2018 FIM X-TRIAL CALENDAR
The FIM has released the X-Trial Championship Indoor Trials calendar for
the 2018 season, which includes a round in December of 2017, the opening
round, in Vendee, France.
This year’s series will feature eight events – more than in last year’s series.
The format has also undergone some changes, with three phases to deter-
mine the competition’s eventual winner.
The first phase – an initial qualifying round – will be fought out in among
the nine participating riders in groups of three. The top six go on to the next
round – a semi-final – where only the best of each of the two groups will go
through to dispute the grand final.
Toni Bou will be going for an unprecedented eleventh indoor title in 2018.
