SHERCO IS BECOMING ACCUSTOMED TO SUCCESS IN THE ANNUAL TONI SOLER MEMORIAL RACE
17 February 2006 - Sherco

The three official Sherco riders finished near the top of the classification in the largest field ever for the race, Thierry Klutz managed to win a spot on the podium.

A total of 1,075 riders participated in the 8th annual Toni Soler Memorial race, this race is held early each year and is used by many riders as preparation for the coming season. One of the characteristics of this race is that it is always very difficult. In this very difficult race the Sherco name shined very brightly, in that the three official riders finished third, ninth and eleventh. The race is held near the city of Bassella. 30 Km of the race went through an area that was snow covered, this made for a very hard test for the riders and the machines. A great quantity of sticky clay lay under the snow cover which made some sections practically impassable. This area was so difficult that both Thierry Klutz and Michael Vukcevic were in positions to podium. Thierry did manage to finish third behind Xavier Galindo and Arnau Vilanova, but the clay caused a problem with the rear brake on Michaels bike which relegated him to ninth position, just in front of Joan Pedrero who finished 11th. Joan suffered from a bad exit which allowed more than fifty riders to pass him, Joan worked hard and managed to obtain 11th overall.

These results are absolutely fantastic for the men in blue, in one of the hardest races of the season.
