SANT JULIA

TrialGP Andorra is a regular stop for the series, though this year will see a much changed course and new paddock as the long standing event embraces the new TrialGP era. The steep sided, huge rocky valley that defines the southern part of Andorra is the backdrop for one of the most unforgiving venues in the calendar.

High altitude, hot weather and super gruelling sections have earned Andorra its tough reputation and is a real test for even the top riders. This year’s more compact course stays closer to the town centre of Sant Julia, which will again house the paddock / start area and opening / closing section plus Saturday’s Qualification hazard. With plenty of well-priced hotels close to hand and the added bonus of being able to pick up some tax-free gifts, Andorra is well worth a visit.

TRIALGP FRANCE

CAHORS

The 2020 TrialGP France will mark the 23rd anniversary of the famed Cahors Urban Trial although riders can expect much more in the way of natural sections as it is now the penultimate round of the FIM Trial World Championship.
The historic town lies on the Lot river in the Occitanie region of southern France and is around 110km north of Toulouse.
With no shortage of steep climbs to test the best Trial riders in the World, TrialGP France promises to provide a unique – and very spectacular – test of both man and machine.

TONG

Back on the calendar after a two-year absence, Tong lies in the north of England in West Yorkshire close to Leeds Bradford Airport and boasts excellent transport links.

Custom-built sections still retain a very natural feel with imposing rock slabs, huge logs, treacherous tree roots and steep climbs figuring prominently and the big news is that for 2020 there will be two points-paying days of action.

The last time the FIM Trial World Championship visited in 2017 it was on a bone-dry, blisteringly hot weekend which made for an abundance of grip but rain could change the whole complexion of the Trial.

TRIALGP BELGIUM

Comblain-au-Pont

Having hosted two previous events, TrialGP Belgium returns to the town of Comblain au Pont for what is described as the ‘Monaco’ of Trial. Squeezed into the narrow main street the paddock has a unique and special atmosphere that is added to by the close proximity of the local bars, restaurants and coffee shops. The sections are grouped well in nearby woodland with slippery rocks and steep climbs being the order of the day.

Back in the main street, the final hazard high on the castle topped embankment is really something to be seen. This will be added to this time around with the Qualification section also being built in the same area. Fans can enjoy the local beer plus the famous frites and mayonnaise whilst watching the drama unfold right before them. Adding weight to the occasion the 2018 TrialE winner will be crowned come Sunday afternoon.

TRIAL DES NATIONS – PORTUGAL

GOUVEIA

 Following highly-successful back-to-back rounds of the FIM Trial World Championship in 2018 and 2019, Gouveia – on the edge of the beautiful Serra da Estrela Natural Park in Northern Portugal – is rewarded in 2020 with the Trial des Nations.

Fantastic local scenery and hospitality plus excellent paddock facilities and an absolute abundance of huge boulders means that Gouveia has all the ingredients to deliver a great weekend of action. 

The transfer from Porto Airport around 200km away is a simple affair with the majority of the journey being on motorway.

BAIONA

Whilst the individual championship will have been decided one week earlier in Italy, the real end of season celebrations will take place in the seaside town of Baiona as it hosts this year’s TDN – Trial des Nations. Contested by more than thirty teams over three classes the TDN is often regarded as the Olympic of Trial.

This year’s inter country team competition will see Qualification for all riders take place on Friday before the Women’s TDN plays out on Saturday and ahead of the Men’s main event come Sunday. 2010 saw Baiona host its one and only TrialGP event, and will look forward to welcoming riders and fans from all over the World to this unspoilt corner of north-west Spain for the final action of the 2017 TrialGP season and to hopefully enjoy the last of the summer sun.

With plenty of affordable flights to both Spain and neighbouring north Portugal at this time of year, it makes sense to be part of this special and unique occasion.

GOUVEIA

The small town of Gouveia last hosted a round of the series back in 2004 and has kept its hand in delivering top level off road events having staged a highly successful EnduroGP competition in more recent years.

Fantastic local scenery and hospitality, plus excellent paddock facilities and an absolute abundance of huge boulders means that Gouveia has all the ingredients to deliver a great weekend of action and entertainment not to mention a TrialGP Portugal to remember. The transfer, heading south east from the coast, from Porto airport is a simple affair with the majority of the journey being on motorway.

Portugal remains one of the most affordable countries in Europe and is packed with culture too.

TRIALGP CZECH REPUBLIC

SOKOLOV

Last used for top-flight Trial in 2018 when it was the venue for the FIM Trial des Nations, Sokolov is situated in the west of the Czech Republic a stone’s throw away from the border with Germany and 145km from Prague. The famous spa town of Karlovy Vary is just 15 minutes away.

Featuring predominantly natural sections in nearby majestic woodland, Sokolov should provide a spectacular starting point for the 2020 FIM Trial World Championship.

Tough enough in the dry, if it rains grip will be in short supply so don’t be surprised to see a high-scoring event if conditions are wet.
