I have to ask, how it is that our british number one could not compete after crashing out damaging his bike. Why did he not have a spare bike

Might be more to do with hurting himself on that front. Probably suffering from not running more often indoors. Maybe the format should be tweaked to allow three riders with one dropped score.

Surely the essence of trials riding is still that you DO NOT have a spare bike? Or is that another *******isation of the indoor rules?

Please give some credit to Michael Brown, he is your number one rider

I thought both our boys rode very well. My point I was trying to make was had another bike been available a better position could have been gained. I thought it was standard practice for the top boys to have two bikes.

he didnt hurt himself just holed the radiator, going by the tv pictures.

had one bike as was riding in yorkshire next day?

Brown rode well, As he always does, 100% effort, But Dabill was dissapointing, For being the number 1 UK rider & British Champ, His riding should be better than that, He started off well & looked confident, But again he let himself down by another stupid mistake. & that mistake cost the UK Team Of a possible second place.

In my opinion, Alex Ferrer rode the best (apart from Bou), & has been riding well recently.
