It has been confirmed that the ACU Trials & Enduro Committee have sanctioned French rider, Gael Chatagno to compete in the Trial GB class this year. He will compete on the Electric Motion machine against Britain's best at Hookwood in two weeks’ time.
Although it is likely that he will not be able to take part in all eight rounds due to other European duties, the flamboyant rider from Marseille is renowned for his skills on the ultra-competitive bike.
His appearance has been arranged by the UK Importer, Matthew Alpe at Inch Perfect Trials who is pleased to welcome him back to the UK after their successful SSDT debut last May.
Series Manager Brian Higgins was also delighted to see the addition to the Trial GB class, "Although he competes in the Trial 2 class at World level, Gael is more than capable of holding his own in our premier class and he will be sure to have a following with the knowledgeable spectators who attend Hookwood each year.
The event is on Sunday 12th March, starting at 9.30am.
