FAJARDO LOOKING FOR A STRONG CLOSE TO THE YEAR

Twenty five year old Jeroni Fajardo - Beta made his fourth visit to the podium this season, when he finished third at the French Grand Prix, this matched his performances at the opening round in Spain and on the second day of the Japanese event. Fajardo currently sits fifth in the general standings and just five points off Albert Cabestany - Sherco in fourth ahead of this weekend's GP in San Marino, which will mark round six of the 2010 SPEA FIM Trial World Championship.

Having finished fourth in last year's series, many expected Jeroni to be amongst the front runners this season, but in truth the Beta teamster has yet to produce the results to match his obvious talent. After Fajardo's maiden Grand Prix win in Andorra towards the end of his 2009 campaign and strong results at the closing two rounds, it appeared that he was now ready to make the transition to be at the sharp end of the action on a regular basis in 2010.

A third spot at his home GP, that opened this season's SPEA FIM Trial World Championship seemed to confirm Jeroni's coming of age especially after some good showings during the Indoor series. However poor results in Portugal and Great Britain somewhat offset the 2 -3 finish he recorded in Japan. With just three rounds now remaining, and two of those taking place over the next two weekends, Jeroni knows he must be consistently good if he is to at least regain his number four plate.

Fajardo offered his view. "I have great motivation for the next rounds, and that has started well in France and is something I need to continue in San Marino and Italy. It is good to be back on the podium again, as it was terrible in Fort William as I was feeling sick and weak."

"I will attack very strongly the next two rounds as they will be important for me. For Beta they are also very important as it is like two home GPs for them, so I really want to do my best. I don't want to think too much about this situation, as it could bring extra pressure, but instead I like to think about each section, one at a time and how I can clean them."

"My objective at the start of the season was clear, it was to be in the top three, but that is now going to be very difficult after my poor results in Portugal and Great Britain. Anyway you never know what can happen, so now I am trying to catch Albert and take fourth place, after that I can then see what can be possible."

"Being on the podium in San Marino is my main focus at the moment."
