Motorcycling Australia (MA) will field an exciting mix of youth and experience at the 2026 FIM Trial des Nations (TdN), which will be held in Spain on September 26-27.
The International Trophy team will feature teen rookie Ben Walling from Western Australia, who will be joined by TdN stalwarts Connor Hogan (SA) and Neil Price (WA) in the Spanish trial heartland of Arteixo.
Meanwhile, Jenna Lupo (Tas) and reigning Australian Youth champion, 14-year-old Mitchell Teale (Qld), will represent MA in the Challenge des Nations category.
Walling makes his TdN debut after a breakout 2025 season which saw him clinch the top-tier WA state title and finish sixth in the Australian championship against some seasoned opposition. In 2024, he also competed in four rounds of the Trial3 class of the FIM Trial World Championship.
Walling’s opponents in last year’s Australian title included Hogan and Price, who will be embarking on their ninth and seventh TdN campaigns respectively in 2026 – with Hogan ‘s CV including victory in the 2017 International Trophy alongside Chris Bayles and Kyle Middleton.
Price first competed in the TdN in 2001, and his last appearance for Team Australia was in 2013.
Meanwhile, Lupo’s 2026 TdN campaign will be her sixth for Team Australia, but her first in the Challenge classd alongside emerging star, Teale.
