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

Hi can anyone let me know where the swiss round is being held and anyother info would be much appreciated, I will be on holiday that week in the alps and was hoping to drop in on sunday. Tanks in advance Andy

Where is he? Seems to have dropped off map? Not another to extreme enduro!!! ?

I was watching the trial on eurosport earlier on in the week. How come the repsol factory team are still on 06 colours? Micheal Browns team mate Daniele Maurino was riding on a 03 Beta not 07? Any ideals?

Last year my wife and I travelled down to see the out door Andorra round. I am thinking about going to the World Spanish outdoor round and was wondering Are the events this year were going to be held over 1 or 2 days with the 1st day being for the youths again?. Also are the rounds going to be no stop or stop?. Has anyone been to Nigran in Spain and will it be a spectacular trials round? :hat:

What a fabulous result for the team in the junior wtc considering Alexz was on the 125 . Congratulations to you all. Roll on 2008 !

Hi all Anybody have any info on the Italian round in July this year? I think its in Erba near Lake Como. Any thoughts on hotels, where,s near to stay etc. would be welcome Thanks

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.

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!!!!!

Headed to TTC to see the best in the world. I would like to have a list of the World, Junior, and Youth?(125) riders and their numbers. Does anyone have access to such information? Thanks, Frank

Any one know where I can get a list of all the world champs from the begining of time? Heath?

Come on...Who won???

Has anybody else had problems getting hold of their tickets for the British world round next weekend? Orderd mine on the official website nearly a month ago but not had any through the post yet. Have tried contacting the guys on the website but no joy. Can anybody help? cheers

Can Fugi continue his Duluth winning streak?

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).

who do you think will win the indoor trial?? its out of fujinami , cabestani , lampkin and raga to win. not sure on graham joarvis hes an out door man fuki has been quite good in the past indoors the same with raga , cabestan8i but its the best chance for raga and lampkin is any one else going

After listening to Dougies and Fuji's video clip and their response to no-stop for the WCT I wondered who would really gain an advantage with the no-stop rule? A four-stroke rider or a two-stroke rider. I know the reasoning would be to ease up on the sections, but how much? If a rider can't stop forward motion who really has the advantage on a world champ type large step? Is no-stop really in the cards for 06?

I enjoyed Shirty's article giving an inside view of the recent contract moves at WTC level. Taking his comment that the top 5 are on good money, and the rest aren't, is anyone prepared to say what the ball-park figures might be these days? Trials obviously involves as much commitment and risk as any other sport, and the period of maximum earning potential is probably about the same as many others (around ten years at the most for the majority of competitors?) so it would be interesting to see how the rewards compare. I suspect trials riders are relatively under-paid, simply because the sport isn't awash with money like some others. I know I stand to be shot down as, lik…

Hi all, I've got the WR dates for August as the 3rd and the 24th. Is this correct?

Whatever happened to Josep Manzano? We watched him at SSDT 2000 I think, thought he was going to be next best thing... now dissapeared. Did he get injured? Never seen anything written about why he no longer competes, can't even be that old
