FIM Trial Vintage Trophy
Around The Corner
T
he biggest celebration
ever staged of all things
retro in the world of trial is
less than two months away.
The inaugural FIM Trial
Vintage Trophy is scheduled
to take place at the legend-
ary Italian venue of Monza,
September 24.
Trial fans from across the
planet are invited to attend
and it doesn't matter whether
you're a rider or a fan, a feet-
up ace or an also-ran.
Master of ceremonies will
be the original American
idol and 1979 TrialGP World
Champion Bernie Schreiber.
Still the only rider from the
USA ever to achieve global
domination, the charismatic
So Cal superstar will oversee
the day's action with a packed
program of interviews with the
sport's historic heroes and major
players.
"I'm excited," said Schreiber.
"This is going to be an amazing
day, and I can't wait to meet up
with my old rivals and friends and
fans from back in the day as well
as new, much younger enthusi-
asts. Vintage trial is booming at
the moment, and this is the event
we've all been waiting for."
Bringing old and new together,
the FIM Trial Vintage Trophy will
be staged over a course of two
laps of 12 sections on the same
weekend as the FIM Trial des
Nations. On top of this, there will
be an exhibition of classic trial
machines at the Autodromo of
Monza, which will also serve as
the base for a reservation-only
Trial des Nations and vintage
cocktail dinner on Saturday after
the TdN presentation.
"Trial has such an illustrious
backstory," added Schreiber,
"and I'm delighted that the FIM
wants to celebrate it in this
way. It really is a must-not-miss
weekend that encompasses the
complete history of the sport we
all love."
The FIM Trial Vintage Trophy
will play an integral part of the
2022 FIM Trial des Nations:
There will be two main bits of
silverware up for grabs—for best
performance on a vintage motor-
cycle and best performance on
an authentic vintage motorcycle.
There will also be a support
class that will compete over
easier sections.
Entries will close 21 days
before the event and you can
register now here to be part of
this historic event.
