Trial World Championship Jack Dance

Finishing the 2021 FIM Trial125 World Championship exactly as he started it winning Jack Dance put the finishing touches to his highly impressive 125cc world championship campaign, claiming victory at the TrialGP of France.

In doing so he secured the Trial125 World Championship title! Together with Miquel Gelabert finishing fourth, and Jorge Casales seventh, in TrialGP, all-in-all it was a highly positive day for GASGAS at the TrialGP of France.

"Its an amazing feeling to be the Trial125 World Champion," said Dance. "Its been a tough season, staying on top was hard, but my mum, dad, brother, and the whole GASGAS team have been there to support me so that has been a big help.

"Today I just concentrated on riding trial like I know how and didnt think about becoming a world champion, because otherwise, the pressure would have been too much.

"It was an amazing feeling coming out of section 12. I wanted to come and win today, not just to secure the championship but because its an awesome feeling for the team and my family."

Albert Cabestany GASGAS Factory Racing Trial Team Manager: "The star of today is obviously Jack Dance. He got it done today and it wasnt an easy task. The sections for the Trial125 guys were really easy so after starting last and having to deal with all the pressure, he really showed that he deserves this title. Im really happy for him, his family, and John Shirt, who supports him at a UK level, so I can only congratulate them because they made a great job.

"The team mechanics helped him in setting up the bike and making it his own, but in the end, Jack is the star and the one who made our bike shine. Congratulations Jack! Were really pleased to have him in the team."
