Thanks for keeping us informed, Mr D

LOVE THOSE UPDATES, GENTLEMEN! Keep 'em coming.

I got into trials 33 years ago, and I've never heard of a yellow card! What is that exactly? Is it like a warning/penalty card in soccer?

The real battle is now for fourth in the championship. With only 1 point seperatin 4th, 5th and 6th. 2008 WC standings

Go Doug!

Yes r2wtrials, Cabestany blew his engine when reving it up in the pracicearea and I saw some smoke coming out of the second bike from time to time!

is it right that i hear Cabestany's main bike blew it's engine in the practice session this morning... and his 2nd bike was a bit smokey all day?

He needs a 2t

I was standing just a couple of meters behind when he blow the engine.

Cabestany was struggling all day long. A big crash in section 10 first lap. Could have went ill but he managed to jump off the bike just in time.

Oliveras also had problems. Perhaps the sections didn

Funny thing building sections. I thought some of the sections looked quite spectacular, but on podium Fujinami complained about easy sections

I also saw Caby's bike blow up. Sounded like the cam chain snapped or jumped, total breakdown.

Funny thing is, I enjoyed Dougie being back on form and having fun more than I did looking at Raga and Bou.

Here's Doug on the big step at section 4

And Dibs on section 5

Another high of the weekend was being allowed to test ride one of Dibs training bikes. That bike was perfect. Engine was very powerfull, suspension was great. So now I have to start saving so I can get me a bike like that

Always amazed when a guy, who didn't win, complains about sections being too easy. That is code for "I screwed up when I shouldn't have." Now they are waiting on someone else to do the same, but the sections are "too easy" for that to happen.

Sorry about this OT, but how the heck do You attach images to a posting? Have some images from sunday I would like to share...

Wonder where Andy's pics and vids are. It is beginning to look like money spent on Supporter status is not a very good investment.
