The world-famous biennial International GS Trophy returns in November, with three riders selected from each of several countries around the world to compete on new R 1200 GS bikes for victory in a vicious series of off-road competitions and challenges in exotic and faraway South Africa.

Anyone have any info on this event? and who will represent Team SA?

According to http://www.inter-bike.co.uk/motorcycle-racing-news/motorcycle-racing-new... the event is provisionally to be held in South Africa on 11-12 November.

The article is dated 17 March 2010 - so is or isn't the GS Trophy coming to our backyard?

With the legendary GS Enduro celebrating its 30th birthday in 2010, BMW Motorrad is planning an even bigger and better GS Trophy event for this year, which will take place from November 13 - 21 in South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique – some of the best places in the world to ride a GS motorcycle.

Teams from Spain, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, Germany, the UK, South Africa and Canada.
