World Championship Chat

Anyone got an idea when Sheffield will be on sky?

anyone heard the results yet???????? thought it was 1/18/07

There was a very interesting interview with Jordi Pasquet on Todotrial that's worth taking a look at! Despite the poor translation, it's interesting to see his view on the state of the World Championships and where he thinks it's headed! Have a look! Cheers, Steve

just watched tonights trial on Motors TV, Bou in the last section had me grinning from ear to ear. what a superstar.

Hi all just joined the forum, not new to trials and always meant to join earlier but never did! To cut the story short i would like to congratulate Iwan Roberts in his podium first today to take the second day win! This is an unbelievable achievement from such a great rider who always showed potiential at our local trials. Seeing Iwan grow with confidence and skill while i ride has been very exciting and im sure we have more to see yet. Not forgeting his achievement at only 16 years old and his second world round in the youth class. I hope 2014 brings bigger and better oppurtunities for the young rider to one day maybe our very own champion dominating the trials scene…

He must be about 76 - he scored his first world championship points in 1984 when Lejeune, Schrieber etc were still about and some in Italy last weekend. My hat is off to him.

For those that don't already know, the time and date for the initial UK broadcast of round 2 in Marseille is: Thursday 5th February @ 18:55 MotorsTV SKY Channel 447 (LINK) Virgin Media Channel 545 (LINK) Freeview Channel 71 (LINK) There are subsequent repeat showings on the above 3 channels at varying times. http://www.fim-live.com/en/sport/sport/x-trial/

If I understand this post from Fujinami's face book page, the Repsol Montesa trials team will be becoming the Repsol Honda trials team. Has there been anything from the team yet? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Takahisa-Fujinami/1395044754067774 トライアル世界選手権(WCT)には、これまで「レプソル・モンテッサ・ホンダ」として参戦活動を継続してきましたが、今シーズンから「レプソル・ホンダ・チーム(Repsol Honda Team)」としてワークス体制で臨みます。マシンは、4ストロークエンジン搭載の「COTA 4RT」を投入。ライダーは、7年連続チャンピオンのトニー・ボウと、唯一の日本人ライダーである藤波貴久の2名体制で参戦します。これによりWCTにおける盤石な体制を築き、チャンピオンの獲得を目指します。 Trial World Championship in (WCT), so far has continued to war activities as "Repsol Montesa Honda", but deal with them in Works system "Repsol Honda team (Repsol Honda Team)" as from this season.

Which rider do you believe comes out on top?

At Tong, July 10-12. :):):)

I'd like to give a great big atta boy to Team Lampkin! What a quality performance in Japan. Spot 2 in the world championship tables, Not bad on a new bike.

Fajardo on sherco now

Well done to Alexz and Jonathan Richardson for clinching their respective world championships with 2 rounds still remaining.

I have seen two press releases from the Montesa HRC team. Miguel Ciera is retiring as Team Manager. Fuji takes on this role for 2022 and Gabriel Marcelli joins the team as a second rider. None of this, particularly Marcelli joining the team he has been clearly developed for, comes as a surprise, but is is more evidence that they are by far the most professional outfit in the WTC.

Saw an article in todotrial that a Chinese tire manufacturer is to be the sole supplier for the WTC and it will “improve” competition by having less traction. Somebody please tell me this was an April fools joke.

After a wander around Hook Woods on Sunday and watching the top lads demonstrate how it should be done. You watch them ride and see them do the impossible without a safety net, I noticed that the minders have totally different styles and no doubt abilities. So what does make a good minder? Is it: a) technical knowledge; guide and advise the rider and get him exactly where he needs to be etc etc. inspiration; maybe technical knowledge isn't so important, but lifting the pilot to greater things. c) safe pair of hands; allowing said rider to attempt the impossible and know that he's not going to clatter down in a heap. d) Dad; nuff said e) Been there, seen that, got…
