Sam, is an ambassador to UK trials and should win the British Championship in 2006. He won the SSDT this year and by doing so beat Graham. I was at the Hawkstone Park GP and noted the mega sections were all in Sam's grasp, but for one thing, he's not 8-stone boy. This is no disrespect to Sherco but as the SSDT winner perhaps Sam could have had a more tricked up bike for the World rounds, perhaps. From my understanding Sam's bike was stock apart from a head skim, yes this would be enough for most riders, but Sam's abilities lead me to think a full factory ported, big bore machine may have been more to his liking. Perhaps Sherco will offer Sam a full factory bike in 2006. What ever pursuit Sams career takes him in I would still like to think this is not the end, not by a long way!
