Are there any channels showing the series in the USA for 2019? I've searched and found nothing. Thanks.

Something to be aware of if you plan on riding Trials in Europe this year, particularly the young lads and lasses gearing up for the World/European Championships. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46891186 (I'm locking this because this isn't a political forum and I don't want the usual suspects spouting a load of bollocks about Brexit...)

Nice set of photos and a couple of video clips but anyone got the results to post ?

1st January 2019 and Benoit Bincaz leaves Scorpa and signs for Beta for TrialGP Lorenzo Gandola leaves Scorpa and signs for Vertigo for Trial2 think that leaves Aniol Gelabert flying the orange flag in WTC in 2019. Another manufacturer struggling or just not wanting / needing to pump €€€ at WTC

Ok perhaps a bit early... But that time is approaching when we start to wonder who will be moving seats and riding for what team in which championship class??? So What's everyones rumour, geusse, or just plain wish list?

Full story Reasons ? Thoughts ? Anything to do with recent press releases ? Please discuss

Toni Bou injured his back again in a fall at a demo in Japan.. Apparently not too bad and his aim is to be fit for the beginning of the X-Trial champs on 20th January. Assume based on this, he is a big doubt for Sheffield.. Now looks like no Bou and no Fajardo.. Looks like another sub rider needs drafting in. Gelabert hopefully.. Looked cracking there last 2 years

Looks an exciting prospect, in Anglesey https://www.trialscentral.com/news-archive/world-trials/world-outdoor-trials-championship/20518-2019-uk-world-trial-heads-to-wales Who's going to watch then?

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.

It would be helpful to know how long the actual 'show' lasts? Can anyone who's been before give some indication...? Many thanks

Just wondering what with the montesa 300 dominating in Trial2 this year against the 250 2t's... then will Beta be looking at putting someone competitive on their 300 4t for some great exposure potential. I would think that if needed, a little tuning with the carb and engine compression on the Evo factory model could make it competitive at T2 and/or national championship level.

Vertigo have dropped arnau farre after he got injured in the indoors at the start of the year ,personally I think it’s a s### thing to do!maybe there’s more going on behind the scenes .i hope he finds another team he’s very exciting to watch and has bags of potential

Great trial on Sunday and as ever some unbelievable skills on display. Few thoughts and questions on the event from discussions there and thoughts after Good: Good Venue Very easy to get to all sections Well organised (to a point - see below) and well set up operation Bad: Saturday was spent primarily crowded around only the qualifying section as there was literally nothing else doing (after practice) I like the idea of qualifying and enjoyed it on Saturday but having the whole afternoon around it and that one section seems such a waste Still some huge huge inconsistencies in observing with 1 rider getting a 5 and another getting a 0 for identi…

Adam Raga's bike cuts out at the worst moment at the uk trialGP. He had to push the bike back to the paddock.

Having fived the section good on Toby Martyn for doing this just for the hell of it.

Why is it when I attend World rounds in Europe i.e recently France and Andorra there is no charge to view? For the privileged of attending the UK round I have to pay £30. Don't get me wrong, I can afford £30, just throwing it out there for discussion...........

I see on the Vertigo works bikes they are using Dunlop tyres! Is this the normal choice for the team ?

Couple of questions for anyone that's been before... Is there anywhere to get a cuppa within walking distance, or is it Thermos time? Roughly what sort of distance is it usually from the nearest section to the furthest one?

Great to see Gas Gas stepping in and supporting Arnau Farre by providing him a bike and support as he recovers from knee surgery and being unceremoniously dumped by Vertigo. Looked to be a true rising star on the Gasser. Hopefully he comes back better and stronger in 2019 and back with Gas Gas for Trial GP Well played Gas Gas
