The 2020 season of the X-Trial World Championship kicks off on November 16 in Reunion Island (France), where a total of eight riders will compete in the first round of a calendar with seven races, plus an eighth for teams and nationalities.
The five permanent riders are:
Toni Bou
,
Adam Raga
,
Jaime Busto
, Benoit Bincaz and Gabriel Marcelli. The Montesa, TRRS, Beta and Vertigo brands are represented here. All of them maintain their teams compared to the end of last season. Only Jaime Busto will make his debut in indoor mode at the controls of his Vertigo, since last year at this stage of the season he was a Gas Gas pilot. These riders will be joined by three “rider events” that may vary depending on the race.
Guest pilots on Reunion Island
In this first event, the event riders will be
Jorge Casales
,
Miquel Gelabert
and Kieran Touly. Both Gelabert and Casales are making their debut with new brands. The first, with Vertigo after more than eight years at the controls of a Sherco, while Casales returns to Gas Gas after his time at Vertigo. Touly, on the other hand, is the 2019 Trial125 World Champion, a great promise at only 18 years old.
