World Championship Chat

Another WTC here only leaves me with one great impression, as the scores are what they are, but the fine rides of many in saving points was the show! Some outstandind riding in extreme conditions for many! There were some spectacular saves! And many cheers to go along with them, awesome, and throughout the ranks. Top job to all!

hey, i'd just like to thank andy for an excellent set of high quility photos from the wtc at france. them sections looked really hard. thanks again jack

What did people think of the commentary team at Fort William?? We had plenty of laughs at their expense, though I am not convinced they knew a lot about trials or the riders. Instead of cleans we had "clears", dabs become "taps", there were even some "prods" in there! Dabill became Dabeel, Michael Brown better known as Mike and Harry Harvey became Harvey Harry.

Hi does anybody know where the last round of the world trials are in Spain Did read that there is a change of venue ,

Lets call it what it is , Trials Racing. It sure doesn’t look like Enduro and the best riders have heavy Trials back grounds. The Brazil track even had sections of difficult terrain followed by connecting loops. Maybe that will be the future of Moto Trials. Instead of hard to score “Non-Stop” just let them ride through the tough sections and keep time. Fastest finisher wins or is that Enduro then? Another idea was instead of Freestyle Motocross (Moto X) were they get scored on their Tricks make it FreeTryal (X Trial already taken), were a panel of judges evaluates the style, trick difficulty, and originality and produces a score on a 100-point scale. Easily adapted t…

Last Forecast for the weekend, I'm off on my hols now and missing Hawkestone AGAIN However, hope the pics work. What does it mean, well Saturday afternoon could be grim, a band of rain spreading across the country (the blue, green and yellow dots and triangles) through Sat afternoon and into the evening. The wind will pick up a little as well but temps still into the 20s, rain should have pushed through by mid evening and shouldn't water the beer down. (because of the geography around Hawkestone you might get away with only lighter patchy rain but you've been warned.) As long as there enough to irritate King Adam Sunday, no rain and fairly pleasant, though there…

I was going through the emails last night sorting out the prediction league and got thinking about how up and down the championship was this year so, out of idle curiosity decided to graph it. Peaks and troughs for a lot of the riders. Certainly makes things more interesting.

As posted on TC: Trial des Nations Trial des Nations – Changes to team composition: Each Nation will be composed of 10 people with FIM Bibs: 3 Men Riders 3 Women Riders 2 Assistants for the entire team (Men and Women) ...1 Team Manager -1 Delegate Hmm and how many countries has 2-3 decent trials girls. how are they thinking! Btw does all 3 count. Will there be a A/B course for all? Will decimate the number of teams from 20-25 mens *4 + 8-12 ladies teams down to 8-12 teams... Why not run a mixed TDN 2+2 mens/ladies on Friday + Junior 125 teams (3 boys). The thought of a mixed event is good but keep the old mens/ladies event as well. Look at Biathloon where it has…

Not a new situation I know, but looking at this years final championship positions Fuji is the first non Spaniard in 5th place. Looking to next year I think it'll only get worse. Casales returning from injury and you Busto improving fast there could be Spaniards in the top 7 positions. Good job they are only allowed one team at the TDN or they could have finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd!

Just watching and every section they show Karlsson on his Mont 4RT sounds like a 2 stroke.... I'm assuming (as no one written anything) this is very poor editing and montesa aren't slipping a 2 stroke back into trials.

1st Lap: Fujigas - 3 Cabestany - 5 Jarvis - 6 Raga - 7 Lampkin - 12 Freixa -17 This means Dougie fails to qualify. Qualifiers: Graham Jarvis Adam Raga Albert Cabestany Takahisa Fujinami GO GRIMBO!!!!

Well done to Jack Challoner with a great win in Czecho and with it a world championship

So far this event looks to taking some on the riders, Shaun Morris and Ben Hemingway retired?

Well so it's official. And congrats Eddie on the place (not confirmed as late as 3 weeks ago asking him at our season final (he won on a 348 Cota `78 with old tyres) (pics on http://motorfoto.nu/)).Sad though for Dibsta, Busto and Casales not to get the chance however Busto, Casales and Kadlec will prolly get their chance in the coming years and prolly some wild cards 2016. Smart way though to limit the Spanish dominance... outside top 5 must be new nationality... /TJ 2016 FIM X-Trial World Championship Selection criteria and fixed riders for the whole season 2015 FIM X-Trial World Champion: Toni BOU 2 nd 2015 FIM X-Trial World Championship: Adam RAGA 3 rd 2015 F…

So either X trials official sponsor is France or Thierry is getting too old to travel... 5 out of the 8 events are in France???? insane.. --Biff

No sign of Alexz in the top 15. What gives? Is his knee worse than thought?

So the final round of the WTC has finished and I know the results for the top places were decided before today. So out of the 3 Championships contested we Brits won 2 of them? Well done Alexz for your World Junior Championship and well done Jonathan for your World Youth Championship. Dougie managed to keep hold of his 6th place I am sure he will be keen to keep going with the WTC being held in the Fort? James had a steady year as for Michael I am sure he knows himself he can do better and with a new bike for 2010 that may help. So well done all and good luck for 2010 it will be interesting.....................................

Any chance TC can get some of those cool fujigas championship t-shirts to sell, I will take one!
