What was the worst bike you ever owned?
The problem is …..for sure in 2001 was a problem with the gearbox, but not for the bike generally. The bike who have no problems but was not very good was the 1995 one.

Did you prefer Indoor or Outdoor?
It’s a different situation. One is one race of 5 hours and another is 10 minutes. One has incredible public and the other no, it’s different. For the terrain and the riding I prefer outdoor for the riding. But riding the Barcelona Indoor Trial with 15000 people all looking was also good, different.

You rode over some incredible large, sharp and dangerous indoor obstacles with huge drop offs. Did you ever get scared?
Yes …many times. It was necessary to go but always in France, in France many times, indoor. Indoors in France was not difficult but dangerous because you go very up with no safety and always in France was dangerous.

Was this in France when all of the riders signed a petition and went to the FIM and said “we the riders are not going to rider the trial “?
Yes, it was in France yes. In this time all of the riders thinks this and I was the man to speak with the FIM because I was the World Champion for the year before, only for this, all the riders agree on this same question. I don’t remember all about my years in the trial, but I remember a lot about many situations. thank you marc colomer |
