nigel dabster Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Not one to suggest anything underhand might happen in Italy in the final round, but I'd be surprised if Matteo doesn't win the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 It's guaranteed. Seen it myself too many times and the Italians (and the French) are the worst for cheating Observers. However, if Matteo wins he'll finish on 147 so as long as Toby comes second he'll be on 149. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Needs someone to video his riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 video wont make any difference, there was video of Bou restarting his bike at Penrith a few years ago in a no stop trial but the score wasn't changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Matteo (italians) have form. A blown up engine on section 5 didnt stop 3 cleans in the next 3 sections, and despite evidence, no one locally was at all interested. he finished 5th and it will always stick in my mind that regadless they always look after their own.

nigel dabster Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) This was some years ago, and somewhere there was a video of Matteo's bike sucking in a huge gobful of water as he went into a deep part of a stream crossing and hydraulicted (Sp) and blew the head off. I was there at the time and saw it.125 youth WTC Maybe 2008? Regardless after last week's win as Andy has said Toby has only to finish second It didn't decide much as he finished the day a lowly 5th, maybe 3rd in championship in the end.

gizza5 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Talk about making it obvious. He may have still won today who knows, but 2 ...... Farce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Gutted for Toby I was praying for Marcelli to have a late 5 , never mind wasn’t meant to be , will Toby go up to trial gp next year anyway though whilst he’s still hungry ,I genuinely believe he could be a star of be future , got a funny feeling he might be on a gasser next year aswell?

neils on wheels Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think Grattarola had better get back into Trial GP, if he's that good he'll give Bou a run for his money ... in next years Italian round! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Never been that much gap between them,scoring 2 seems very questionable.Losing a world championship in that way,Toby must be gutted.Be interested to see a video of Grattarola's ride and the observing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Allegedly marcelli fived a section yet the observer gave him a clean. Blatant cheating which resulted in police being drafted in I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
