The " junior" class was introduced to encourage younger riders into wtc, and ditto "youth" class, some ten or so years ago

Theres been 3 routes for at least ten years.

its overcrowded because of riders like gratterola.

he will be in trial 2 again? on a 250?

yes 1 min 30 seconds but setion length at btc less than wtc. again i hope that someone can take an overview and look at time factor vs, section length and severity and make sure it works as it should.

you dont think that Adam and Toni are the best riders ever in tackling the hardest sections ever?

automatic timing no whistle, but yes judgement if spindle is out. At world level a few years back i mustve watch hundreds of section attempts but judgement on was it out or not maybe a couple of times.

Think dibs is still Beta.

I think signal may be a problem with 3 day, possibly s3 too.

It was the simplisity (sp?) of the system and the efficient way it worked that would be ideal for BTC or WTC i was in no way advocating its widespread usage at ACU events. In clarification its a great system that probably needs a phone signal and would be an excellent alternative to punchcards and would once set up avoid extra work. Personally i didnt look at the results instantly as i had lost so many marks it was the system that seemed to offer a fair alternative, nothing more. I actually used it to locate a mates location behind me on the lap. If entries went up a few quid i wouldnt complain and am a supporter of the ACU 100%. It should be noted that i also support a rise in Trial registration fees so the acu can compete with contintental federations possibly in this way and any others we should be.

when there was a change in suspension at gas gas i know the ohlins guy spent a couple of weeks in spain.

Sammy's not right here. Practically it's a non starter, to limit tyres would be impossible now, and I'm not sure there would ever be a consensus to do it. Stopping is not related to tyre design either.

Having ridden in the Costa Brava 2 day trial again this year, a great event, I was very impressed with the results system. Each bike had a "transponder" and score was entered at the end of the section, much the same as punch cards. This was then sent to central score system. Instant results!

Hmmm.

The lightness will be directly related to the choice made on variable plate on a 2019 as much as anything?

youve definately set the pack height?

stop allowed is very often better for beginners

Casales confirmed Gas Gas

It will be less judgement calls whether better or not remains to be seen.

corrected, i was answering one question then edited it so it answered in sequence etc etc but deffo a 1, apologies, always has been one for a foot down regardless of rules.

corrected, i was messing with my answer, stop foot down deffo a 1

dont think dibs is beta...........

Much better than present system for observers

footing and going back is the easiest judgement call toes are dabs, always have been except indoors stopped with foot down 1
