September 3, 20187 yr 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.
September 3, 20187 yr 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.
September 3, 20187 yr 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
September 4, 20187 yr Author 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.

I talk too much; while you do not talk enough ......... Matteo have form....? section 5 at what trial.... where?....what year?
September 4, 20187 yr Blatant cheating to decide a World Championship and the governing body does nothing,what a farce

September 5, 20187 yr Author 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.

September 16, 20187 yr Talk about making it obvious. He may have still won today who knows, but 2 ...... Farce!
September 16, 20187 yr 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?
September 16, 20187 yr 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!
September 16, 20187 yr 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
September 16, 20187 yr Author Allegedly marcelli fived a section yet the observer gave him a clean. Blatant cheating which resulted in police being drafted in I heard.
