INDOOR TRIAL OF ST. PETERSBURG - BAD LUCK FOR CABESTANY
14 February 2005 - Sherco
Albert Cabestany was not able to secure a podium for the first time this year.
After five consecutive podiums for Albert and Sherco he failed to make the final for the first time in the 2005 Indoor Championship. Albert suffered a failure in the second section to void his chance to make the final. His left hand came off of the handlebar which gave him a five in a section that was not excessively difficult and he was not able to recover in the remainder of the sections. Albert was further damaged by the riding order, he followed Blazusiak and Freixa who had failures in the sections and did not show the Sherco rider the optimum line to ride. The difficult waterfall section was one in particular where it would have been an advantage to be able to follow a rider who rode the optimum line. The Sherco rider did not advance to the final for the first time this year despite the fact that he cleaned the remaining sections after the waterfall. Albert Cabestany: ''It was very warm in the Sports Arena and I suppose that my left hand was soaked in sweat, it came off or the bar when I made a strong effort in the section. It is just a case of bad luck, I am confident that I would have made the final except for that incident. In any case I am still in second place overall and there is another event next week''.
