TROFEO JUNIOR

ISDE 2014: The United States stays in the highest position in Juniors

The Americans had another great day with an enormous Justin Jones. France sent Sweden to the third position and got hold of the second place in the podium. Australia continues in fourth place and Germany is awaiting in the fifth place.



Day 4 was a repetition of Day 3 but with one less test, but the weather and the roughness of the sand was the same. The tracks were more damaged, but the advantage was that riders already knew them. Among the Juniors, the United States were able to stay one more day in the first place.

“I was consistent all day. I don’t think I did anything spectacular, I had a better day yesterday, I believe. The transfer was hard. I got fesh-fesh in the bike every test, but it was fun. I appreciate when people are there cheering. This is my first Six Days and I hope it’s not my last, said the American rider (Justin Jones) who clocked 38m36/52 being the fastest among Juniors to complete the five tests in Day 4.

Regarding Day 5, on which riders will feel the stones again under their bikes, Jones said: “I’m very excited about tomorrow because the tests are very much my style. I hope I can be consistent, keep the bike together, keep myself together and finish well.



The French boys had a great team performance, and finished with the best time of the day. They completed the tests in 1h59m36/42. That helped them to gain one place and be quite close to the Americans. They are 1m12/04 behind with two days to go, and tomorrow they will try to get the first place.

« At the beginning, the circuits were dry and with many stones and I really prefer that. It feels like being in the south of France. I think tomorrow will be a good day for the team. Loic is good on these terrains same as the others in the team. Tomorrow the tracks will be hard and we will try to take the lead in the classification.» Frenchman Théo Bazerque said.



The Swedish riders are doing great in Six Days, although they haven´t been able to maintain a position. Yesterday they went up to the second place and today they went down to the third place in the Classification. They finished Day 4 2m19/58 from the United States.

The bad news for Sweden was the loss of one of their best riders, Oliver Nelson, who in the second special test had the third best time among the juniors and was having an excellent Six Days. But today he had a strong crash and injured his shoulder severely and also hit his head. This accident put him out of ISDE 2014.

“Today we lost a good rider (Oliver Nelson) who suffered an accident, but the team is doing well and is focused on the race. We hope we can get a good result. It was a good day for me. I like sandy tests and the other riders in my team, too. I have a pain in my shoulder, but it does not impair my riding. Tomorrow will be a new day with new tests and I and my team are going to push hard to see where we can get”, said Jesper Boerjesson, who finished 15th in E2 on the fourth day of racing.



The Chilean riders, who had finished the two previous days in the Top Five in the Juniors category, were overtaken today by Germany and Argentina, being now in the seventh position. They also lost one more rider, Diego Rojas, who adds to Benjamin Herrera’s retirement yesterday due to some problems on his bike. That leaves the Chilean team with only two competitors.

Rojas, the one who was excluded because he received help from the assistance, analyzed Day 4 after leaving his bike in Parc Fermé, when he was not still aware of the fact that he had been left out of the Six Days. “The tracks today were quite damaged, the sun was very strong and we started to feel tired. Today I had problems with my bike and I lost a lot of time”.

Thus the Argentine team went up one place in the Junior Category, holding the sixth place at the end of Day 4. The bad news for the local team was the retirement of Agustín Maldonado whose bike just stopped working on Day 4.



“Today was a hard day. We had to take care of the bike and also the body. The tracks were destroyed. We lost on teammate, Agustín Maldonado. His bike broke , so we are three now. We don´t have to make any mistakes. Juani Zunino, Martín Mercado and I are doing fine. Our bikes have no problems. I think we are going to get to the end. » said Nicolás Kútulas who finished 22nd in E2 after Day 4 in the Six Days Argentina.
