Coverage of the CZland World Round on at 5.30 today.

Just a few obsevations on scores on day 1 in Bangor. Adam Raga is without doubt a cut above the others indoor, precision skill and control but in the outdoor his score is 20% more, I can't get my head round that? Doug had the most cleans 17 vs. 15 for fuji, expect this to tell today, he will win. Why is grimbo twice the top boys scores? Is it because he has been training alot in Spain? Expect a much better result day 2. Come on you other brits, Shaun Morris scores his first point although well behind his old rival Blazusiak, Sam Connor has at least not finished 15th or 16th, he needs a good score although I know he has an injured ankle.What is David Pye doing, one 3 a…

So who do you think is going to take the place of Dabil within the factory team? Jamie Busto - The current World Junior Champ Eddie Karlson? Jack Sheppard?

A few cool modifications I noticed whilst having a browse over the bikes at the WTC in Potugal and Spain, if anyone's interested. There's probably a shed load of stuff you cant see as well. Gas Gas Raga's bike had a reduced cappacity flat fuel tank. Raga's had a longer front pipe on. All WTC bikes had the magnesium alloy crank cases. Raga's had clear handlebar grips with the Gas Gas logo underneath, very cool! Carbon fibre front lights. Raga's frame looked to be a slightly different shape too, but not 100% sure on that one. Beta Kenny had some very nice Michelin fork protectors with like a burnt/scorched effect near the bottom. James Dabill's had black yokes a…

This weekends Spanish championship round. Fajardo 31. Raga 37. Cabestany 44. Freixa 47. Bou 68. He's been getting close all year and now has tasted victory, will he be the next Spanish world champ ?

Fadardo off to Beta? Must have had enough of playing second fiddle to Raga

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?

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

Fajardo has a new minder. http://solooffroad.solomoto.es/articulo/1288278480/dani-oliveras-mochilero-de-jeroni-fajardo

It's official, fajardo has signed for ossa, what do we all think ? Good move ?

Great news for Beta but where does that leave Ossa?? Good team for Beta : Fajardo and Dibs

Been sorting out my photos fom this year and came across this one from Italy. Didn't know Gary Lineker was into Trials!

Who are your favourite riders??????? From the current championships and from the last 10 years??? mine are fujigas and amos bilbao

Another TrialGP rider dropping from TrialGP down to Trial2 Alex Ferrer looking to do full Trial2 for 2019 non Sherco. What do people think on this? Does it hinder young trials riders from going to TrialGP or does it just make Trial2 more competitive?? from my thinking I wouldn’t say it stops riders rising to TrialGP, you don’t have to win Trial2 to make the step up. It certainly makes Trial2 more competitive at the top.

Just looking at the FIM site. Gee, Tony looks a lot like Adam these days! http://www.trialonline.org/

Rumor has it that the FIM will make 4 strokes mandatory in the 2008 World Rounds, can anyone confirm this? If it's true, will we see 4t 125's from Sherco, GasGas & Beta any time soon? It's 6 months away and there's no talk about this, what gives? Curious in California

Well im so glad to see the FIM putting the death nail into GP trials and will the ACU follow ? why you ask well if you dont know FIM are going back in time to a time when trials nearly died off by bringing in stop reverse rules in, with only 10 riders in the GP class and world trials rounds having to go to multi class !! to get the numbers to make it worth while to run ,HOW will this help to get riders to these events its just making the gap even bigger , I Ask will the ACU follow as british championship class only 7 and out of 7, 1 rider only rode 1 event so really 6 riders, and before you say we want see riders tested ! with but who really benefits from this it will…

Just been looking at the FIM rules for trials and see the minimum weight for the bikes is going up 4kg to 70 kg in Jan 2014. What is the idea behind this? Is it a case of trying to slow down the evolution of trials by firstly altering the riding rules and now trying to tamper with bike development. With all the manufacturers releasing their 2014 models already and most being around 66 - 68 kg how are they going to make this work for the upcoming season?....Are we due to see the new factory replica models coming out shortly with forged iron swinging arms and stainless steel petrol tanks?
