If frexia has left scorpa and gone to gas gas, who will be riding for scorpa in 08???

Here the video: http://www.kewego.es/video/iLyROoaft-yq.html regards

The start Dougie has made on the Beta is disappointing to say the least, I just watched a clip of Doug from around a year and a half ago when he was questioned about Dabbil beating him and he replied 'Is that a pig I see flying over' ! ... How things can change in a very short period of time It's not looking to good for Doug and certainly cant be good for Beta.. Any views on how this will all end ? .. will he get over it and sort his riding on the Beta ... or is this one just too much of a mountain to climb this time. Really disappointing ... perhaps he might be better off on the Beta 4 banger ? On the bright side, it shows what an awesome machine the 4rt really is .…

Just reading this article and thought it a bit weird that Freixa would ride a Raga replica, sort of like Fuji riding a Dougie special? It also looks like he will be landscaping the sections for Raga in his quest for the World title!

Could some one direct me to the 2008 Spanich Championship Calendar please .

Sorry If this has been covered, i've been away from trials for a while doing enduro, so this is new news to me. Anyone think Doug can nail another podium 1st on the Beta ...... or has he spent to long on the 4rt to pick up a 2t and ride it as well as he did ? If Bou's anything to go by then the 4rt seemed to bring him on ! ........................ Hope Doug finds his his 100th on the Beta, good luck for 2008 to the Lampkin clan.

Indoor WTC RND 2- Barcelona Raga 15 Bou 18 Cabestany 32

Anybody know when round 1 is on the telly ? If at all,cheers

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

No doubt a few out there will be purchasing the 2007 WTC review so I thought I would share this. The cheapest price I have seen it for is

Have a look at motorcross digital. com excellent interview and insight on bous bike and the montesa set up, including a bit on why dougie left. Takes a bit of finding but its there. http://www.motocrossdigital.com/

Well personally I can't wait for Sheffield, I think it will be the best for years for lots of reasons; Doug always goes well Bou is the new world Champ and is up for 3 on the trot(?) Raga is stung and wants to bounce back, Cabys overdue a good ride Fuji is always spectacular And best of all the young British lads have got a chance for glory on the big stage, a stroke of genius on the organisers part, go Wiggy!!

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.

Just thought I would put a question out to everyone. How do the other countries raise funds for the TDN? I am from the USA. It is a grass roots thing here, but there are people who are trying to raise the stakes a little bit. Just loking for some ideas.

Lets be honest if the British Team of Doug, Dibs and Grimbo manage to take the title from Spain, then it will probably be the biggest ever upset in World Trials. Especially with a Spanish team that boasts the best 3 indoor riders in the World in Bou, Raga and Cabestany. Mind you they still have a better chance against the Spanish than Middlesbrough have against Arsenal. But this is sport and strange things happen. Good luck to the team, I'm sure they will give 100%. (thats both GB and Boro).

The FIM Website lists the riders for the 2008 season with a couple of interesting points. Dougie is noted as riding for the Beta factory, no real surprises there, but Shaun Morris is down for Scorpa. Have I missed something, but there has been no official announcement for either rider. However the fact that it appears on the FIM website would surely indicate that this is not rumour.

Have a look at the link at see what you think. Was it a dab or was Dougie threat harshly. White City Dab
