FRANCE READY FOR SLOVAKIAN ISDE TITLE DEFENCE

Defending ISDE champions France announce who will compete in this year’s race in Slovakia.

Always one of the strongest nations competing in the ISDE, France have put forward another solid lineup for 2015 as they chase their fourth win in a row.

As the outright individual winner of the race in 2014, Husqvarna’s Pela Renet leads the team. Making his first debut on the World Trophy Team, Renet is joined by Mathias Bellino. Fresh off his podium result in Italy, Antoine Basset makes the graded along with the Sherco duo of Anthony Boissiere and Loic Larrieu and Yamaha mounted Marc Bourgeois.

Christophe Nambotin is a notable absentee – most likely due to his knee injury – while Antoine Meo is also not one of the final six.
