ysb Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yes could not agree more, Grimbo looked bang on form, watched him ride quite a few sections and he rode them as good as anyone out there, Do you think he will make a comeback ? well done grimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Grimbo did have a great ride and certainly proved he is still capable of riding at the very highest level. I previously stated I didn't think he should be in the TdN team but a performance like that is difficult to argue against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny beta Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Why cant more riders take part in the world championship. Surely the likes of Marc Colomer, Jarvis, Amos, Cobos could still be out there giving a good performance. Around the years of 2001-2004 the world championship was the best, were you had 2days of world trial and the likes of the Hemingway bros and that sort of level of rider were able to take part in it. for me the world rounds arent the same as they were back then.

cota kid Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) I understand that next year the FIM are returning to the 2 day format. Unfortunately Cobos had to retire due to a serious knee injury. Edited July 31, 2007 by Cota Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 As with everything it's down to money. It costs a lot to move the "circus" around and given the limited market for Trials it isn't possible to fund more than one or two riders per team. (Unless you are Honda!!!). Graham could do more European rounds but that may well be at the expense of the British Championship. It's an expensive business doing any National series so I tip my hat to those that can find the money to do both the British and the Europeans.

daggs888 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 At the end of the day, Grimbo has been underated for a few years now without serious the sponsership support of others .. but as the head of sherco you would need to make a choice ............ Grimbo or Cabby ! (unless you are the head of Honda ! only one main rider can be given the full sponsership treatment,,,,bespoke bike development, trainers, diet and fitness plans etc). Oh, Grimbo can also go an enduro ..... the word Taddy springs to mind !!! (previosly him and a couple of his mates stuggling around the World Trials circuit ..... now a 80 man strong team of ktm pro's on tap .... and about 500% more money in his pocket to boot.

spud Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Graham is great guy and what a blinder of a ride I only wish I could have been there. If I had the money and knew of people who have a passion for our sport like I do, but have been are little more fortunate than me with money owning a company or having a little extra cash wouldn't/shouldn Edited July 31, 2007 by spud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a slack dab Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Some nice words spoken about a genuine lad who lives for trials. After seeing the results I sent him a text to congratulate him on a great result and still being able to give them a run for their money He replied that he was supprised with the result also, but was sorry he did not have time to stop for a chat (but he was at work) So well done Graham and lets have a win this weekend at Brimham Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Grimbo was a joy to watch on Sunday. No pressure on him and he looked like he was really enjoying himself. He does, however, need to commit to coming out on the lash with the rest of the Brits after the TdN this year instead of wussing out like he did last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as iow Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Graham, Ole & his minder etc and all the Sherco team have spent the last three days training the young MRS Sherco riders, and everyone is having a great time aparently. At least Sherco seem to try and put something back into the sport which is good to see. I've also heard that i will need to order a new exhaust & rear mud guard from aniti Roda when the distructive little brat gets home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm not sure its "putting something back" more helping the youngsters/ supporting the loyal and no one can fault Sherco for this. Its something that they have done for a few years and a real shame the other manufacturers don't follow suit. I hope it pays dividends for them in years to come.

jezza Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Anyone see the little trick Grimbo performed as he exited stage left on the back wheel after the final lap? Sure sign of a rider who had enjoyed his day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
