World Championship Chat

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

Reading a report of the trial there seems to be a great deal of praise for the courage and determination shown by Dougie in completing day 2 of the French Round. Which was contrary to Doctors advice. He even went on the clean the section were he had his serious crash. Much to the delight of the crowd. It even describes Doug as special and not from this planet. He is special and he isn't from this planet. He's from Yorkshire. What a bloke?

Jeroni fajardo rumoured to be off to gasgas next year , so vertigo need a new number one rider , if he does go il take a punt on miquel gelabert , anyone else likely to move around??

Nice to see the old dog's still got some bite.

I think I lost my dinner ticket

Does anyone know when the 2020 Provisional calendar becomes official ? Want to go from New Zealand to the Japanese round and would like to start planning.

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

Laia Sanz joins team Montesa Laia Sanz, current womens' World trials champion, will join the factory Montesa-HRC team in 2004. The team is very proud welcoming into its ranks a new reference for this motorcycling speciality at world series level. Born on December 11, 1985 in Corbera de Llobregat (Barcelona), Laia Sanz is the best female rider in the history of the sport, a status proven by the four World series titles achieved by the young Catalan rider from the year 2000, as well as the European titles in the last two seasons.

Has anyone any idea when the FIM post next year's outdoor dates?

I want to watch some Trials on TV but haven't seen any for a while! Are there some coming up that i should look out for Thanks

CAN ANY BODY POINT ME TOWARDS WHERE THE FRENCH WORLD ROUND IS BEING HELD,WHAT REGION,WHERE IS THE NEAREST TOWN AND AIRPORT,ETC,ETC.

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

Looks like all the Trial Gp class riders fived the qualifying section ? This is from Trial GP live results , good news is that Toby Martin won the Trial 2 class

Good luck to all the young British lads in the Spanish and french world rounds. Especially to Wiggy and Jono Richardson who are moving up to tackle the next class, wiggy the top route to make the fourth brit in the pro class and Jono in the juniors. Good luck to Jack challoner who we know can win the Junior class, and to morph and Jack shepard, and every other British man and boy. ENGLAND EXPECTS!! (is that a bit over the top?)

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

It's just too amusing

Does Anyone know if and when the outdoor rounds will be shown on tv

Just wondering if there are any rules governing who can observe at world championship events, is ther any or can anybody do it???? Cheers Spike

Considering this was only his second indoor trial young Michael rode absolutely outstanding. Other riders have stepped up the huge level to this type of event and struggled, Browny looked confident throughout and showed great composure, even when experiencing mechanical problems. Not only that he rode more sections then any other rider on the night, as he had to ride the shoot out with Ross and Wiggy. I'm sure I am not alone in being very proud of his awesome performance and I hope we see a lot more of him riding indoor events. Hopefully with not as much running about for poor Shaughan, who also responded to the big stage superbly.
