World Championship Chat

Right, first on all let me say, Andy will no doubt back up this post soon with front page news and far more details outlining what's going on so don't bombard me with questions about the event itself. Let me only say you're in for a big surprise and a very very special event. The reason for this post is that we are going to be running a Scott style charity auction at the Party on the Ben during this years UK rounds of the SPEA FIM Trial World Championship at Nevis Range near Fort William. I have a list of dealers that I'm soon going to be approaching for donations and Jake Miller of L+M Events is going to be speaking to the factories too so hopefully we will have some v…

Had an absolutely fantastic weekend up in fort bill, My first experience of a world round! This comment does not include all observers (I no trials could not go on without them) but unfortunately in some sections I have never seen poorer observation to date, Even with crowds shouting and pointing out wrong decisions things where going un-noticed (was a bit like germany v england).... This Did not spoil the action for me at all, We just felt some riders had been cheated out of a fair decision, I am aware that riders will try and bend the rules, But in all cases there are mitigating circumstances and poor decisions can affect a riders mind set and alters there performa…

I was reading the TC write-up of the Japanese mens WTC round. A number of Yamaha riders were mentioned.... What model of Yamaha were they riding? Is this a Japan only model? Dom

my first visit to /sheffield having recently returned to trials - what a truly awe inspiring event, we were not disappointed - but lose the stupid race over the barrels, i could do that, i couldn't do any of the sections, made it a bit of a lottery and Fujigas lost out in my opinion can't wait 'till next year tony

Looks like Raga could be struggling to compete in the Czech round. http://motor.as.com/motor/2015/05/25/mas_motor/1432567390_318567.html

I'm interested to read the letter in T&MX news today from a spectator at Hawkstone, refering to the five given to Liai Sanz for riding out of the section. Did anyone else see, or hear of the incident? The letter suggests that it was a bad call as she was just trying a different line which was subsequently used without penalty by others.

Hi does any body know the dates and venues for the world out doors 09 thanks

Burnicle you are an idiot, I am fed up of him whinging about Bou getting away with 5s. He said it was a 5 and in Geneva and now tonight....watch the action rather than eyeing up who is in the background and maybe you will see it correct. Learn the rules too ! Sorry rant over, can we get someone better next year ?

Speedy recovery wishes to Toni Bou!! His X trial fall this past weekend was a wicked one... Sounds like a minimum of 3 weeks out of competition. When was the last time both the #1 & #2 riders were out from injury? Hopefully, both are completely healed up and stay healthy for the outdoor TrialGP season. Trials Life!!

Anyone going to take a trip to Sweden for the WTC? It's going to be a nice course, havn't seen all the sections yet but those I have seen look very spectacular. I'm going to be minder on saturday and hopfully I'll be free on sunday to get around a take some photos.

Saw it on TC page on Facebook Next month's Tong British GP is in doubt because the promotors have withdrawn Talks are ongoing it is reported to resurrect it Shame if it gets dropped

Ok well we will first have to change the name of Moto Trials to Solo Enduro Cross. We will include the building of berms in sections as a standard practice and that may possibly turn into another TC forum topic link (berm building techniques). We here in the states will send over our left over bleachers from our NASCAR events because trials will just blow up in popularity due to the rule just like it did in the 90's. Heck we will even throw in some red neck fans who drink excessively and say ignorant things. (Just keeping with the theme and helping anyway I can FIM ) Now here is the fall out of this revolutionary idea. These ideas will bleed over into other activities.…

I am pretty disappointed with the Job that FIM does to promote trials. The Xtrials happened almost 1 month ago in France and still nop where to be found online! On top of that they took off the youtube video that was circulating. For Fans around the world is hard enough having to know who won it first hand before you even watch. at least they should let us watch after. How hard is it to broadcast a trials event on line??? p*** poor job if you ask me

Just got home from The Hallam Arena (Sheffield)- what a night! The best Shefield for years- even though Doug didn't make the final Bou was the moral and actual (thank god) winner - those team-tactics from Gas Gas sucked. Still can't quite believe how Bou managed to ride the "race barrels" so fast. I've seen them done on the back wheel plenty of times- but not at warp speed- sensational! Marc Vinco was also fantastic entertainment and allowed the commentators the quality line of "Well, we've seen it done on a push-bike" (before the 3 finalists were about to attempt the Q8 Oils section in the final) Fantastic night, and I wouldn't bet against Bou for either world champi…

Have a look at this and see what you would do? My view, it's harsh but as long as everyone is marked the same technically correct. This is footage from last Sunday at the TDN. http://www.iomtoday.co.im/sport/Lampkin39s...udge.3255475.jp

I'll be texting the Sheffield results as the happen back to r2wtrials who will update this thread. Please don't post messages in it!

With TMX saying that Freixa goes to Scorpa next year, that leaves Doug and Fuji at HRC mont. Now bit hypothetical I know but, big but, if you wanted to get the WTC championship back (assumes Raga wins aswell!) would you want the above mentioned or would the departure of one of DL or Fuji give funds to have say Bou and Fajardo for example. Again if doug goes where would he go to? Then theres Caby at Sherco he's done well and would a Fajardo or bou move be a good thing?

He seems to be close, but just not close enough....

I always enjoy JS Jnrs Gas Gas updates and was interested to read his comment about the WC riders are disillusioned and there will maybe only 10 riders next year. Would Jnr like to elaborate or can anyone else shed some light on this subject ? Stormy
