France's Thierry Michaud got back on the winning trail when the 1985 World Championship Trials Series moved to South Wales for its third round in March. He took the works 300cc Fantic to an eight-mark victory to go with his first round win in Spain. Victim of his superb demonstration over the slippery tree roots and rocks at Merthyr was World Champion Eddie Lejeune, and both are well depicted demonstrating the modern Continental balancing techniques as they strive to outwit each other. All the atmosphere of the world series is captured, including some very philosophical comments from the main contenders.
