The ASM concluded the ASM Pasta Poiatti National Championships for Trials bikers recently at Ta’ Qali.

10 competitors registered for this last championship competition with five competitors in each class. The placing for the championship  was battled to the very last minutes. All competitors faced six main obstacles.

Wayne Zahra made it a point to register his first win of the season which, in fact, he obtained over David Dimech and over Theo Said both on GasGas motorcycles. David Dimech place second on the day with 36 points and third wasTheo Said with 37 points.

Yet, in the championship scale, Dimech was the winner (77 points) with Wayne Zahra in second place and 65 points and third wasJonathan Camilleri with 55 points. 14 year old Rowen Bonello finished fourth Overall in Class B.

As expected by many Damon Bonello performed brilliantly with 6/6 Clean runs and finished ahead of Gary Debono who started the event with two incomplete performances. Later, Debono recovered by making four Cleans but ultimately, Damon won the day’s event and the championship too.

The battle for the runner-up position saw Robert Caruana and Gary Debono finishing on equal points in all aspects and are both placed second in the Scale. Second placed throughout the championship James Zahra, performed poorly on the day and placed fourth overall in the championship.

Now its time for the summer break due to the hot weather and the Trade Fair events at MFCC. ASM will be preparing and performing track maintenance for the coming season.

Later this month, ASM officers Frans Deguara (President) and Johann Pace (Secretary General) will be attending the UEM General Congress which is to be held in Belgrade in Serbia for 47 European countries . This is made possible through the assistance schemes of Kunsill Malti ghall-Isport.
