June 5, 201016 yr The title just about sums it up any one know why he wasnt in the results of the Japan world round did he retire or was he a non starter?
June 5, 201016 yr He's riding the Erzberg Rodeo this weekend. Having made the long trip out to Japan myself I can't say I blame him!
June 5, 201016 yr Say's a lot really. I suppose Doug's winding down insofar as the trials championship is concerned.
June 6, 201016 yr Author Say's a lot really. I suppose Doug's winding down insofar as the trials championship is concerned. Shame really almost signals the end of an era, must be the first world round weekend that hasn't had a Lampkin presence getting on for 16 years, im sure the paddock is a poorer place for it.
June 6, 201016 yr He's riding the Erzberg Rodeo this weekend. Finished 3rd I belive behind taddy in 1st and some german dude Andreas Lettenbichler in 2nd. 2 trials riders in top three
June 6, 201016 yr Shame really almost signals the end of an era, must be the first world round weekend that hasn't had a Lampkin presence getting on for 16 years, im sure the paddock is a poorer place for it. Hes out of his prime now, with the likes of Toni Bou in the compertitions its pretty hard to keep up with the younger era
June 6, 201016 yr Plus, look at the event website Redbull's logo is all over it and they're one of Dougie's major sponsors. Got to please those who pay the wages Aside from that, it's really good to see Taddy doing so well. He's a really nice bloke. Always had time to stop and chat in his days riding WTC.

June 6, 201016 yr Redbull's logo is all over it and they're one of Dougie's major sponsors. Got to please those who pay the wages Why don't you get Jake to rub up Red Bull for some sponsorship of TC? Captive (and impressionable) audience etc. Worth a try.
June 7, 201016 yr Finished 3rd I belive behind taddy in 1st and some german dude Andreas Lettenbichler in 2nd.2 trials riders in top three Think you will find Andreas Lettenbichler is a German Trials Champion, so that would make 3 trials riders on the podium! I remember a programme on the TV where they got the top motorcyclists from each dicipline and they had to compete in each others sports, but not their own! The trials boys came out on top Edited June 7, 201016 yr by GIZZA5
June 12, 201016 yr A very large penny has dropped. AFAIK Doug is now comfortably in the lead of the world extreme enduro championship. From Betas perspective sending Doug to Erzberg as opposed to Japan was a no-brainer. *edit* I see it's not yet an official world championship. That only happens next year.
