World Championship Chat

Just seen that Bou has resigned with Montesa for 2 more years. Does this mean they will be making a new bike? 2 stroke?? Or will they simply think 'he's winning on this, let's leave it'

maybe its me but I wasnt there in Spain but were the sections dangerous, if fuji looses his finger tip bou rips a muscle Gubian 8 teeth and Sheppard his face is it time to go no stop?

After two rounds, not only has Tony Bou won, he's won in convincing fashion. Looking at the scores, no-one's been even close. Outside of injury, is Bou going to run away with this year's title? Can Tony Bou be stopped?

Is this years indoor championship really relevent ? We all know about the spanish,creative marking decisions ,and the crowds fair support ,and how they took to the rostrum at the last trials des nations But what about not turning up on 4 strokes this year ? It seems some of the smallest companys have tried really hard to get bikes out but not the current champions? Funny that what will happen next year, I wonder

I'm a litle confused about the new minder rule and what is it supposed to achieve. This ruling was brought in at the request of the factories to cut costs, yet at Mancha Real the factories still appeared to have the same number of minders, albeit only one would actually be in the section the rest would be shouting out the time, looking after bikes etc. The severity of the sections has not been reduced to account for the fact the riders only had one minder and there were certainly plenty of scary sections were more than one minder was needed. It just appears that if anyone has lost out from this ruling then it is the riders.

First lap scores. Junior. Browny and Wiggy first and second respectively. 125 Danby second. Still early days though. WTC Bou 1, Raga 4, Fuji 22, Doug 23, Fajardo 24, Caby 26, Dibs 33. Looks like a 2 horse race. FIM Results

Right, which one of you p*** takers has submitted my details/email address to the FIM? Just received an email from Mr. Goldenberg with several attachments: - I can order 4 bibs for me, my minders and mechanic. A form to complete for the manufacturers title, a press release communique thingy, a form for my factory motorhome so that I can reserve paddock space. And, an entry form asking which of the World rounds that I will be attending... So come on, which joker was it?

On a similar topic to the Laia Sainz post - for those of you who were following the big boys round the last lap - what would you have given Raga on section 11? This was where he got the tape hooked over his back wheel and managed to hook it out with his foot. He got a two for his dabs. I heard a few people murmering it should have been a '5'. What d'ya reckon? And why! I was the fat bloke that left it at two fingers by the way

Reading Jake Miller's article on page 4 of this weeks T&MX got me thinking. Does anyone know of any bookies were you can have a bet on the WTC? I might even have a bet on a Watford v Blackburn FA Cup Final. Oh sorry I forgot its been fixed by the FA for a Chelski v Man Utd final. I'm not bitter, honest.......

Various Facebook posts tend to indicate that Cabastaney has parted ways with Sherco.

Dream debut on TRS He did well, very well

According to rankings published on the Todotrial website, Doug Lampkin is the best trials rider in the history of the sport. The rankings are determined by number of WTC wins, second place, third etc. It only really confirms what we all thought all along. Todotrial

On behalf of Team Smage, we would like to thank the entire staff, crew, observers, medical staff, Ryan Young Products, David Chavez, the AMA, the NATC, the FIM, well... everyone but Jake Miller for hosting a world class event. It was a wonderful week in Sequatchie. We hope the TTC has the honor to host another round in the near future.

We are now well into the final month of Dougie's contract with HRC-Montesa and still no word as to who he will be riding for in 2006. So let's speculate on which bike you think Dougie will ride in 2006.

TrialsUK are posting that the Carlisle Nord Vue venue has the UK World Round for next Year. Looks like Graham Jarvis and DirtBike Action the same people that did the Round at Westwood.

World best score = 2 British best score = 65 Is it: 1. Domestic championship not developing skills on the tight terrain? 2. Observing favouring world best? 3. No stop rules 4. Factory resources favour worlds best? 5. Something else? Are the ACU asking the same questions?

I'm a few miles away so I don't always catch the up to date news so be gentle with me,,,,,,, Where is James Dabill in this seasons X Trial championship, is he injured, retired from it, or just had enough and will he be riding the WTC ?? Look forward to a response Galps

Dear Laia, I have just become your number one fan [sorry Christy]. Anyone who can stand up for themselves like you did in Tennessee is tops in my book. That whole world round controversy thing really turned me on. They say opposites attract and we all know that I would never do anything to cause any controversy so I'm thinking we would make a great couple. Will you marry me.

Spanish rumour mill in full flow, Poll Tarres to leave Jotagas, possibly for Montesa.

I was at Glastonbury over the weekend but I was kept informed vis Twitter of happening..."Fuji Diasqualified, In , Out, In , p*** up in a brewery " were the words used ????
