SHERCO STUNNER SSDT 2003
Some 21 years ago, popular Spanish rider Amos Bilbao took victory in the Scottish Six Days Trial on the two-stroke Montesa Cota 315. In 2003 he was back to defend his title, but it was to be another Spanish rider who would take the victory 20 years ago. That privateer rider would be Joan Pons on a Sherco. He was not exactly unknown, but he did reach the height of world number three in 1994. Besides, Amos was a much-fancied winner. Also entering were previous winners Steve Colley and Steve Saunders, alongside future names of Sam Connor and a very young James Dabill.
