World Championship Chat

The most important battle seen in Belgium since 1815. The runner up spot for the 2005 WTC. Whereas Waterloo was a 3 way battle between the British, Prussians and the French. This months epic encounter features the British, Japanese and Spanish. Following the crash in France Doug showed remarkably courage and determination to finish day 1 and ride day 2, against medical advise. He knew then, that the points would matter. Doug's never give up attitude will prevail and he will still be wearing the No 2 next season. Fujigas has already dropped at least one place in the World rankings. If Dougie can retain the No 2 spot then it has been a remarkably season for him. It will …

Woke up a couple of times last night and it has been raining for nearly 8 hours, a complete contrast to Saturday. Should be an interesting day!

I will not be attending this year's Trial des Nations so Trials Central coverage of this event will not be what you might expect. It was originally in my plans to go, but recent events have me feeling there are places I'd rather be this weekend. As you all undoubtedly know, we lost Colin McRae last weekend. As a Scotsman, a motorsport fan and a Committee member of the UK Subaru Impreza Drivers Club, this came as a massive shock. We lost one of the greatest ambassadors this small country has ever had and the man who, without doubt, put the Subaru marque on the map with his famous World Rally Championship win in 1995 (and was also a bloody good Trials rider...) . I know …

I have used different type communicators in the past but havn't seen they type the world round guys were using. Anyone have any info or close up pics???? Thanks

Any chance Steve will alter the standings with a podium finish?

I just got this old computer up and running again, this is the computer I took to Duluth. This is the computer I wrote a world round story on for Cycle USA. This story never ran, nor did any other story about this World Class event in Cycle USA. The organizer made a point to let me know he had a hand in not having this story run in Cycle USA. It's a shame, I thought it wasn't bad. Not one word has been changed. FugiGas loves America FIM Observed Trials World Round June 5th and 6th Duluth, MN. by Craig Gernhardt How did this happen?

Noted from the results that positions 12th,13th & 14th only managed one 3 each, 15th finisher a full house of 5,s. Still all scored world championship points!

I have to ask, how it is that our british number one could not compete after crashing out damaging his bike. Why did he not have a spare bike

I must say I am disappointed that after selling tickets for months just weeks before the event we are told that it is going to cost

Keep us posted on the weather for Hawkers please

Can someone please tell me why the FIM has a rule that states the rear sprocket can not be see through? What is the reason? Thanks for your help.

which trials dealers/importers will be at hawkstone??

Stuart, just wondering if you have that confirmation of the dates yet? Desperate to book everything and be organised for a change! Cheers in advance.

Isnt he after 1st lap scores? http://www.trialscentral.com/headline-stories/14907-2013-trial-world-championship-round-2,-day1

I am driving from Durham to Sheffield on Saturday, will the venue be well signposted in Sheffield also where is best place to park.One final question - sorry to be a pest (never been before) how long does the night last? thanks in advance

Looking at the pictures from Barcelona I bet it was hard to get a ticket to watch?? The place is empty and it has been said that indoor is what people want sitting in a warm arena watching the 'Dynamic' sport of trials. Looks like the WTC both Indoor & Outdoor will implode? Do you think Toni will bunk up to our club trial

Can't find it in the listings gents? Any ideas?

Hi Does anyone have the dates and the televised times for the indoor world events. I've searched but can't find. thanks
