World Championship Chat

Hi, I purchased Advanced Tickets for both Saturday and Sunday at Tong, does anyone know when the tickets will still be posted or who I can contact

X Trial is promoting this weekend's event with both Bou and Raga competing. I expected Raga to be there, as he competed last weekend for the first time since his surgery. Bou has been very quiet on social media, no practice riding posts, rightfully so, if he is, I suppose. I'm just surprised that he'll be back this soon. OR will the almighty X Trial announce that Bou will not be there on Saturday morning, so that ticket holders still show up to see Adam, at least? (so they don't eat crow like they did when they outright canceled the last event, which still sucks for all of the other competitors who WERE ABLE to COMPETE)

Whats the worse case of blatant cheating, whether its gardening or anything else, people have witnessed at a WTC round or indeed any other trial. You don't have to name names but it would be a lot more interesting if you did.

I think I lost my dinner ticket

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.

For all us poor soles who can't make Fort William , it will be on eurosport 2, Thursday next week. 17:30 TRIAL Trial World Championship - Fort William (60min) Enjoy

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!

Sorry if I've missed the blindingly obvious here, but was it not scheduled for all machines to be fourstroke in 2006? Is this still on the cards or has it been delayed?

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.

The time is nearly upon us for Sheffield and the start of the 2009 ITWC season. So, what's the reckoning for Saturday? the season ahead?? For my money it's gonna be a 2 horse race with 'maybe' only Fajardo 'possibly' stealing a win from the big 2. I think that if Raga can win on Saturday, he could retake his crown although he is going to need to be on it big time every minute of every trial to stop Bou. My bet - 1: Raga 2: Bou 3: Caba/Fajardo

does any body know how the first world round has gone,results,etc?

wher will the trials central tent be located as i am trying to work out how close it will be to the nearest toilet!!!

Another TrialGP rider dropping from TrialGP down to Trial2 Alex Ferrer looking to do full Trial2 for 2019 non Sherco. What do people think on this? Does it hinder young trials riders from going to TrialGP or does it just make Trial2 more competitive?? from my thinking I wouldn’t say it stops riders rising to TrialGP, you don’t have to win Trial2 to make the step up. It certainly makes Trial2 more competitive at the top.

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

good ride , keep it up you are the best !

Set my Sky box to record the trial on Eurosport last night (Friday) only to find out the program for the trial had been replaced !! Anyone know when or even if the program has been re-scheduled ?

I just watched the "Sunday" DVD from TrialsTV ,, and as one of many clear examples, Fuji , on lap one section 10 dabbed twelve times, yet he was given a score of 3. Is there some grade inflation going on here?

Spanish web site zonatrial are reporting that Future TRW want Cabestany for next season, and that James Dabill is off to try enduros!! Could it be musical saddles over the winter, or of more concern how many riders in the main WTC next year?

I don't pay too much attention to the detail of WTC rules so it may not be a change after all but, if it is indeed the case as per the announcement on the front page, then I wonder how the requirement for Trial 2 that effectively bars Montesa from the class went down at HQ in Barcelona. Or will they unveil the occasionally rumoured two stroke?

During the three years that we had a world round event at Hawkstone, Trials Central ran the very successful "Party In The Park" get-togethers. This was a chance for TC users to get together informally, have a few beers and put names to faces. With the world round in Fort William approaching, planning has started on what we're going to do this year. Firstly, there will be NO camping available at the Nevis Range Ski Area so that rules out doing what we did at Hawkstone. Finding another venue where it's possible to set up a secure area with marquee, camping, toilets etc where we're not going to bother anybody with noise is way too much hassle and likely to be very difficul…
