after 7 sections 1bou 7 2nd raga 17 3rd fajardo22

Is it just me or is anyone else surprised how long it is taking to generate the new calendar by the FIM. Given a provisional one was issued by Sport 7 there must have been plans in place. Need to think about my year planning, booking flights accommodation etc, but where to and when!

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

First round of indoor WTC or x bikes whatever it is now is on Eurosport 2 (sky 411) TONIGHT at 21:00 UK time.

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

So far we have: Fajardo to Sherco, Casales ? The Gelabert brothers both to Vertigo! Is that it for rider swap for the indoor season? If so Vertigo scored big. Seems they believe in youngters and they have a beautiful trio of talented riders! Sherco? Well Fajardo will prob ride less efficient than the Gas gas IMHO. Beta is quite crowded! Bincaz, Martin, Dabil... They all new aquisitiona as well. Prob no changes for this season. Where will Cadales go other than Gas Gas??

I have often wondered for a few years why the TDN team have to wear green helmets? Surely this is the Irish colour? The Spanish, Japs etc have nice helmets incorporating their national flag colours etc. The MX Des nations team had mega union Jack paint jobs on there helmets, do the ACU provide these? If so why does trials have to make do with a lick of green emulsion? Maybe it is in reference to British Racing Green, but that is cars, not bikes. Any thoughts?????

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

brilliant ride graham well done

This is on in town tonight I'll be there with camera

Hi all, I am thinking of takeing the family to watch the Italian world round in July,has anyone any advice for camping nearby, tickets etc, any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

OK, I've looked everywhere, here, FIM, WorldtrialsInfo and I can't find the Spanish round results. Any clues?

I read a thread on the trials competition forum that Bou would be leaving Beta. Anyone else heard this? Where will he land???????

Hello, Just wondering what people thought about Nord Vue. is it the 1st time world trials has been held there? I have never been there but I am going up to watch this weekend. I have been to hawkstone before, how does nord vue compare and what type of sections are we likely too see. I have some people from work coming with me who have never seen trials before and asking what type of terrain it is. They are a little scepticle with it being a slow motorsport but im sure they will be amazed with what they see

lets just hope dougie can stuff it up em again!!!!!,TOPMAN,

Who mentored Toni Bou?

Will it be ok to take and use video camera at Sheffield indoor.

I just need to rant!!! I don't know who he is but he drives me to distraction to the point of not watching the show! He basically gives you the result during the trial mid show, not doing the normal thing of waiting to the end. So it's a bit like telling you the result of the Rugby at half time for the whole game because he's watched all ready Please get someone good like jack burnicle to do it!! he says it how it is, at the time it's happening with a little humour thrown in. Current guys voice just makes me want to rub a cheese grater against my face! DON'T TELL ME THE RESULT TIlL THE END!!!! F.I.M Motors T.v Rant over till I hear his loverly v…

Toni Bou took his 2nd indoor title with a win in Italy last night.

After a solid performance at the weekend, Cota Kid closely followed by our site opwner Andy led the British charge for the most alchohol consumed in a single event. The Europeans were left agasp at the steady rate of pints, bottles, mixers, shorts and anything else that they could lay there hands on as both men drank and drank into the early hours of Sunday morning. Cota took pole position as he dabbed his way from bar to bar, taking no prisoners along the way!!!! The rest of the brits followed suit on Sunday evening where celebrations took place on the excellent standard of riding from our junior and senior riders across the whole weekend. A certain Beta minder, te…
