Well said Ish.

Would the trial be better entertainment if it were not a championship round?

Ditto.

That is exactly true Ishy. One other point that folks seemed to have overlooked , perhaps due to expectancy is the result is exactly what everyone would / should have expected isnt it?? Irrespective(spelling) of the bike?

Surely Raga is the best at indoors, Cabestany,past champion,but still technically fantastic and young. Doug PAST champion ,who over the last couple of years has certainly lost his edge(others caught up) in indoors. Fuji has a poor indoor record,and Frexia has been up and down.

The result from sheffield is im sure what most would have expected even if the 3 fat stroke riders were on 2-strokes.....listen to yer head not yer heart!!! So please think for a bit,maybe they are **** and underpowered in your own opinions but i dont think that that was the deciding factor!

I know we are great at knocking those who do well , and i am in no way knocking Doug , how can you ?? But every dog has his day , if not then Steve Saunders should be still winning wc stuff !! They have caught him , hopefully he can pull one last wc out from the outdoors this year and finish on a high !!
