The title just about sums it up any one know why he wasnt in the results of the Japan world round did he retire or was he a non starter?

He's riding the Erzberg Rodeo this weekend.

Having made the long trip out to Japan myself I can't say I blame him!

Say's a lot really. I suppose Doug's winding down insofar as the trials championship is concerned.

Shame really almost signals the end of an era, must be the first world round weekend that hasn't had a Lampkin presence getting on for 16 years, im sure the paddock is a poorer place for it.

Hes out of his prime now, with the likes of Toni Bou in the compertitions its pretty hard to keep up with the younger era

Plus, look at the event website

Redbull's logo is all over it and they're one of Dougie's major sponsors. Got to please those who pay the wages

Aside from that, it's really good to see Taddy doing so well. He's a really nice bloke. Always had time to stop and chat in his days riding WTC.

Why don't you get Jake to rub up Red Bull for some sponsorship of TC? Captive (and impressionable) audience etc. Worth a try.

Think you will find Andreas Lettenbichler is a German Trials Champion, so that would make 3 trials riders on the podium!

I remember a programme on the TV where they got the top motorcyclists from each dicipline and they had to compete in each others sports, but not their own! The trials boys came out on top

A very large penny has dropped. AFAIK Doug is now comfortably in the lead of the world extreme enduro championship. From Betas perspective sending Doug to Erzberg as opposed to Japan was a no-brainer.

*edit* I see it's not yet an official world championship. That only happens next year.
