Women's
Team to compete at 2008 Trials des Nations
Motorcycling Australia has
announced that a Women’s Team will be sent to represent
Australia at the 2008 Trial Des Nations in La Rabass, Andorra.
The Des Nations takes place on 28 September,
and this will be the first time that an Australian Women’s
Team will be officially recognised as part of the event.
Trevor Bennett from the MA Moto Trials
Commission admitted that the decision to send an Australian
Team for the event was an important step forward for women
Moto Trial riders in this country, and is confident that
the team which is sent will be successful.
“To get an acknowledgement from
MA, and for us to get over there in an official capacity
is certainly ground-breaking,” he said.
“The girls have been putting in
tremendous efforts this year – more than perhaps
in previous years because there was the chance that they’d
be going.
“I am very confident that the team
will be a lot more competitive than other people are giving
us credit for.”
Applications to be one of the three riders
on the Australian Team are now open– as to are applications
to go to Andorra as the Women’s Team Manager.
Application forms can be downloaded from www.ma.org.au/womenstdn,
