Spain Reign — 2017 X-Trial Des Nations

Spain, represented by the Repsol Honda team riders Toni Bou and Jaime Busto, were the worthy winners of the 2017 FIM X-Trial des Nations held in Pau in France in April. After two laps of six sections the formidable pairing ran out the easy winners to record Spain’s eleventh consecutive success in this team competition. Representing Great Britain, Gas Gas riders James Dabill and Jack Price survived a disastrous second lap to claim the runner-up spot just a single mark ahead of France’s duo of Alexandre Ferrer – Sherco, and Benoit Bincaz – Scorpa. Five nations were represented in the competition in Pau consisting of Spain, Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany. Each team had two riders, with one team member having to be under the age of twenty-five as the new eligibility rule was applied for the second year in a row to the competition.
