TRIAL E FRENCH JUBILATION
It’s extremely appropriate that the motorcycle trials manufacturer leading the way with electric technology, Electric Motion whose machines are built in France, won the opening two rounds in France with a French rider at the controls. Yes, a new name at the head of the pack: Gael Chatagno. Making a return to the sport after suffering some difficult injuries in the past seasons, he dominated day one before taking the win on day two on the tie-break decider. It was the reigning FIM TrialE World Champion Albert Cabestany who was expected to lead the way, but he suffered the two defeats at the hands of the French rider. With only two rounds and four points-scoring days we will have to wait until Italy to see if France can celebrate Electric Motion as its first motorcycle manufacturer to win an FIM Trial World Championship.
The 2020 FIM TrialE World Championship will now take a short break before resuming in Italy on the 10th and 11th October for the final round.
