World Championship Chat

Anyone know if JR is fit and riding the UK round?. Was also wondering if he will be at the North Berks Super Trial next month.

It was inevitable that a Certain Mr Bou was going to be World Champion barring a disater and with number 6 in the bag any many would agree that number 7 will come next year equalling DL and JT's records. His threat the last 2 rounds have come from Cabby and Fuji (he has got to be thinking about retirement?) both have been World Champions and Raga and Fajardo banging in the odd result, but no other threat. You look further down the list and knowone can really say ''he will win in the future''? So how many can he win 7, 8, 9, 10...................... We were all happy when Doug was winning week in week out and total respect from Toni, but waiting for the results on a Sa…

The question has been posed many times about how many titles Toni Bou may win or indeed who may beat him. This raises a broader of issue of how riders are developed through the Youth and Junior ranks up to WTC level. The top 5 riders have not changed in many years, with only Doug's decline from 1st to 6th changing the consititution of the top five. What is notable is that the five World Youth Champions, all who have been crowned since 2005, currently riding WTC (Challenor, Wigg, Gubian, Brown & Dabill) with Ferrer having joined them in the last round, have not made an impression on the top five. This stagnation of the top 5 & lack of progress from Youth to Worl…

What is the FIM's minimum weight for a trials motorcycle?

The fight for second will surely come down to the final day in the UK. Only a 14 point gap between 2nd thru 5th. My money is on Fajardo. My heart is with Fuji. Sixteen year old Jorge Casales 2nd in Junior. Impressive.

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?

Has everyone been getting there tickets ok, we recieved an email saying posted 8 days ago but they havn't arrived. Not answering emails or phone. Anyone else having problems.

Does Anyone know if and when the outdoor rounds will be shown on tv

Now second in the points JF seems to be liking his switch back to Beta. Is he the new #2 ?

great to see Dabill in the top 5 and Wiggy has had a much better result. excellent !

Just got email from team Montesa minder friend.He says terrain is very large grippy rocks and dry but possible rain for weekend.Looks like a nice place for trials.JR

Well this weekend was the first WTC round, and a 2 day as well. Yet not one post on here!

When is the 2012 x-trial DVD Coming out

I have to ask, how it is that our british number one could not compete after crashing out damaging his bike. Why did he not have a spare bike

Great event organised by Red Bull free entry enclosed http://www.redbull.c...021243187779007

I was reading the TC write-up of the Japanese mens WTC round. A number of Yamaha riders were mentioned.... What model of Yamaha were they riding? Is this a Japan only model? Dom

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.

As the FIM say we dont need to see X trial qualifying and only get to see semi final and final with seemingly the same 6 riders and almost certainly the same winner, is there any footage anywhere of Pol Tarres and Jotagas in Marseille? Was looking forward to seeing how bike and rider performed at their first X Trial. Does anyone know is Tarres is scheduled as a wild card at any other X Trials?? Guess we need him to qualify to see him on the TV!

Well done the Fim. A new class has been added to the world championships. International open class, for riders over 16, they will ride the same line as junior. This fills the gap between junior and pro level. So riders too old for junior, but not good enough for pro that want to ride at that level have a class.
