June 15, 201313 yr bet Raga is happier with no-stop now! Toni HAD won 13 total world titles (counting indoor and outdoor together), so he is officially better than Lampkin and Tarres. He'd won 23 STRAIGHT indoor world trials, Dougie never came close to that. But these new rules have created a completely different sport, as we've seen by the fact that for FOUR EVENTS AND COUNTING Bou can't win an event. It's clearly not the same sport, obviously. He's the best ever at trials, but not at Observed Endurocross. Kind of like Taddy would often not even make the top 9 in a world trial, but at world class endurocross events he's been #1 for many years. Different sports. Sorry, Toni, but the FIM has ended your run. But, look, I have to admit that it's nice having the series be much more competitive at the top (3 winners in only 3 venues so far this young season.) Heck, even in the women's series it's a whole new ball-game at the top this year. Edited June 15, 201313 yr by funtrials
June 15, 201313 yr bet Raga is happier with no-stop now! Hehe, I gotta admit, I bet he won't be complaining (he got a threatening letter from the FIM for complaining about the new rules) about the new rules any more.
June 15, 201313 yr Oliveras in the results page from FIM is listed with no team and no bike.....did Ossa dump him? Great result getting in the top 6, even beating Dibs.
June 15, 201313 yr Author Hehe, I gotta admit, I bet he won't be complaining (he got a threatening letter from the FIM for complaining about the new rules) about the new rules any more. Yes . I bet he wish he hadnt bothered. Ha ha
June 15, 201313 yr whether pro or anti no stop, have to admit its shaken things up a bit! ....now if they enforce the rules woo hoo!
June 15, 201313 yr Author what happened to eddie Karlson, 249? No idea . Hopefully he's alrightnot hurt and can ride tomorrow. This was the first women's round wasn't it ? Confirmation that Laia is taking time out from trials. Shes not the first woman to win the WC and not carry on I think. I suppose it was a bit ground hog day for her winning all the time I wish I had that problem
June 15, 201313 yr Re: Andorra Pro Class: a changing of the guard? Yes, I think it's now official. I always thought it would be some here-to-fore-unknown young kid who came into his own as he turned 20 years old who would be the one to finally end Bou's run, but all this time he was a relatively old guy (in this 30's), lurking in the #2 position.

June 15, 201313 yr Perhaps if someone has the e mail for Andy who controls this site they could make a request for a re-name, "funtrials Central"?
