Although there is some confusion on exactly when the Scottish Six Days Trial began — some say it began in 1909, some say 1910 and others say 1911 — there is no question that SSDT is one of those bucket list legendary events, especially for Trials riders like Josh Roper from Arizona and Californian Daniel Blanc-Gonnet. GASGAS cameras followed the two visiting Americans at the event. They also covered locals Jack Dance, Tom Minta and Michael Brown.
Finishing up as the highest-placed GASGAS rider in an amazing third overall, former GASGAS factory rider Brown showed he’s still got the skills, putting in an amazing week-long performance. Fifth overall for GASGAS was Minta. Top privateer one year ago in Scotland to earn himself a wildcard ride at the iconic Erzbergrodeo, this time around Tom rode his GASGAS to a super solid result, just two places ahead of up-and-coming young charger Dance aboard his GASGAS TXT Racing 125.
“The Scottish Six Day Trial is an incredible event, something unique and very special to the sport and GASGAS,” explains team manager Albert Cabestany. “This year’s event was great – tough days of riding, great times, and some good weather, which is always welcome. Even without our TrialGP regulars Jaime Busto and Sondre Haga, it was great to see some really positive results for GASGAS.
“Michael is a rider that knows the Scottish event very well, and he delivered some great riding. As did Tom, Jack, and many others. For Jack, it was his first appearance, and it was surprisingly good as he was riding with a 125cc bike! For me he was the rider of the event! Congratulations to all GASGAS riders that completed this special competition.”
