Preview: World Trials Championship - Corsica
By Team TMX on 21st May 14
All eyes will be on the small French island of Corsica this coming weekend as the 2014 FIM Trial World Championship kicks back into life after nearly a months break, and the main question will be can Adam continue his winning run following his back to back victories at the last round in Japan.
Raga's recent double success means that he returns to Europe trailing championship favourite Toni by just one point, after the reigning champion.
Bou was below par in Motegi as he rode with a cracked rib sustained during a training accident, and did a great damage limitation job to finish as runner-up to Adam on both days of the Japanese GP.
Bou will have missed out on some training time whilst he has waited for his injury to heal over the last four weeks, but whilst potentially bike rusty he will be eager and hungry to return to his more familiar winning ways.
Another rider who had to contend with injury woes at the previous round was Takahisa who placed third and fourth over the two days of action at his home GP despite aggravating the knee that he damaged late last year.
The Japanese rider has used the downtime between rounds to get his injured joint back in shape and will once again be looking to challenge for podium finishes in Corsica.
Bou, Raga and Fujinami currently occupy the top three positions in the general standings, with Jeroni being the next rider in the championship table.
