The third round of the season reveals the riders who will compete on France's Réunion Island
Hugo Dufresse (Beta) will make their 2026 season debut in the third event of the calendar, which will take place on November 8th in Saint-Denis, on the French island of Réunion, off the coast of Madagascar. The event will begin at 20:00 local time (17:00 CET) at the Petit Stade de l’Est.
Meanwhile, Jack Peace (Sherco) returns to the Championship after his sixth place in Andorra la Vella. The British rider has already taken part in six FIM X-Trial World Championship events, while the Frenchman has competed in six too. Peace has even reached one final — in Tallinn, the last round of the previous season.
They will join the six permanent riders in the Championship: the trio who have occupied the same podium positions in the first two rounds — Toni Bou (Repsol Honda Trial Team), Gabriel Marcelli (Repsol Honda Trial Team) and Jaime Busto (GasGas) — along with young Beta rider Harry Hemingway, currently fourth in the provisional standings, Frenchman Benoit Bincaz, who represents electric power with his Electric Motion, and the experienced Italian Matteo Grattarola (Beta).
In total: three Spaniards, two French riders (the local heroes this time), two Britons and one Italian, all ready to make the impossible possible on their bikes as the X-Trial returns to Réunion Island.
