MOTORCYCLE TRIALSBRITISH ladies champion Becky Cook finished runner up in the opening round of the Ladies World Trials Championship in Andorra, on Saturday.
The Island’s heavy goods driver finished behind Spain’s Laia Sanz.
Sanz’s first lap created an unassailable lead in the two lap, fifteen-section contest.
Becky lost the majority of her marks on the long and technical sections five, six and eight.
On the first lap she recorded two threes and her sole five of the trial when she was timed out. At the end of the lap she was lying in third place on 17 marks, one behind Iris Kramer with Laia Sanz on eight.
Becky improved on the second lap cleaning the hard parts of sections five and six but still ended up dropping three single dabs in each. She completed the lap for 11 marks moving her up into second position behind Laia.
The final two rounds are not until September but Wightlink sponsored Becky will be competing in the European Ladies’ Championship, which resumes this month in Italy and Czech Republic.
