World Championship Chat

I was just reading the Todotrial website and noticed that Alfredo Gomez, (new World Youth Champion of course ) got a hero's welcome at the airport when he arrived home. He got an audience with the Mayor and let out on the balcony to crack open a bottle of bubbly (F1 Style) in front of his adorning fans gathered outside. Fair play to the guy! It must be something to be a world champion and get that kind of treatment.. Similar to what happens over here I bet

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?

Why is it that the WTC runs during the most moderate seasons, Spring Summer and Autumn. Surely it would show riders true skill ability if the Championship also included the Winter months, from say January to September. It would be a real spectacle to see the top riders riding in frost, ice and even snow. The indoor championship could run from September to December.

Hi I was wondering why there are no American riders in world trials? I've seen them in trial des nation but not FIM indoor and outdoor world championship Do they not cross the pond? Rich

I throughly enjoyed Andorra last year and I'm a little disappointed I won't be there this year. Whilst I always wish all the British riders the best of luck, special mention must go to. Doug. It would be great to see him leap frog Caby into fourth spot, which will be a fantastic achievement by improving on last years rankings. Micheael Brown - Champ. This is where you dreamt of being. Best of luck in riding the full championship course, which will prove valuble experience for next years onslaught. You will be fine and Shaugan could do with the excercise. Dibs. Has had a very good season but to finish in the top six would be awesome. Wiggy. Again another great season…

Which rider do you believe comes out on top?

See the start of the Andorra world round has moved from Naturlandia... shame. Looks like the paddocks are now in the town with just the sections up at Naturlandia. Anyone know of any half decent camping spots close by? Only got tent so hard standing is out! Cheers

Does anybody have any details or experience of travelling to the Andorra roud of the world championship? I note that last year the trial was based in Sant Julia de Loria, whilst this year it is listed as La Rabassa, which I believe is just a few Km away. I'd be keen to know where is the best place to be based & what is the best airport to fly into. Many thanks

Does anyone know if there is a website for Septembers World Round in Andorra.

Yet another fantastic photo of Dougie from last weekend. Why does he always seem to evoke the intensity of the competition more than any other rider? Click here.

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

Going to Sheffield in January and was wondering whether there will be any Brits riding?

He's clearly very disgruntled (on social media) but not saying what happened and who with. Anyone there or heard?

Hi all. Going up alone for the day (on vacation in Spain); just checking if anybody wanted to join me around the course. Have rental car plan to check around the start if the Swedes doesn't start to early; maybe a single or a few of the opening sections in the town for b-group before heading for the main group (5-13) for all teams and over to last group (14-18) and then open schedule depending on traffic etc. Prolly a few sections on main and then final group on second lap. Will cheer on Swedish team (congrats Marcus Igelström to the spot in the team and good work in Portugal Eddie!) ; will be tight with Germany for the B-group with Chech (2-4th) and Aussie team (3-4…

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:

is the indoor trials this weekend on TV anywhere?

That well known organiser of indoor trials has cancelled the Argentinian round of the indoor WTC. That means Raga has only the two remaining rounds Majorca and Madrid to somehow manage to prevent the inevitable coronation of the new heir apparent Dynamite Bou. Whilst this years riding, especially the talents of Bou, has revived interest in the indoor series, its seems as if Octagon are doing their very best to turn it into one big farce.
