SUPER SOYER
A superb feeder championship to the main class, this year it revolved around two riders: Alycia Soyer (TRRS-FRA) and Alessi Baccheta (GASGAS-ITA). Small in stature but huge on ability, Soyer won four rounds, giving her the advantage, with Baccheta taking the other two. As Alessi Baccheta won the final round, Soyer had a touch of the nerves, but the fourth-place finish was enough to take the title. The sections in this class are all at a level that allows riders to have the introduction to the FIM Trial World Championship and enjoy it. Great Britain’s Sophia Bailey (TRRS-GBR) committed to contest the full six rounds and, with some inspired riding, learnt so much at every round. The whole atmosphere of the world championship experience and the crowds took some adjusting, but she was in the mix at all six rounds, giving it her best. The championship needs more support, so if you are considering committing, speak with Sophia Bailey, and she will tell you how much she has enjoyed it!
