World Championship Chat

i saw advertised in t&mx the chance to watch at sheffield from the riders area. this was at a cost of

This weekends Spanish championship round. Fajardo 31. Raga 37. Cabestany 44. Freixa 47. Bou 68. He's been getting close all year and now has tasted victory, will he be the next Spanish world champ ?

Hey there. Am heading over to the French world round this Sunday and don't have a clue where in Maisse the trial is? Or for that matter how big Maisse is!? Any directions welcome. Thanks, Ollie.

World Round Wins With the 2006 championship starting this weekend, this makes interesting reading

Just watched the Trial on Eurosport and Raga was given a 5 on the last waterfall section. Does anyone know why the 5 was given?

Now fair enough I'm not an Adam Raga fan, but credit where credit is due. This seasons he has won both the indoor and outdoor WTC. Some achievement however you look at it. I think it a little unfair that this event did not even warrant a mention on the front cover of T&MX September 8th 2005 Edition. Are T&MX saving up trials articles for the TrialsWorld Magazine? Which incidently I like.

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

Please post a download of the the 1st round indoor.

The most important battle seen in Belgium since 1815. The runner up spot for the 2005 WTC. Whereas Waterloo was a 3 way battle between the British, Prussians and the French. This months epic encounter features the British, Japanese and Spanish. Following the crash in France Doug showed remarkably courage and determination to finish day 1 and ride day 2, against medical advise. He knew then, that the points would matter. Doug's never give up attitude will prevail and he will still be wearing the No 2 next season. Fujigas has already dropped at least one place in the World rankings. If Dougie can retain the No 2 spot then it has been a remarkably season for him. It will …

I don't buy TMX. Not because I don't like it, but I get more than enough Trials in my life through this website as it is! However, I do like JD and I do make a point of reading his column online every week religiously. I was really looking forward to what he had to say about the Ft Will World Round as he always tells it like he sees it, but it's not online Perhaps a cynical ploy to make folk buy the paper, but more likely it's summer and whoever was responsible has buggered off to Benidorm. Can anybody fill me in on what was printed? (Without breaching copyright obviously!)

The indoor series is for the public to pay to watch the worlds best riders perform. Giving the riders 3 minutes to repair their bike and not allowing a spare bike is a poor idea. To knock Cabestany out of the first round surely was not what they intended. He's Spanish!!!!!

According to the ACU Sport Moto magazine, on page 19 Albert Cabestany is riding a HRD. Sorry if I'm missing the blindingly obvious, but what is a HRD? Also: Antoni Bou on Sherco. Graham Jarvis on Scorpa. Sam Connor on Scorpa. Is this correct, have the ACU got a scoop?

So whatever Jotagas are doing this season it looks like they have some funds somewhere with Oriol Noguera signing to ride Trial GP with them. Interesting choice of rider for them. Seems to hot and cold and not exactly high profile. Be good to see what he / the bike does.

Final notes for those coming to the Trials event of the year this weekend: For those who are collecting wristbands on-site who I've not communicated this to - the Trials Central area will be next to the on-site beer tent. I believe that's to be at the bottom of the camping area, but should be easily spotted regardless. We'll be there both Friday and Saturday evenings. Wristbands will be needed BOTH nights. Any spare wristbands you have then please bring them and return them to me. They're in short supply and high demand. DO NOT FORGET YOUR WRISTBANDS - replacements are not available!!! Please do not attempt to gain entry without official Trials Central wristbands. T…

I believe that there was a non-championship event in Tolouse this weekend - anyone have any results? Wondering how James and Michael (in his first world-level indoor event) got on?
