World Championship Chat

Anyone got an idea when Sheffield will be on sky?

Trial World Championship - Championnat du Monde de Trial April/avril 1 Spain/Espagne Mancha Real April/avril 21-22 Guatemala La Antigua (yes really is Guatemala!!!) May/mai 27 France Senez June/juin 09-10 Japan/Japon Twin Ring Motegi July/juillet 1 Italy/Italie Erba July/juillet 8 Poland/Pologne Myslenice (tbc) July/juillet 15 Czech Republic/R

Raga failed to win a single Indoor round this year. How many years since that has happened? Also of interest, all five Indoor rounds were won by four strokes.

Check out the time frame between 1 minute 1 second and 1 minute 4 seconds. Watch closely as the minder clearly grabs Bou's front forks and then Bou dabs and the minder quickly pulls away. Then try to watch the observer score the thing. Watch as his hand is closed, then slowly opens to what looks like a five, then quickly just holds up one finger. What do you think Bou actually score on his card? You make the call.

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?

Well done to Jack Challoner who today wrapped up the Youth WTC with two rounds to go, a great achievement and testament to the faith he has been shown by the top trial team.

just wondering what you think?????? I for one vote old school easier to understand and you get to see all the riders on all the sections.

Day one....Dougie podiums...fantastic

Fair enough the indoor series seems to be taking a bit of (deserved) criticism and does not have the prestige or interest it used to have in this country. Probably the blame lies with the Dis-Organisers Octagon, the fact its almost become a Spanish domestic championship and the expected last minute changes. But I would like to wish Dougie the best of luck, on this the eve of the 2007 series. After all he is representing Great Britain. Go Dougie!!!

Adam Raga's bike cuts out at the worst moment at the uk trialGP. He had to push the bike back to the paddock.

Where are the U.S.A. riders who are competing? None are signed up on the provisional list.

I've studied this picture long and hard and still cant make out who the rider is. Please help.

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

Just to say well done Michael championship was always in the bag, but rode today like a true Champ and went out on top. Seems we have dominated the Junior WTC for the last few years and the future looks good with the likes of Sam Haslam and Wiggy to step up onto the top step of the podium on a regular basis. Hawkstone was a great event and well done to all the organisers, just one thing................ Did Jake get the PA system off ''Flea-Bay'' and no disrespect, but the commentator wasn't exactly motivating with commentry and interviews but apart from that top job and once again WELL DONE MIGHTY ATOM

Todotrial is reporting the the World rounds will use Open Free rules from 2011. Is this a done deal? http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...odotrial.com%2F

I think Raga had the luck running with him this season, and Fuji had it running against him early on, looking at the years results, Fuji has actually beaten Raga, more times than Raga has beaten him, the illness that Fuji suffered during the US and Japan round's, cost him the championship in my opinion. Who's favorite for next year on current form ?

Roll call so far Cota Kid DJ Denzil Nickerlias Anyone else making the trip to support Dougie and the rest of the GB lads in Spain? If so we can all arrange to meet up for a few cold ones.

I was interested to read in the Hawkstone programme the British riders responses to the question, "Can Toni Bou emulate Doug & Jordi Tarres, record of 7 world titles?" The response was a pretty unanimous yes. You have to say the world top 10 is a pretty stagnant place with only Bou making a significant move up and Dibs also making some progress. Everyone else is pretty much shuffling down in order to make space for these two. It's hard to see anyone currently riding in the full WTC being able to beat a fit Toni Bou over a whole season, and sadly I belive that includes James Dabill (please prove me wrong Dibs ). Dani Oliveras dominated the youth & junior chanpio…

Octagon Esedos pulling out of the outdoor championship and just running the indoor. I wondered how long it would take to see it isn't going to fly, but what would I know, will this mean regular clubs with good trials terrain like Hawkstone, will be hosting WR again, and we will see the trial being the most important factor and not the powder room. To tell the truth I'm not sorry to see em go.
