World Championship Chat

winner today of the euro round in bangor was young michael brown! congratulations,in very blowy conditions as well. the man in action

Just looking at the FIM site. Gee, Tony looks a lot like Adam these days! http://www.trialonline.org/

I snapped a few helmets today. Let's play; How well do you know your riders? Name the rider?

Anyone witness the TRW 125 Monty?

Question, Can someone from the USA score points in the european Championship ? i am sure when the Austrailian riders were riding they could not ?

I've got a revamped web site/blog for the Wagner Cup (USGP) up: When I was at the Trials Training Center in Tennessee last week, I videotaped Dan Brown doing a walk-through of many of the sections. Three section preview videoclips are now posted to the TrialsUSGP blog, along with a photo slideshow and misc. other stuff. Less than 3 weeks to go!

I thought Christophe Bruand was riding the WTC for Scorpa this year on the four stroke ? There was a video posted a while back but I havent seen him in the results as yet this year ?

Great ride by Adam, sure it must be the best birthday present he could of wished for!! Keeps the championship nice and open as well.

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

Guys, have never been to a Trials World Championship round before. Am I right in thinking it would be a little like MotoGP - buy your ticket beforehand, and turn up on the weekend of the event? Seeing as there are no rounds in the UK this year, I thought I might whip over to France for the weekend and watch the French round in Maisse. Anyone got any ideas how I get a ticket or two? Cheers - Boner.

Hot news Graham Jarvis has been awarded a licence to promote a world round in 2009 around the Penrith area on the 17th of may 2009 this is supposedly a press release from the FIM i really hope that Graham can pull this off as the last few years at Hawkstone have been good and its a shame that there isn't one on the main land this year theres a bit more info on bradfordtrials.co.uk but im sure there will be more news in other places on the web

Okay, here's the question of the week. You're flying across the pond with the first destination being Ettelbruck, Luxembourg. From there you'll be heading to Bangor, Northern Ireland. After spending a few days there, you'll jaunt back to the states. How would you do it?

Over here in Aus we get one 07 indoor and one 07 outdoor trial on satalite TV each saturday, I have yet to see Hawkstone, I know it was filmed because I was there! Has it been on TV in the UK, US etc:?

Youth wtc Champion 2007 and Andorian junior winner Alfredo Gomez is riding montesa in 2008, so I hear.

Quite simply the indoor WTC has become a farce. Three rounds this year have now been cancelled and its going to take a huge amount of effort to put some prestige back into this event. I put the blame firmly onto Andy's favourite company, Octagon, their pathetic attempts at organising and promoting this series have put the indoor WTC back 10 years and totally justifies Avondale's decsion to go it alone. The question is who will organise it next year? Mr Bean, the English FA, DEFRA.
