In what is expected to be the strongest Trophy team to enter this year’s ISDE, France will be represented by Antoine Meo (E1), Rodrig Thain (E1), Pierre Renet (E2), Johnny Aubert (E2), Christophe Nambotin (E3) and Sebastien Guillaume (E3).

With both Nambotin and Meo currently leading their respective classes in the Enduro World Championship along with Renet and Thain sitting second overall in Enduro 2 and Enduro 3, and Aubert and Guillaume also figuring strongly, it’s easy to see that on paper France will be the Nation to beat in Germany.
