World Championship Chat

Casales wins tomorrow but tarres not second he is junior champion. Charles de Quentin is champion already!

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find world rankings? - or european come to that?

As per title. "We" (read, my wife) have made an executive decision to stay in a cosy hotel with swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, etc. etc. on the Saturday night....... ...so have a camping pass up for grabs. I'm not expecting anything for it, i just thought somene might be able to make use of it. If you get in touch with your address i'll post it out asap. Cheers, Roy. P.S. I was looking for ward to sweating out my hangover on the Sunday, but now you'll spot me as the well rested one smelling of chlorine.

I've been following the world scene for close to 10 years now and have NEVER heard or been able to find out what the purse money is in the world events......Do these guys get anything, or do they live off of their sponsorships. I've followed US Supercross for 20 years and was recently bowled over to find out these guys win about $1,500 for a win in the main!! I can see why they drop out so fast and nobody fresh comes in and stays for long.

Myself and some lads from Scarborough have just got back from a long weekend in the Czech Republic watching the world round, the event was brilliant great sections and you could get real close to the action and not loads of hills like at Hawkstone, which was good for us because we had a fair bit of beer the night before so flat ground with the hang over was good. We were there to cheer on Michael Brown and Shaughan and he did not dissapoint, finished in his best position in the championship SO FAR. we might have to start going to every world round to lend our support. IF there is a world round there next year get yourselfs there its well worth it, great venue and beer i…

after this weeks TMX, noticed the the TdNs is in France at Breal sous Montfort. This is only a couple of km from Rennes and makes a weekend jaunt possible without taking time off on Friday or Monday. Currently thinking of loading up the KTM and ferry Portsmouth -> St Malo on the Friday night (arrive 08.15am Saturday) and Cherbourg -> Poole back Sunday night (19h00 sailing). 2 up on the bike can be done for around

Scheduled for 17.30 Thursday 7th June. I only watch it for the scenery and the interviews!

Does anyone know what happened about Marc Frexia riding the Barcelona indoor? I'm sure I read he was an invited wildcard, yet his name has not appeared in the results.

What were others thought's who saw U.S.A's Gas/Gas trials pilot, Cody Webb in Spain? For those who saw him in person this weekend and took photos, may I see the photos. Email them to. craiggernhardt@comcast.net

Quiet here after Pesaro?

Oliveras takes tough season opener. Nice to see the 3.2 take first and third in the first euro round.

Hi all just wondering if any of use know when the provisional dates get confirmed. Was wanting to go to the australian round, dont want to book flights yet in case dates get changed. How long would you guys wait until the event before booking flights. Any info greatly appreciated. Cheers Jase

A British women winning the world trials championship in 2013, now that Laia has jacked her Gas Gas contract?

Can anyone tell me the proposed dates for the trial next year in Scotland.

Will the entire complement of each riders/manufacturers teams come to the United States? Do the riders and teams usaully stay/camp onsite or do they stay elsewhere? How accessable to fans are they before the event? FYI - The 06 WTC:USGP website is up at www.trialsusgp.com

Happy Birthday to Fujigas, 26 today.

is dougie well enough to ride with his wrist?

Did anyone see the indoor from sao Paulo what a killer, some of the sections were unbelieveably dangerous, Fajardo and Lampkin had to resort to spare bikes due to section damage of machines. Obviously the Brazilians were trying to do the riders a mischief!!!!!!!

As a result of an unlikely link between a certain trials rider and Manchester United. I can reveal that Montesa's new signing for the World 2006 WTC is Roy Keane. Whilst Roy Keane's Agent was unavailable for comment, a spokesman not representing Montesa HRC Team confirmed, that the story is possibly true and later went on to say 'is that like scrambling'. Roy has been linked with Montesa follow specualtion that a 4RT was spotted outside of Old Trafford.

Today I was at a meeting trialeros with fans, they answered questions. Cool. Each time sportsmen chose who from them must to speak. On the question "what they would like to do having left the trial" all have suggested to answer it Dougie. And he has very sincerely told he doesn
