Obse rved Trials at Je fferso n have alw ays

Rain the nigh t befo re a nd in t he mo rn ing
thankfully stopped before the event but made
the technical sec tions more challenging for the
87 riders in attend ance. This didn't det er Diehl

the ir class, but Diehl made it fo ur o ut of five
perfect laps, losing fo ur mar ks o n his se co nd
