World Championship Chat

Anyone know if fim-tv.com will do a live stream of the x-trial round in sheffield today? Couldn't find any information on their website, so I don't know if I should subscribe or not..

Nice set of photos and a couple of video clips but anyone got the results to post ?

Good-morning trials fans. Open discussion on the Polish World Round.

You can follow what's happening at the opening round of the 2011 X-Trial Championship via the TC Twitter feed either on the front page or https://twitter.com/#!/trials_central

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…

It appeared that Raga's minder talked and guided him through the Fort William sections in French rather than his native Spanish. Anyone any ideas why that is ? I thought it would have been easier and quicker to use own language.

Hi, I'm poised to book tickets for Sheffield. Can anyone recommend where the best seats are ? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Jack sheppard was presented with the prize

I can only assume that raga and co must be feeling pretty demoralised when you consider how amazingly good the top riders in the world are and mr bou completely smashes them into next week!! I wasn't there today but it's hard to believe someone can be that much better than raga and co. Full congratulations to dibs for a fantastic ride too. More of the same please!

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?

How come Pol Tarres is riding a big bike in the Junior wtc yet still only 17?

Who mentored Toni Bou?

Hi! Have you watched the world rounds on Eurosport(2)? Looks like they should look for a new cameraman! Or a new guy to edit the videos together. The coverage is rubbish. Having watched 3 rounds this year: In Sweden they showed most riders in the easy first section and missed out on the deciding sections 7-13. In Spain they missed out on the good sections or showed the easy/non-spectacular part of them (apart from Bou in section 14) (OK filming was hard on the first lap...).

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.

Hot news Graham Jarvis has been awarded a licence to promote a world round in 2009 around the Penrith area on the 17th of may 2009 this is supposedly a press release from the FIM i really hope that Graham can pull this off as the last few years at Hawkstone have been good and its a shame that there isn't one on the main land this year theres a bit more info on bradfordtrials.co.uk but im sure there will be more news in other places on the web

Didn't see that coming

The FIM have announced the postponement of the first three rounds of the trial world championship http://www.fim-live.com/en/article/fim-trial-calendar-updates/

Is there a French World round this year? I cannot find any information anywhere.

In two weeks there is a GP in Belgium again. Anyone going, i am.

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
