World Championship Chat

Happy Birthday to Fujigas, 26 today.

Jim looks like he lapped twin ring so fast!! he burned the wheels off his zimmer.

raga crowned world champ as fajardo takes his first win. (sorry this is all the info i have at the moment)

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.

By my reckoning the season reaches halfway point in France on Saturday night. The Championship orders a bit different to previous years, and Fuji's had 5 day wins, Raga 2 and Dougie only 1. All the remaining rounds are taking place in Southern Europe, so probably likely to be very dry. I wonder what the riders school style reports would look like: Fuji (Prefect)- A good term, excellent progress, keep up the good work. Dougie (Head Boy) - A little disappointing, but a concerned effort with plenty of revision should see success at the end of the term. Raga - We know he can do it, but he lacks concentration sometimes and easily distracted. Likes to show off in front …

As a Dutch trial fan I have to say I'm absolutely thrilled that Zelhem is on the 2026 TrialGP calendar. It's been a long time coming for the Netherlands and the venue looks fantastic for a world championship round. For those who don't know Zelhem — it's a small village in the Achterhoek region, very rural, perfect trial terrain. The local club has done an incredible job getting this on the FIM calendar. Anyone here planning to make the trip? Would love to connect with fellow fans who are coming. I'll definitely be there covering it for my site.

Now that Fajardo is confirmed on Vertigo next year does this mean a strong 3 pronged WTC assault from Vertigo with - Fajardo, Dabill, Moret?? Or, now that Gas Gas been resurrected - I assume with no major WTC rider other than Michael Brown (if doing WTC) - is there a chance Dabill could lead the 'new' Gas Gas team in WTC??

Grattarola v No Stop: did anyone else think Grattarola was the harshly given a 5 on the almost impossible section 8 on the first lap today? After levelling the massive rock climb he "stopped" near the end albeit he kept the bike "moving" whilst lining up the last step out.

Why! myself and 11 others are travelling from Fort William to belfast and i get a phone call today to tell me the organisers have changed it from saturday to Friday and tho its still possible we'll make it with flight times etc surely its a bit late in the day to change. We have young children travelling with us and im sure the rushing about will please them no end.

I've found a little Lisboa's video, here it is:

Having fived the section good on Toby Martyn for doing this just for the hell of it.

Please can anyone give me some info where the trial is to be held also any tips for accomadation near by thanks

As the FIM say we dont need to see X trial qualifying and only get to see semi final and final with seemingly the same 6 riders and almost certainly the same winner, is there any footage anywhere of Pol Tarres and Jotagas in Marseille? Was looking forward to seeing how bike and rider performed at their first X Trial. Does anyone know is Tarres is scheduled as a wild card at any other X Trials?? Guess we need him to qualify to see him on the TV!

Don't have satellite since moving house so no idea what's available, but if you can pick up French Channel L'Equipe21, the the X-Trial des Nations is on tomorrow night and again lunchtime Sunday.

Is there an official website for the World Trials Championship?
