TrialGP: Round 1 - Italy

Evergreen fan-favourite Takahisa Fujinami (Repsol Honda) turned back the clock today at Tolmezzo to record a shock victory – his first since 2016 – at the Italian TrialGP, round two of the 2021 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship.

Trailing Spaniards Jeroni Fajardo (Sherco) and defending champion Toni Bou (Repsol Honda) after the opening lap, the 41-year-old – world champion all the way back in 2004 – staged an epic comeback to record a second-lap total of just four which placed him eight marks clear of Bou in the TrialGP class at the end of the day.
