GasGas Factory Racing has just announced that they have signed the legendary Albert Cabestany for the 2020 FIM Trial-E World Cup. The Spanish rider will be assisting GasGas in development of the electric-powered machinery. He will be representing the brand and competing aboard the GasGas TXE. GasGas Motorcycles have won the championship three times. With the experienced 39-year-old Cabestany, the brand is setting sights to maintain that momentum.
Albert has achieved nine victories and over 80 podium results during his 21-year-long FIM Trial World Championship career. He will be joining GasGas Factory Racing alongside Jorge Casales.
The three-round 2020 FIM Trial-E World Cup takes place in Andorra, Italy and France.
“I’m looking forward to this great opportunity with GasGas Motorcycles. Winning this year’s Trial-E World Cup with the TXE gave me a real insight into the true potential of this exciting motorcycle. I was very impressed with its capabilities and know that moving forward we can raise the bar again in 2020. It’s going to be a lot of fun fighting to defend my crown and hopefully delivering GasGas a fourth consecutive title,” says Cabestany as quoted from GasGas Factory Racing.
