World Championship Chat

Anybody got the dates for World indoors on Eurosport, Cheers in advance Doughbouy

hi all, have just looked at the tv listings on my vigin box thing and according to them the carlisle event is on eurosport 1 22.15 -23.15, not sure how right this is as they do seem to change things about a bit.

The first outdoor round is scheduled for Thursday night 10.30pm to 11.30pm. Eurosport 2 UK. TV listings don't show any repeats as yet so could be your only chance to see it.

I think that the question of who is the greatest ever, Dougie or Jordi, may soon be moot. Baring injury, we are seeing the best ever.

Here it is on the 19 January at 4.00 oclock in the afternoon hope none of you work. 06:30 News Eurosport 2 Morning News (09:00) 09:00 News Eurosport 2 News (12:00) 12:00 News Eurosport 2 News (13:00) 13:00 Snooker Masters Snooker Day 5 (16:00) 16:00 Trial World Trials Championship (16:55) 16:55 News Eurosport 2 News Flash (17:00) 17:00 Xtreme Sports LG Action Sports #3 (17:55) 17:55 News Eurosport 2 News Flash (18:00) 18:00 Snooker Masters Snooker Day 5 (21:00) 21:00 Boxing Live Boxing Flyweight contest A.Bonnel-L.Zemmouri (22:00) 22:00 News Eurosport 2 Night Session (00:00) 00:00 News Eurosport 2 …

anybody know the mens results?

What happens if a WTC rider is baulked by his own minder?

Is it true that the FIM have indefinitely suspended the compulsory introduction of 4 strokes bikes?

Just got back from Fort William. What a fantastic weekend. Section 2 was awesome, the climb up from the river, then back down. Was on the bridge.

I snapped a few helmets today. Let's play; How well do you know your riders? Name the rider?

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...)

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…

Why is it that the World Championship Website is so difficult to use and rarely is as 'up to date' as other forms of motorsport. It just seems so typical of the way trials is perceived and administered. Moto GP, World Super Bikes, Formula 1 and every other sport that is competing for the consumer interest and dollar/pound has a state of the art website with live feeds etc etc. Just a thought as the day after the Italian round, the results are not on the 'official' website.

Blimey - that came as a shock even to me and I hear most things beforehand. One thing that Dabill lacked last year was a consistent minder. He had a world round minder in the shape of Michele of Top Trial Team, who did a great job - albeit with the Italian temperament!, but a different minder for the British Championship. There was no consistency throughout the season. Although I've met Jack, I can't say I know him that well. However, I think having a consistent minder and a fellow-Brit alondside him will do Dibs the world of good. Jack just learns to eat big Macs, talk like Shaughan and not get his a*** out on camera (but we're saving that photo for a special occasion!…

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?

looked on the net and would like to know if you can find results or overall standings from the 80s. Seems that the history on the net is rather thin. many thanks

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

Does anyone know why Raga finished third in the championship, when he tied with Cabestany on 75 pts, but scored the better finish in the final round. I thought the higher place in all FIM championships went to the better finisher in the last event.

I am driving from Durham to Sheffield on Saturday, will the venue be well signposted in Sheffield also where is best place to park.One final question - sorry to be a pest (never been before) how long does the night last? thanks in advance
