Neil Price No 1 Australian Moto Trials Rider 2011

> Neil has maintain his Australian No 1 ranking after finishing best Australian at the Vine Inn Barossa 2011 Australian Moto Trials Championships in South Australia's Barossa Valley. Riding the only Beta Factory 300 in Australia he finished in 4th place at the end of the first day of competition. Neil said, "I made some dumb mistakes early which cost me dearly and it's going to be tough to peg back those lost points". However that's just what he did on Day Two, he had a brilliant ride to finish 3 points ahead of his Trials des Nations Aust team mate Kyle Middleton. Neil said, "I just kept to my comp strategy and the Beta Factory bike was unbelievable, it was so smooth, it was awesome. Now I need to go one better and peg back NZ rider Jake Whittaker".
Congratulations Neil.

The rest Team Dynamics also had a good weekend, Lewis and Alex finished 7th and 10th which is a great effort considering that they haven't ridden much this year, so all our senior team riders are in the Aust's top ten. Our junior boy riders Luke and Joel can be proud of their rides. Luke competing in open junior was up against a strong older group of riders but did himself and us proud of his ride. Luke finished 15th of 16 riders but the points difference between 10th and 15th was only 53 points after two days of competition. Luke had some big steps to go up and some very tough sections. Joel riding junior 7-12 year olds finished 4th of 7 riders. Our junior girls Meg & Luci also had a top ride following on from their junior women's cup win. They entered the 2nd tier of women's junior which wasn't a official class but they finished 1st & 2nd with Luci coming out in front. Meg had a ear infection which ended up bleeding, so she was a bit off her game.
