Canadian TdN team announced

From Waznie Racing

BRANTFORD, ON -- Two Ontario riders and a pair from BC will make up the Canadian team in the 2011 Trials des Nations, which will be held in Tolmezzo, Italy on Sept. 18.

Current CMA number one plate holder Jordan Szoke will be joined by fellow Ontario rider Jonathan English. Completing the rider line-up will be BC's Will Duggan -- winner of two national events last summer -- and Devon D'Argis. Jon Nelson will travel with the team as its Minder.

The Trial des Nations is the most important motorcycle trials competition of national teams organized by the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM). It has been held annually since 1984. Each team is composed of four riders in the male category and since 2000, three riders in the female category. The team with fewest total penalties is awarded the title.

The current major obstacle with sending a Canadian Trials Team to Europe is funding. Donations are accepted directly to the CMA <http://www.canmocycle.ca/> and sponsorship will be acknowledged on the CMA TDN Web Page <http://www.canmocycle.ca/content_frameset.cfm?pagechooser=souvenir_shop>.
