his year, the series will comprise ten different venues in totalwith two of the events, Guatemala and Japan, both hosting two scoringrounds in order to make the long-distance travelling worthwhile. Theremainder are just single day events, making 12 scoring trials in allfor the series.
The newly-crowned World Indoor Champ, Toni Bou, is favourite to makeit a double-double. Not only would Bou add his first outdoor crown tothe Indoor one already in the bag, it would also be another first forHonda with the Cota 4T!
The hot money says that Bou is likely be even more sensationaloutdoors than indoors - but we'll just have to wait and see about that,but a pointer is he has just won the opening two rounds of the SpanishChampion-ship with almost frightening ease.
