Does anyone know if there is a website for Septembers World Round in Andorra.

Did hear talk yesterday at the trial that the move to non stop is not going to happen in WTC, is that correct?

Can Cabestany topple Raga again tomorrow night? We think so, your views

I know the indoors is different but have we seen the end of the older generation of riders? Doug and Fuji are clearly never gonna get a WTC title indoors, but outdoors is it past them aswell? And raga most would agree the bike advantage handed him the title in 2005, but is 2006 different for outdoors? Bou to win o/s this year?

Anyone see Andy's vid's from Spain WTC and notice how top guys took the total p*ss negotiating the red markers?? Whatever happened to the "theoretical straight line between markers"??

FIM TV are showing Live coverage of the SPEA X-Trial FIM World Championship from Marseille on Saturday. I'll be watching it on FIM TV as it isnt live on TV in UK: http://www.fim-tv.com/page/Home/0,,12939,00.html

Hello! Anyone going to Spain or Andorra? I'll fly from Sweden on Friday. Looks like a good trial in Spain around a race course with decent walking distance between sections. Have anyone been in La Rabassa before? TJ

wiggy and raga out in last chance gubian and fajardo out in semis dibs in final, with bou cabes and fuji

Say after one year on a factory Mont (Raga), and after one year on a factory Gasser (Bou), what do you think the race for #1 would look like, versus what it's been over the last few years?

Five years and nine of the ten days going to Montesa, and one to jarvis on Sherco. Can Raga WIN!! if he can and repeat in the US, I think he will claim the world championship. On form the two strokes are doing better, next year may be a different tale? no more excuses time to produce the goods.

Come on Doug give em hell, go out and win it! Stand 0n it

Hi, are many people planning to come over to Newcastle Northern Ireland for the 1st & 2nd Rounds of the Outdoor World Trial?

I'd like to give a great big atta boy to Team Lampkin! What a quality performance in Japan. Spot 2 in the world championship tables, Not bad on a new bike.

Hi, does anyone know if the x-trial championship is gona be on motors tv again this year?

Interesting point raised in the ACU forum report. [Q]• Experience at World rounds tended to indicate that even those riders who were not necessarily at the top end of results felt greatly disadvantaged if they were not in the same position as others regarding the number of assistants they had. Once Dougie Lampkin & Adam Raga ended up with 3 – 4 people circulating with them – lots of others are now trying to achieve the same, regardless of ability/ results.[Q] So why is it allowed then ? Many think sections are too difficult/dangerous, but only a few have the security of numerous bodies to catch for them, would the top riders ask for eased sections if no other pers…

Just seen a release indicating Dibs has left Vertigo. No indication of his new Ride yet.

I'm on Block-217.........Row-H.........Seat-15. Tell us where your sitting one of us could be next to eachother? Lloyd

Further to Eddie Lejeune's posting about Dougie not being an Ambassador for trials got me thinking. Maybe he is right. So despite of EL's failure to further elaborate on this controversial statement, I thought I would. So apart from 7 consecutive World Outdoor Trials. 5 indoor WTC. 2 Scott Trials. Nearly a decade of the best trials schools on the planet. Numerous memorable Sheffield wins. 99 Outdoor WTC Round Wins. The enormous entertainment he has, and continuous to give trials fans around the World. What has Doug Lampkin MBE ever done for trials?

From what I'm hearing Toni's injury after training is nasty. I'm hearing he's not riding the opening WC round in Spain and it won't mend on its own.Might be a surprise turn up , but I doubt it. It's clearly a pity for Toni and throws the opportunity of a rare win to someone else.

Is Jeroni Fajardo staying with Beta for 2016? Just seen Loris Gubians announcement to do WTC / French champs for 2016 where he says 'I'll share my place under the structure with Jorge Casales' No mention of Fajardo. Is it like an A and a B team set up? Or is Fajardo potentially on the move?
