On September 26-27, 2026, the Japanese national team achieved a podium finish, securing 3rd place in the International Trophy Class at the Trial des Nations held in Altea, Spain.

This year, the team was composed of young riders with an average age of 21, competing with the goal of reclaiming the gold medal. Throughout the event, the riders displayed high levels of teamwork, engaging in intense and close battles against rival nations. While there is regret that the target gold medal was not achieved, the 3rd place result, captured by the entire team, marks a significant step forward for the future.

Thank you very much to everyone who provided enthusiastic support during the competition period!
