By Andrew Hill on 26th Feb 21
The 2021 X-Trial of Vendee has been cancelled because of coronavirus, the FIM has announced.
The French Motorcycling Federation (FFM), the FIM, the championship promoter 2Play and the local organiser have agreed to cancel the season-opening X-Trial of Vendee citing coronavirus and the restrictions on travel.
The X-Trial of Vendee was set to run on May 1 in Mouilleron-le-Captif, western France.

There have been no other changes announced at this time. The revised 2021 X-Trial Championship is as follows:
