An athlete who has absolutely reigned in a sport such as MTB Cross Country has found, after his retirement, a new passion: trials, we are talking about Julien Absalon who already rides a Scorpa.
It is common to see old trial riders who go to Enduro, rallies,etc. and enjoy a great technical base inherited from our discipline. However, there are also others who after trying off-road modalities and succeeding in them, decide that trial will be their new goal and it will become their favorite sport. This is the case of Julien Absalon, double Olympic Champion,5-time World Champion,5-time European Champion and14-time French Mountain Bike Champion (in Cross Country mode),a 38-year-old retired young man who has already been hooked to the practice of trial.
The culprit in this is James Gonzales, the technical developer of Sherco and Scorpa, who has accompanied him on his first trials. Absalon is determined to continue practicing trials, so much so that he already has a Scorpa 300 SC in his garage .
