty of Andorra comes just a week before the TrialGP France and is therefore ideally suited for those fans who want to take in two events over back-toback weekends. Fly into Barcelona or Toulouse airport before making the scenic transfer to this stunning location. The steep-sided, huge rocky valley that defines the southern part of Andorra is the backdrop for one of the most unforgivin­g venues in the calendar. High altitude, hot weather and super-gruelling sections have earned Andorra its tough reputation and are a real test for even the top riders. Whilst most of the sections are grouped close together high on the hillside the town centre of Sant Julia will house the paddock/start area and the opening/closing section which will also be used for Saturday’s qualificat­ion. With plenty of well-priced hotels close to hand and the added bonus of being able to pick up some tax-free gifts, Andorra is well worth a visit.
