I have noticed that there always seems to be a couple of photographs taken of Laia Sanz riding a section, whereas most other riders seem to get snapped once. Not that I find this a problem as this girl is one hell of a rider! Andy, Has she taken over from Linda Meyer? Or is it pure coincidence? PS the phots you've taken and the sheer number is outstanding.

Ricksta, If your a member of the Richmond Club you will have received some generic letters to address and send off to DEFRA, RPA and your local MP. Get them filled in a posted. If your not a member you can download the letter and the addresses of DEFRA and RPA from the Richmond Club website. I to was looking forward to Parkrash and the Gerald Simpson so I'm well pi**ed off. Theres also a lot of people really disapointed the Blue Bar's off as well.

Seriously Marky Boy. How much do you want for the riding shirt. It would look good autographed by Doug and framed.

You'll be changing your outfit then as well.

125 Crew I think Steve Colley's already spoken for.

Type of tubular sweet made of a very hard candy. Found at sea side resorts.

Pop in your local friendly newsagent and ask him / her to get you a copy. I'd be surprised if it wasn't there the next day. Its as easy as that.

I was pleasantly impressed with the content, good well writtem articles and photos. Although the 4TR test was a bit vague. Hopefully they can keep up the good work and even improve. 7/10

doesn't it look much neater with that flat tank. Mind you I don't suppose it holds much juice. I bet Ben's filling it up after every section. I wonder what other mods it has? Fork legs don't appear to be in carbon fibre/

It was fantastic to see Doug on top of the podium, where he rightfully belongs. I don't think it matters if he's riding in Cabestany's back yard with his Mum observing. If Doug's on top of his game - he is quite simply untouchable. Go on Doug!

I understand its open all week, is this true. I fancy getting the chimps together and having a run out there.

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

I know the rough directions to Addingham Moorside but where exactly do you go to?

I wear Specialized Body Geometry gloves. Having worn Clice and Hebo in the past the Specialized are so far harder wearing and certainly cheaper. Another advantage is they are suitable for trials whereas trials gloves lack the required padding for mountain biking.

About 50 pairs initially.

Perce, So you've noticed my distinct riding style then? Marky Boy, Similar to a puppy not being just for Christmas. A new trials bike is for riding and not decorating. Mind you if it was a puppy the RSPCA would be after me. CK PS I think bubble wrap is cheaper.

I seem to have accumulated more scratches on my frame in 2 trials than I did in riding my previous Sherco for a year. Apart from covering up the wounds with stickers, does anyone have any suggestions for making them look a little less angry. Thanks

The red gassser in questions belongs to Ian Hopley and its not, I don't think, an ex Colley bike. I'm sure Ian had his done first and it certainly look better. Colley's looks like either red lead or the paint used for post boxes.

Fajardo is a class act. It wouldn't surprise me if he won the Outdoor WTC before Raga.

Stu, thats the last thing you want to do!

I wouldn't mind throwing my leg over that and having a quick squirt around the yard.

Do they know what a trials bike is in Wimbledon?

Nothing to pay in Bangor, but that was rocks and seafront, not a proper motorsport venue with all the costs associated in hiring such a place. Bangor was my idea of a perfect motorsport venue, places to sleep, drink and watch trials. Its a big shame there isn't a venue on the GB mainland similar................... Or is there?

Montesa have the confidence to put their 4 stroke up against the proven 2 stoke machines. No other manufacturer, with the exception of Scorpa, can do this. If the indoor WTC was limited to 4 stroke bikes, Montesa would win. If the outdoor was limited to 4 stroke bikes, Montesa would win.

And tyres, tyre pressure, helmets, registration plates etc etc Will you be putting the mirrors and indicators, that normally come with Monts on your bike?
