Just talked to maria , she had food poisining really bad , she nearly didnt ride because she was so weak and couldnt hold onto the bike, and as you know shes all throttle!!!!.

In the circumstances she was quite happy with third and will definetly be closer to kramer (as usual) next time out.

So do you all think that Maria is definatly a better rider than Becky, and Becky will never beat Maria ? Don't forget that Becky is a bloody minded & very determined 18 year old, who has a very strong team behind her. Im not sure how old the other girls are.

Becky Maria & Donna are all good and if Maria can stay out of trouble this year it's looking good for the TDN

Maria is without question head and shoulders above the other women.

maria conway is in my opion the best lady trials rider in the world.if she got the same support off the A.C.U that the spaniards get then i think i would be proved right.

I am inclined to think with you on that phys, if Maria had had a factory beta and then Montesa contract then 4 years down the line she might have been closer to Laia and beating Iris.

If the ACu was charging the same as the RFME then they too could spend money on trucks and more widespread coaching, but would we all want licience fees of say
