World Championship Chat

Are there any channels showing the series in the USA for 2019? I've searched and found nothing. Thanks.

The FIM Website lists the riders for the 2008 season with a couple of interesting points. Dougie is noted as riding for the Beta factory, no real surprises there, but Shaun Morris is down for Scorpa. Have I missed something, but there has been no official announcement for either rider. However the fact that it appears on the FIM website would surely indicate that this is not rumour.

So whats happened to Monster sponsoring Bou?? If the dominant force in an extreme form of sport isn't attractive enough to sponsor then what the hell do they want!?? He's also not using Arai helmets anymore.

Toni Bou injured his back again in a fall at a demo in Japan.. Apparently not too bad and his aim is to be fit for the beginning of the X-Trial champs on 20th January. Assume based on this, he is a big doubt for Sheffield.. Now looks like no Bou and no Fajardo.. Looks like another sub rider needs drafting in. Gelabert hopefully.. Looked cracking there last 2 years

In answer to Doug's comment regarding his performance at Sheffield, i quote, ' I was obviously very disappointed with my performance but I was most disappointed for letting you guys down'. I hope I speak for the majority of trials riders in saying that Doug hasn't ever let his fans down. His 7 world outdoor and his 7 indoor titles bear testament to that. If Doug carries on giving 110% as we know he will then I for one will not feel let down, regardless of the position in which he finishes. Whilst he may not, at present, have a world title he will always be a true World Champion. Quite simply there isn't a current rider out there who can beat Dougie's 7 consequetive W…

has there been any conformation on who is ride what bike for 2006?

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

Just had a email from my federation of the new trial rules 2013 assessment. Take a look it must be on the FIM website. Rose coloured specs. The assessment was done by someone with one eye that is full of non stop. The way I read it all is the problems they have had is caused by section setters, riders, or observers. Well that's true, that's all you can blame theres no one else. A couple of things that made me smile Riders need technical and strategic adaption Observers to adapt their way of seeing in order to judge not moving forwards in the same way as they had been used to judging moving backwards for many years. You would at least think the FIM assessment be more …

hi all have you seen any picture of toni bou on montesa yet here are to i have seen

Does anyone know the line up and format for Sheffield this year (2017), now that it's not a championship round ?

Just to say I watched the video Trial GP put up on YouTube. I liked it, cheers

Jorge Casales signed for Beta for 2015 season. Beta obviously doing something right. Lose Dibs and replace with the only genuine young threat to Toni Bous supremacy. Where does this leave Gas Gas?? Where will Raga go IF anything happens at GG that threaten WTC / X trial? Hope Casales does well, been looking immense over the last season

Well it was a matter of time before they snapped him up http://www.trialscentral.com/sub-headlines/16780-jaime-busto-joins-repsol-honda-team

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…

i thought the shefield highlights were on tv(19/01) tomorrow,just checked listings and its not on.Anybody know when its on??

Good luck to all the young British lads in the Spanish and french world rounds. Especially to Wiggy and Jono Richardson who are moving up to tackle the next class, wiggy the top route to make the fourth brit in the pro class and Jono in the juniors. Good luck to Jack challoner who we know can win the Junior class, and to morph and Jack shepard, and every other British man and boy. ENGLAND EXPECTS!! (is that a bit over the top?)

Any one know which bikes are closest to stock among the top world round riders?
