Bou and Fujinami face round two of the X-Trial season

After kicking off the 2017 X-Trial campaign in the best possible way with a magnificent win in Barcelona, Repsol #honda Team are once again back in action as the indoor #trial season arrives in Wiener Neustadt, Austria.

FIM X-Trial’s current championship title holder #tonibou and his Repsol #honda Team companion #takahisafujinami are all set to tackle the second round of the #trial calendar as the championship moves on to Austria, this Saturday 11th March, in Wiener Neustadt’s Arena Nova.

Toni Bou came away from the opening X-Trial #event earlier this year in Barcelona with a victory that saw the incumbent champion lead from start to finish. The Catalan will be looking for more of the same in 2017 and currently sports a three-point advantage over the nearest second-place rival in the overall world championship standings.

Bou’s long-standing Repsol #honda buddy #takahisafujinami lines up alongside him for the #event. The Japanese rider will be looking to set the record straight after the unexpectedly disappointing result picked up in the Catalan opener. The Austrian course should prove to be much better-suited to the indoor style than the previous outing had been.

Jaime Busto, fifth in the overall standings, will not take part in the #event, having done so as the organization’s wildcard in the Barcelona #trial.

The eight participants will be able to check out the sections that they will be faced with from 11:00 on the Saturday of the #trial. Qualifying begins at 18:50 with the final between the top four scheduled to commence at 21:30. In both phases, riders will pit their skills against six hazards before the day’s winner is eventually decided.
