Page 10- Interview with Francesc Tarres + meet Pol and Jordi's father at home.
When Jordi started to ride the trial, did you go with him immediately or what happened?
No, in 1989 I start to go with Jordi. The first time he ride the World Trial, Jordi not with me. Jordi first win in the World Trials in 1987. He came 11th in 1985, 4th in 1986 and in 1987 was Jordi’s first World championship win. This was a good time. He came 2nd the next year. After this he was 3 years in a row. In the early years they were sleeping in a van. Then later it became more comfortable in a motorhome. The team had bought this lorry. When Jordi starts to earn money they have to invest to pay less taxes to the State, so they made a leasing deal for the truck and created a big structure that helps them to save tax money and go better to the trials.
