The opening round of the 2009 European Ladies championship took place last weekend in Krzeszowice, Poland. The 12-section course was tight and technical on rocks and steep banks. It had rained the previous day making the first lap quite slippery but drying out for the second lap. MRS BVM Sherco rider, Becky Cook put in a good ride to start the championship. Becky’s first lap score of six, included some slack dabs, but a good ride on the most difficult eleventh put her in second position, five marks behind Laia Sanz and two marks in front of Iris Kramer. Becky set out more confident and relaxed on the second lap and this showed as she proceeded to clean everything except the tough eleventh, where just the one mark was lost. Her second lap score of one was equal to Laia, who finished the trial on two marks lost, Becky maintained second spot on seven, with Iris finishing third on fifteen. Becky’s next competition is this weekend at round two of the British Ladies championship. |
