2010 FIM Youth Trial World Champion Pol Tarres will debut the brand new Jotagas JT 300 at round three of the 2012 FIM X-Trial World Championship, which kicks-off in the atmospheric Palais des Sports de Marseille arena this evening. The new Jotagas machine has been developed by seven time World Trial Champion Jordi Tarres - Pol's uncle - hence it bears the legendary Spanish rider's initials 'JT' in what is an overt and appreciative nod to his technical input. One of two wildcard riders at tonight's event in France, Pol will be keen to give the bike and his Spanish team a positive outing during the qualification stage of the two-leg event. "I am very happy with the performance of the bike, the team and the guys at the factory have done a great job with its development and I am really looking forward to the event," said the eighteen-year-old. "Of course I am a little nervous, as it is my first attempt. However, we are ready and I hope I can put together a good performance." "The JTG is very lightweight. Both the frame, the swing arm and the engine," continued Tarres. "The bike's evolution has been positive and testing has been going well - I am facing obstacles with surprising ease, so I cannot wait to get started."
