May 25, 201313 yr Isnt he after 1st lap scores? http://www.trialscentral.com/headline-stories/14907-2013-trial-world-championship-round-2,-day1 Edited May 25, 201313 yr by eddie_lejeune
May 26, 201313 yr And he may usually suck on the first day! Nerves, you know! I will predict a top ten finish tomorrow behind Dibs! We shall see.
May 26, 201313 yr Bad back and all. Shades of 2008 - when the kid was on the podium nearly every event - with a fractured back.
May 26, 201313 yr I seen him clean section 8 on his last loop which apparently he had not had much success with earlier. Noel said he said he was sore and tired but he looked great toward the end. If he lands in the groove he should be able to get a top 10 imo. --biff
May 27, 201313 yr Well, looks as though a top ten finish did not happen, just out at 11th. Tough croud there! At least he can hang in the class! I suppose this "open international" class rides blue line? That being the case, looks as though the rest of the US riders took tuition from the Juniors, again! That is WTC level trials! Too tough for most!
May 27, 201313 yr I think the no stop has made it possible for riders like smage to actually compete at this level, wheras last year it would have been 5's all the way for him. Credit to the lad for doing it. However the rules have not increased participation and the fim in stead of warning Raga for comments should tell us what proposals they have to stop the sport dying at this level..............whatever the rules.
