World Championship Chat

Does anyone know what happened about Marc Frexia riding the Barcelona indoor? I'm sure I read he was an invited wildcard, yet his name has not appeared in the results.

Just read that Frexia is once again going back to the scorpa and Taddy is on his way to the beta top trial team. A big turn up i think.

Seen on a french and italian site that it's happened. No news on scorpa site..... why??? If you had just signed your number 1 rider to ride your brand new bike I would have thought it merited at least a small announcement. Maybe I should go into PR!

Happy Birthday to Fujigas, 26 today.

Stop to masterfully catch your balance, giving the crowd a thrill?....why that's arguably worse than an Endurocross rider doing that (think about that - one "five" and a trials rider can drop a few places in the standings, but an Endurocross rider who stops dead or just a split-second would hardly ever drop in the standings, of course.) Use all the skills you possess to jump the bike magically sideways 3 times, to heroically save a dab?....fugetaboutit! MotoGP riders can't do that, so why should we let YOU? We WANT to take the sport back to the 1960's, when nobody had all these fancy-shmancy "skills" they have today. "Evolution of the sport"?....we certainly don't want …

After riding the last section, Fug rode around the stage and as he turned to ride up the ramp onto the stage his front wheel fell off and he had a scary moment, his face was a picture, but as the crowd cheered.........not a smile or anything. He just carried on off the ramp, turned and rode back up it . I would of bin in a big heap, bright red !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else seen this report? Does April fools day fall at a different time of year in Spain?? Looks to be a serious report though. Anyone heard anything? Cheers, Steve

Here.

Has his bike got a new engine, clutch cover looks much bigger tha previous ones (although it's not got the carbon cover usually used. I know they've junked last years clutch, maybe this is what the RR will have !?

I was stood right at it. Down a steep bank into a river. Didn't lift the front wheel quite soon enough. The plan was to get a nice "water splash" photo. This wasn't the kind of splash I had in mind!

Any chance TC can get some of those cool fujigas championship t-shirts to sell, I will take one!

Whats going on there?????? Did the Mighty Bou have man Flu or something???

Great job of the ''old'' man. Did somebody see the shortcut he made? Same place toni took a five by crashing. Searching for the video now.

Fujinami had engine trouble and stalled in section 8 on third loop Sunday. He instantly restarts his bike but gets a five for non-stop. This is why I don't like non-stop. NSFW in spanish. http://www.youtube.com/embed/BkIDwnZIKbw

Eurosport 2 are scheduled to show the 2010 outdoor rounds on November 18th and 19th. It seems round 5 is on twice? I am sure someone will know which round was which.

What would normally be on the telly... Updated: This currently appears to have been set "private" by the FIM. I'll leave this topic in case the setting is reversed, but right now the video can't be viewed. The private setting has nothing to do with TC. It's not our video.

Information released on Thursday by ACU "It is with regret that the ACU have to announce that the British Round of the FIM Trial GP scheduled for 9/10th October in Tong, will not now take place. An unfortunate combination of circumstances have led to this decision, but it is hoped that 2022 will allow for a round to be run once again." I wonder what the "unfortunate combination of circumstances" might have been? Is Covid still having an impact? In my opinion the wording used does not come across as very professional as one would expect there are plans B, C etc to cope with unexpected eventualities. Strangely the event still appears on the FIM trials calend…

See both Miguel and Aniol are ‘parting ways’ with Vertigo. Strange one. Will they still do what’s in calendar for trial GP this year and on what? bad times!

Sad that Miguel Gelabert has retired from the WTC. His social media mentions health problems for which he is receiving treatment. I do wonder if there was a further problem in terms of an available ride for next year. Without personal sponsors or families paying its increasingly difficult for young riders to stay in the sport. How long has the wtc got left, it will have been a championship for 50 years if it lasts to 2025
