Is the Dabster gonna give it a go?

We used to have a guy who posted on forums called Timpea. Was the brother of Chris if I recall correctly

Squeal piggy squeal!

I heard that Geordie Boy quite fancied the runner-up spot himself...

Personally, I thought it very public-spirited of him to support the Washington Legal Foundation

Both are using photos that are my copyright. Should I sue?

Gents, Your regs are now on the front page I even headlined it!

Complete rip-off compared to previous years.

I would suggest, if possible, you give your business to B&B. They're a sponsor of this site which keeps it free for you lot!

Got the last room at the Macdonald.

Cota Kid was in Germany and gave me a tenner last night to be donated to the charity of your choice. Name it and it will be done.

I only found out at the weekend that Freixa got married last month too. After his performance at the weekend married life must be doing him some good!

Lew's post was deleted. Firstly he used text-talk which is not allowed and secondly it was totally irrelevant and added no value to the topic.

My take on Germany... One of the best rounds of the season. Certainly the most varied course I've seen this year (though I missed the initial rounds). Very well organised although not great for the press following the Trial being such a long loop and the observing was tougher than I've ever seen at any Trial. My take on some of the riders - Freixa - VERY unlucky. Rode the best I've ever seen him ride. He deserved the win. Dabill - Awesome debut. That guy is going places. Grit, determination, no fear and he believes in himself, but he's not cocky with it. Raga - Can't take it away from the guy. There was a lot of pressure on him this weekend - especially on one so young, but he kept his cool and came up with the goods. Michael Brown - First class ride on Sunday. Another one with potential. His minder's a bit mental though Sam Haslam - Quiet, gets on with the job and a great result for him. Dougie - One day I'll figure out why he leaves himself with uphill struggles and then delivers when the pressure is really on. One that nobody has mentioned is Grimbo. Awesome second lap on Sunday. 13 dropped for the lap to equal Cabestany and Dougie on the day. More cleans than Cabestany too which I doubt Cabestany was happy with as it pushed him down a place. Fajardo - Hmmm.... Just how many minders does a guy need compared to how many he's allowed?????

That's what he's known as! Either that or "Guitarman"

Andy yesterday: "12th place. You must be pleased with that" Dibill: "Nah, could have done better"

Yeah - it's worth it to see somebody play ice hockey in a restaurant using their ashtray as a puck! Can't take him anywhere

I didn't devise the maps. They're a download pack.

Beautiful weather when we arrived yesterday, but dull and rainy today. Sleepiest little town I've seen. One restaurant, no pubs! They do have a massive beer tent in the paddock though Will post some section/practice photos later today.

I got an email from them today saying results would be on their way.

I still see this as Raga's one and only chance to take an outdoor title. Can see him dominate the indoors for a while, but a bad year for the Montesa boys and Fajardo's injury has pretty much given him the title. If Fajardo is at full strength next year I fully expect him to be right up there. Bou is young and still gaining experience, but has tons of potential. If Fuji loses his title then he'll be fighting hard to get it back and then there's Dougie. He wants that eighth title and probably wants it even more than he did his first title so he'll be fighting hard whether it's on a Mont or A.N. Other. All in all, I think it's going to be a great year, but feel the FIM need to make a stance on section severity.

Nope. Doug's contract is up for renewal this year. PS. Dabster - the Freixa/Scorpa thing was first mentioned, albeit off-the-record, on this site on 10th July. Just remember, around this time last year we had a good source that said Raga was signing for Montesa. We announced it as it was a good source that I had no reason to doubt. TMX jumped on the bandwagon. It turned out not to be true. That's why I don't speculate. When the papers are signed and it's announced, only then is it fact.

When you posted your Ad you will have seen warnings about fraudsters and some of the tactics they use. If you are in ANY doubt, walk away.

Go to the front page of this site, type video into the seach news archives box below the headlines and you'll find loads there.

Here's some I put together a while ago. Must get round to doing some more.
