Here is a translation VALENTIN REQUENA: GIVE US AN ANALYSIS OF THE FIRST THREE RACES OF THE WORLD TRIAL AND WHY THIS RESULT
JT: THE FIRST ROUND WAS IN SPAIN, AND BECAUSE THIS I WAS VERY NERVOUS. I WOULD HAVE WON BUT I HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BIKE AND I COULDN'T . BUT I THINK 3RD AT THE START OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS GOOD. THE SECOND ROUND WAS IN UK. I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT, BECAUSE STEVE SAUNDERS, MY RIVAL, IS ENGLISH. BUT AT THE END, THE TRIAL WAS WEIRD. WE NEVER DID A TRIAL LIKE IT. I DID 4TH,IT WAS A BAD RESULT FOR ME AND IT’S NOT NORMAL UNTIL NOW THE RESULTS WEREN’T SO GOOD BUT, AT LEAST, NOT SO BAD THE WORSE WAS IN IRELAND. I WAS RIDING SO GOOD, BUT IN AN EASY ZONE EVERYBODY DID 0 AND I MADE 15!!!. HERE I LOOSE THE TRIAL, BECAUSE IT WAS SO EASY, BUT SO DIFFICULT FOR ME VALENTIN REQUENA: DO YOU THINK MICHAUD HAS NEW BLOOD? JT: I THINK MICHAUD HAS A VERY STRONG MOTIVATION DUE HE WON THE FIRST ROUND. I HOPE NEXT ROUNDS WILL BE BETTER FOR ME. FOR EXAMPLE LUXEMBURG AND GERMANY ARE NEUTRAL ROUNDS, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A TOP TRIAL (PILOT) IN IT. SO I HOPE THERE I CAN GET A GOOD RESULT VALENTIN REQUENA: DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN AGAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP? JT: IT’S NOT EASY. MICHAUD HAS 19 MORE POINTS THAN ME. ANYWAY, IF THE RACES BEGIN TO GO BETTER FOR ME, FOR EXAMPLE NEXT WEEK IN LUXEMBOURG, I AM ABLE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP BECAUSE IT’S 9 RACES TO THE FINISH. |
