Sherco mailnews met Marc Freixa
on his last training ride prior to leaving for Sheffield (uk) for the first
World Indoor cup round. He was training in an area close to his home town of
Torellò which is near the Spanish Pyrenees and very close to PXC
headquarters. Marc was making final adjustments on his 2002 Sherco weapon.
We stopped by to ask him a few
questions: |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
SM: We know you have been quietly working this
winter, what improvements have you and Paxau made on the bike ? |
|
| |
MF: Mainly we have been working on frame geometry
following last year’s direction. We have also made a great improvement on
the bottom end power thanks to the new Leonelli ignition. There are also many
small changes, from the exhaust to the front fork, but all of them are
basically settings. Paxau is always on the leading edge.... |
|
| |
|
|
| |
SM: This week-end the Indoor cup starts at
Sheffield, how do you feel before the event ? What is your confidence level
? |
|
| |
MF: I know all the other riders in the cup have
worked very hard also. I feel that Dougie and Raga will be my strongest
competitors. Personally I feel much more mature this year and I have plenty of
confidence. I hope to be able to bring the victory to Sherco. Also, I want to
say that we will miss Graham Jarvis, who is still injured, he will probably not
ride until February. I hope he gets back soon.... |
|
| |
|
|
| |
SM: How is the preparation of the OTYAN-Sherco
team going ? |
|
| |
MF: Everything is going smoothly; the manager of
the team Xevi Vilalta takes care of all the details. I'm sure that the
merge of Otyan and Sherco will be a winning combination. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
SM:
Tell us about the outdoor calendar for 2002 ...
MF:
I like the calendar and I think it will be a nice championship. I only have to
point out that the Japan world round in September will be the last one and
there is too much time between it and the prior event. This is not good for a
competition that has proved to be the best in the last years.
SM:
A wish for this year ?
MF:
I hope to beat Dougie !!
SM:
Good luck !!! |

Sherco dealer spotlight: MOTOS ALFA. Cercedilla.
MADRID (Spain) |
|
| |
|
|
| |
 |
|
Mr. Adolfo Barreiro is managing his
Sherco Dealership in the tidy and beautiful village of Cercedilla, 50 km.
Northbound of Madrid at the skirt of the Guadarrama mountains.
After finishing his mandatory military
service in 1978, Adolfo decided that he was a good enough technician to earn
his living by repairing off road motorcycles (mainly trials bikes) at his
summer holiday village. He also could then leave Madrid to live in this superb
countryside at 1200 m. above sea level.
As time passed, his business was
(fortunately) becoming better and eight years ago he built a new workshop and
showroom to help him improve turnover and profit! His business is mainly
focused on trials and enduro bikes. He tries to offer excellent customer
focused service. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
Alfa Motos has been deeply involved in
racing since the very beginning, including road racing, trials and enduro. His
team has clinched several national and many local championships. But Adolfo's
love is still trials bikes. Every week-end he manages to arrange an impressive
"extreme" trip with his Sherco in his favorite home mountains which are
presently snow covered.
