The Trials Training Center situated at Sequatchie, Tennessee is ready for this weekend's US Trial GP, which will mark the second stop of the 2013 FIM Trial World Championship.
The purpose built venue is currently basking under blue skies and enjoying warm weather as the riders completed their last practice session ahead of this afternoon's section inspection.
Twelve sections have been marked out for the two days of action, with many of them located in the slippery river beds that dissect the large woodland area that surround the main paddock which is also benefiting from the shade of nearby trees.
The atmosphere is very relaxed today after yesterday's scare when the exception of the Beta factory team, none of the other factory bikes had arrived due to logistical problems back in Europe. The good news is that now all the bikes have been delivered either late last night or early this morning, so it is very much business as normal, but with an American flavour.
Having not had a Trial GP on American soil for five years, there is certainly a high level of expectation from all sides about the two days actions that lie ahead.
The natural terrain that TTC has in abundance, certainly looks perfectly suited for the new no-stop sections, and over the next forty eight hours we will see if this is the case or not…
Trials Central will have full coverage of the US Trial GP over the weekend, but please remember that things will be running six hours behind UK time.
In meantime here are some shots from the paddock from earlier today to get you in the mood.
