World Championship Chat

Did any body see the 30 min Japan World Round At 5.30 yesterday on Eurosport 2 ? The comentator talked about the previous rounds.Does that mean these werent shown ?

Any chance Steve will alter the standings with a podium finish?

Couple of questions for anyone that's been before... Is there anywhere to get a cuppa within walking distance, or is it Thermos time? Roughly what sort of distance is it usually from the nearest section to the furthest one?

When are the videos of the two days of the recent WTC event in Britain going to be published?

Did any one else see the 'dipstick' with BLUE trainers and wearing shorts following a rider in the mid forty's??? riding a Sherco....................... Wot a 'tinhat' He got stuck going to section 10 plus and and burn't his leg on the exhaust.. Wot about Health and Safety for ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dani Oliveras has left Gas Gas and gone to Sherco, and will compete in the Main championship for the blue bikes.

Am I being totally thick ? But did I just read in the GG PR that they are expecting Jeroni Fajardo to be riding in the points at the Portugal WTC in under 2 weeks time. I know that he's having the leg plated, but its still going to be ****ing painful. Not even my mates in the British Supersport would be up for that kind of turnaround from a break - they just love getting plated (sadly) Is RFME making these riders from some kind of different material to us Brits ? Or are GasGas just getting the Superglue and the Tig welder out. If he does ride and get in the points, then total respect to him. It normally takes me about 6 weeks to recover from a fracture, let alone a…

Well done the Fim. A new class has been added to the world championships. International open class, for riders over 16, they will ride the same line as junior. This fills the gap between junior and pro level. So riders too old for junior, but not good enough for pro that want to ride at that level have a class.

Just a heads up that there is FIM trial world championship coverage this Thurs on motors TV, 10th Sept @ 6:55 pm Regards

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.

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:

Just finished watching the Duke DVD reviews of the indoor and outdoor 09 world championship. While previous years reviews i thought have been poor, the 09 series are terrible. The angles and footage of the out door sections are shot as if by an amature. The indoor review fails to show all the sections. These reviews get worse each year. Why is this the case? There used to be different companies that released such reviews, one in particular that was very good, had Woody Hole as narrator. I for one will no longer waste my money on such poor quality DVDs. Interested on other people's thoughs about these DVDs.

Just had a quick look at another couple of charts since I came to work this evening. Saturday, You could be really lucky and only have a few patches of light rain to deal with tomorrow might catch the odd heavier burst but not much, last nights model seems to have overdone it a bit. Pic 1 is three consecutive frames from what we call Morph (no not tony harts wee plasticine buddy) for 12z 15z and 18z tomorrow (1pm, 4pm and 7pm). As before smaller blue dots is very light rain the bigger dots a little heavier, green and yellow heavier still. By proper drinking time it should be dry 24 degrees Sunday looks ok, but there are showers around and you MIGHT catch a couple. Pic …

set your sky+ (that's vcr to you pre65 boys ), the first round of the world outdoor trials is on eurosport2 uk on thursday 9th april at 1900

Having seen several past world contenders ride this years SSDT (main and Pre 65) and also seen the competitive nature of the O40's/O50's at some of this years nationals was wondering if a past masters WC would have any support. Golf/Tennis etc have such a series

Have any of you noticed that a highlight clip of Sheffield has been added to the worldtrials.info / www.indoortrial.com website? Looks like a good site since it will be showing clips well before they are on eurosport. You do have to sign up to their newsletter though. Just thought you lot who don't have SKY especially might like to know. bob

As Eurosport did such a good job of the indoors this year, just wondered if there was any outdoor coverage? Channels and times please, if possible...

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

It would appear that Kinell actually won Day 2!

does any one know any results?surely if raga wins tonight hes got it wrapped up?
