Antoine Basset, one of the star players in French enduro throughout the last few years, is returning to Gas Gas, the company where he had already been riding during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

Fourth classified in the E3 category of the last World Enduro Championship and eleventh in the general EnduroGP, Antoine Basset is to re-join to reinforce the Gas Gas Factory Enduro Team. This is a team that is about to undergo a great transformation in its sporting structure in 2017.

Basset is to join Jonathan Barragán in the official team and will be riding the same bike as the rider from Madrid, the innovative Gas Gas EC300, presented as ‘Project Phoenix’ in the last EICMA show in Milan, a symbol of the intense renovation of the brand in enduro.

This experienced 29 year old rider from Bersaçon, French runner up in the Élite E3 category for the last two years, is to combine his riding in the most prestigious international event with the French Championship, the toughest European National competition, where he will be fighting to retake the top category.
