This weekend sees Repsol Honda Team head off to France to tackle the fifth date in the FIM Trial World Championship calendar. The competition reaches its halfway stage with a tough trial for Toni Bou and team-mates Takahisa Fujinami and Jaime Busto.
The race in Andon, France looks all set to be a hard-fought one for two reasons: firstly, it's where Bou's nearest rival this season, Adam Raga, usually comes away with fine results; moreover, the event takes place at altitude, some 1,500 metres above sea-level, which will require the Repsol Honda Team rider to be at his sharpest to maintain this season's unbeaten run.
The Repsol Honda Team goes into the GP intent on furthering Toni Bou's four round winning streak (all eight races) as well as seeking to improve on the results of colleagues Takahisa Fujinami and Jaime Busto.
The Japanese rider sees every event as a new obstacle to overcome as he endeavours to recuperate from last year's serious knee injury. So far in 2015 Fujigas has picked up some notable results whenever the knee has allowed the ex-champ to ride at his best.
Meanwhile, Busto continues to accumulate experience in his debut season in the top category.His first season in the Pro class has seen the Basque rider score results that will be hard to improve upon as the second half of the championship gets underway.
The French GP will be fought out over a 12 kilometre course with 12 sections to be completed over three laps.
