excuse my ignorance but when is the first world outdoor round and where?

Hi all! Put together a list some years ago; hadn't updated for a few years so was curious yesterday and came up with the following result: 1 20p 2nd 17 and so on... 1 D LAMPKIN GB 265 2 T FUJINAMI J 232 3 J TARRES E 218 4 M COLOMER E 171 5 Y VESTERINEN SF 170 6 A RAGA E 167 7 M RATHMELL GB 153 8 M LAMPKIN GB 152 9 T MICHAUD F 150 10 E LEJEUNE B 142 11 A CABESTANY E 140 12 D BOSIS I 135 13 U KARLSSON S 131 14 B SCHREIBER US 129 15 T AHVALA SF 126 16 M ANDREWS GB 121 17 K KUROYAMA J 117 18 M FREIXA E 117 19 T BOU E 112 20 D MIGLIO I 111 21 A BILBAO E 101 22 P BERLATIER F 97 23 G JARVIS GB 97 24 S SAUNDERS GB 84 25 B CAMOZZI F 84 26 S COLLEY GB 84 …

It was obviously very disapointing that Dougie didn't achieve his 100 WTC round win in front of a home crowd and thus make it 3 British riders topping all the podiums. But it was great to see Fujigas take a momentous win. The pressure of needing to clean the very last section certainly showed at the end, especially for a nation not readily associated with displays of emotion. He is certainly keeping the pressure on Raga, lets hope Doug can also contribute to that pressure. Well done to Browny and Wiggy and Dibs looked to be having a cracking ride on lap 1, shame it went a bit Pete Tong on lap 2. As for Doug's 100 WTC. Andorra.

Results today--- 1 michael 1 2 Alexz 17 3 Grattarola 22 4 Lenzi 28 5 Gomez 33

Good luck to Doug, Graham and all the British trials riders representing GB in the 2005 WTC at all levels.

I have nothing but respect for Doug , and I don

I know there are a number of readers who don't check the front page too often. I have Hawkstone tickets (and a bit more!) up for grabs HERE

I just see the FIM have done a major overhaul to thier web site, vast improvement over the old one and a lot easier to use, not waiting 1/2 an hour for the thing to load. http://www.fim.ch/en/default.asp?item=11

Does anybody have a good picture of the presentation showing the podium they'd be prepared to let me have a copy of...? (I only have one of me stood on it... not quite as elegant as FUJI et al..) SORTED now thankyou!! Andy

Here is an update on the World Round USA .

OK, so on this side of the world it's might difficult to watch world rounds (I nearly made it to last years UK round and missed out on this years Japanese round by a week) but everytime th US hosts a round I get the impression it's the best package on the circuit. A knowledgable but unbiased crowd, best sections, best atmosphere etc. Added to this is that the teams don't rush packing up but hang around a bit. What do the regular fans think?

Could some one direct me to the 2008 Spanich Championship Calendar please .
