ALBERT CABESTANY GAINS GROUND IN THE WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP
23 February 2007 - Sherco

The spectacular end of the 2006 season for Albert Cabestany carried over into the battle for the Spanish Indoor Championship, which saw him emerge as the overall champion, however his good fortune did not continue as he started the 2007 campaign.

An unfortunate failure of a titanium suspension bolt caused him to DNF the first race of the indoor season, which was held in Granada. This failure along with the bad finish he obtained in Barcelona made it look like the possibility of winning or even placing high in the overall standings was going to be very hard. In spite of these unfortunate incidents, Albert has managed to recover most of the ground lost with his consistent finishes and especially his first place in the recent Trial which was held in Milan. He now is in a position to mount a challenge for the lead, although Toni Bou has a lead that will be very hard to overcome; Albert does however have the distinct possibility of being able to at least finish second in the overall standings with two rounds left in the championship.

Cabestany dedicated his triumph in Milan to its daughter, who was born recently. This victory confirms once again that he is one of the best riders in the World Trials competition. And marks him as one of the main contenders for the outdoor championship which starts in March in Cordoba.

Albert Cabestany recupera terreno en el mundial indoor
El espectacular fin de temporada 2006 que realizó Albert Cabestany, el cual le llevó a la conquista del título de campeón de España indoor, no ha tenido continuidad en este inicio de la campaña 2007. La desafortunada rotura de un tornillo de titanio en la prueba inaugural del mundial en pista cubierta disputada en Granada, unida al discreto resultado en Barcelona, le han restado posibilidades de cara a la lucha por el título. A pesar de ello Cabestany ha recuperado de nuevo su mejor pilotaje y se impuso en el pasado Trial Indoor de Milán, resultado con el cual se coloca en disposición de luchar por el subcampeonato, ya que el líder del certamen, Toni Bou se encuentra destacado al frente de la tabla y cuando tan solo quedan 2 pruebas por disputar, la diferencia existente es prácticamente irrecuperable. Cabestany dedicó su triunfo en Milán a su hija, nacida recientemente, y vuelve a colocarse en el primer plano del trial mundial tanto en pista cubierta, así como uno de los principales protagonistas de la temporada outdoor que empieza a principios de marzo en Córdoba.
