World Championship Chat

Let there be no doubt. With his win in Andorra today Bou is World Champ and the cancellation of the final round in Belgium had no effect on the final outcome. He could have sat out Spa and still been Champ. Well done Senor Bou !

just watched tonights trial on Motors TV, Bou in the last section had me grinning from ear to ear. what a superstar.

Hi This is worth a look, the slow mo is fantastic, www.photobysergio.fr/bou-cabestany.html Sorry cant do the clicky thing. Love to know the banter thats going on. Who is this bou, when i see him ride he reminds me so much of myself

So was it all down to beginners luck and, following on from Raga's win in Marseille, has Bou's Bubble Burst? It was Bou's turn to have a mechanical failure, although nothing major, but it does seem to have affected his confidence, as it affected Raga's in Russia. But can he regain the lead, in what is panning out to be one of the more exciting indoor championship in recent years.

So Dynamite Bou has lost again to arch rival Adam Raga, this time in the Spanish Championship held on 24th June 2007. So has Raga proven in consecutive outdoor competitions that Bou can be beaten, which may prove an advantage before this coming weekends WTC Round in Italy or will Bou simply bounce back and show it was just a minor hiccup in his quest for his first outdoor WTC crown, to match his indoor one.

does anyone know what make bou's helmet is it has an xc-ting logo on the front - have they released a helmet thanks jack

Have a look at motorcross digital. com excellent interview and insight on bous bike and the montesa set up, including a bit on why dougie left. Takes a bit of finding but its there. http://www.motocrossdigital.com/

Who mentored Toni Bou?

This is on in town tonight I'll be there with camera

Who in the "F" decided that Guatemala should have a world round instead of the United States of America? With qualified and proven trials venues in America that have had incredibly positive reponse from the riders, someone decided that Guatemala should have a world round. That's about as smart as Jamaica holding a winter olympics. Hey, at least Jamaica has a bobsled team. Somebody tell me who or what trials is happening in Guatemala. What the hell do you think is going to happen when I get kicked out of a third world county venue? I'll never see America again... Oh wait, I get it now, nevermind. Now you're going to tell me that Ahlers headed the committe to have …

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?

Has everyone been getting there tickets ok, we recieved an email saying posted 8 days ago but they havn't arrived. Not answering emails or phone. Anyone else having problems.

Does anyone know where the British round will be held next year ?.

I have just had the following email from the ACU regarding next years WTC. "We have received a provisional list from the FIM but at present it doesn't include a round in the UK. The only possibility would be Ireland which we have no knowledge of at present as they have their own Federation There are two 'tba' entries on the list so we will have to wait to see who they are. It is a bit early yet - perhaps you would like to e-mail me again in a few weeks". Many Thanks Alison Has anyone heard anything about the British Round or even if there is going to be one ?.

Whilst having the greatest respect for all the riders who will be competing in the British world round on july 31, i hope they are the one's that will be getting all the profits from the event. After visiting the web site i can't help thinking that some one is out to make money on the back of the trial, i just hope that the riders ride on a percentage basis. After all they are the one's that risk life and limb weekin weekout in persuit of there dream's. If this event will be live on BBC tv like the sport of Darts !, i would pay twice the ticket price asked. If the organisers of this event and the A.C.U. could get the TV Directors interested in this event, trials mite …

Silsden!

Day one....Dougie podiums...fantastic

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

Something to be aware of if you plan on riding Trials in Europe this year, particularly the young lads and lasses gearing up for the World/European Championships. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46891186 (I'm locking this because this isn't a political forum and I don't want the usual suspects spouting a load of bollocks about Brexit...)

With the withdrawal / retirement of James Dabill and Jack Price from Trial GP I think that leaves only Dan Peace as a UK rider in the top level for 2021 and possibly on 10 riders overall. You'd probably assume that 1 or more of Fuji (nearly 41 ?), Raga (38) and Fajardo (35) are nearing the end in the next few seasons as well. Pretty bleak outlook for the sport at it's highest level, and don't see many Trial2 riders wanting to make the step up. What are the issues / reasons? Cost - harder to get sponsorship and funding? governing body? Rules? Manufacturer support? All of these? Think Dibs was expected as he'd hinted at it a couple of years back, but Price…
