July 5, 201511 yr Just to update a little, the entries should be out today on the Ventoux trial classic site. Bike requirements... Engine sprocket guards must be fitted, along with rear swinging arm guards, where the chain and sprocket meet. lights as mentioned must be of motorcycle origin and not repeat not mountain bike type. The do not have to work. Due to some one trying to be toooooo clever last year , later aircooled mono engines 307/309 Fantic or Aprillias with twinshocks mounted will not be accepted . Helmets must adhere and be stamped ECE 2205 , whilst no expert all trials helmets of the last three years have this anyway.. Good luck and see you there.
July 11, 201511 yr Author Metisse, Do I just enter on line through the web site ??? and do I enter all three of our team ?? What about payment ??? Sorry to be a pain - I can manage some of the French but not all of it Thanks The Wobbler
July 12, 201511 yr I have just entered myself, so you go to pre inscription there is a yes or no box to tick to start with concerning whether you need additional insurance.. I have the bike insure and are covered so its a no for me, as for riders in the uk I would think. Pre inscription you just fill it out for yourself like any other entry form. You do however add the name of the other team members in the box provided. Level.. Yellow easier route, Blue middle, Red Hard. You download your dossier, which will appear like a pre filled in entry, print it off and send it to the address indicated. Payment for non Frenchies is cash when you arrive to sign on. Don't forget you need to take driving licence, bike registration details and insurance details when you sign on. If I have missed something or anything else needs to be addressed I will post. Don,t forget the Helmet has to correspond to the regs I posted earlier in the thread, if not no ride. Lights must be fitted but don't need to work.
July 12, 201511 yr Author Metisse , Do I enter the other riders into team as they are even worse than me with technology !!! Thanks again & see you there for a glass of red !!! As always The Wobbler
July 13, 201511 yr Hi Yes I cannot see a problem doing that, each one will have a different dossier number. Print all the different entries off and send in one envelope.. Et volia. Out of interest are there many Brits apart from the normal/ regular faces coming.
July 13, 201511 yr Author There could be up to 3 teams of us .... If they are all up for it !!! If not one definite team !!! I'll try to do it this afternoon - give you a shout if I get stuck !!!! Cheers The Wobbler
August 26, 201511 yr The entry for this trial is now up to 450 riders, the organisers are now seriously looking to curtail any further entries, if you are undecided, or have just entered in the last week you may not get in and have your entry returned.
September 2, 201510 yr Another quick thought... The weekend before this trial, there is a French classic round being held at Sardent, Nr Limoges Creuse. It will be using land also used for the well known classic four day trial, that many on here may well know or in fact ride. Its a new event this year and they would welcome any riders on their way down to Provence that may fancy a warm up. Its a two day event , although the championship is on the Sunday. Camping on site ..

September 28, 201510 yr Just worth a mention the Mont Ventoux trial barely two weeks away had 470 entries, to which it appears 170 riders were unlucky to miss out. So 300 classic riders will enjoy the provence sunshine.. I hope. Safe journey down to the Brits and good luck.
September 28, 201510 yr Author Metisse - could you just confirm the rear sprocket guard details for me ??? Cheers The Wobbler.
September 28, 201510 yr A guard must be fitted to the swinging arm, usually shark fin in shape and positioned down so it covers where the chain meets the rear sprocket. It is a must. In fact all trial in France require this for future reference. Plus not forgetting a working kill button.
