The Motorcycling Queensland subcommittee, organisers
of this year’s Sherco Motorcycles 2010 Australian Moto-Trials Championships,
are pleased to announce the launch of a dedicated website for this year’s
event.
The site, which can be accessed from http://www.ma.org.au/2010mototrialschamps will be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for competitors, spectators, media, event
organisers and any other person interested in the Championship.
Head of the Organising Committee for the 2010
Moto-Trials Championship, Robert Eyres, was thrilled with the new site and what
it will mean for the event.
“We are extremely fortunate to have been able to tap
into the expertise of staff from Motorcycling Queensland and Motorcycling
Australia to bring this site to life,” Eyres said.
“It’s a fantastic way to keep everyone - from
competitors and spectators, to sponsors, media and the general public
up-to-date with what’s happening with this year’s event.”
And what a fantastic event it will be! With three
separate Moto-Trials events set to take place across what is being referred to
as ‘Queensland Trials Week’.
The first event is the ‘big one’ - the Sherco
Motorcycles 2010 Australian Moto-Trials Championships, being held at Thunderbird Park
on Queensland’s
beautiful Gold Coast hinterland on the weekend of 21-22 August.
Queensland riders such as Boyd Willcocks (Open Solo
class), brothers, Tom and James Wager (Junior class) and Paul Moore (Veterans
class) will be looking to keep as many of the National Championships titles as
possible in the Sunshine State.
Riders interested in nominating to compete at this
truly unique venue, who haven’t entered should head to http://www.ma.org.au/2010mototrialschamps and download the Supplementary Regulations and Entry Forms from the Event Information section. Entries close
last mail Friday 6 August.
Then on Wednesday 25 August the Western Districts
Moto-Trials Club will be hosting a ‘Gate Trial’ at Rob
Wager’s Esk property (approximately two hours West of
Brisbane).
A Gate Trial is a unique style of Trials event where
all grades can compete against each other in the same sections.
The idea is to score as many points as possible by
riding through pairs of arrows that define a ‘Gate’.
The rider decides their own line, which ultimately
dictates the number of points they score.
The week culminates with the Queensland Indoor Trials
event, which will be held at the Carrara Sports Complex, a 20 minutes drive
from the Gold Coast.
This two day event carries Queensland Championship
status and will be held on 28-29 August.
As more information comes to hand regarding all of
these events it will be posted on http://www.ma.org.au/2010mototrialschamps.
