| |  | | In an unprecedented step by a trials motorcycle factory to invest in riders of the future, Sherco is proud to announce a new, eleven rider team to contest the world's most prestigious youth and women's championship events. Says Andreu Codina, Sherco Team Manager, "We are very pleased to be the first factory to field a trials team focusing on Youth and Women. As you know, years of training, development, and competition are required to develop World-class competitors, and our new program helps formalize this process. We hope to help develop firm foundations in a variety of areas for our factory riders. | | |
| | | |
| | | Our eleven-person team consists of riders who will contest three major competitions: The Junior World Championship, The Women's Cup, and The Youth Cup. We have hand-picked some of the most promising riders in these three categories from three different continents, and seven different countries. |  | | |
| | We will be holding a number of Sherco Training Camps in Spain for these riders, assisting them in developing their skill sets to custom-match their needs. Our goal is to give this unique group of riders not only the best equipment in the world as specially prepared by Sherco designer Josep Paxau, but also the best training in the world, as well." | |
