This TC EXCLUSIVE World Premiere can be found here. It may be a bit jerky first time round. That's due to demand on bandwidth at present, but once it's downloaded it will play fine. It won't work on iPhones/iPads right now. That'll be sorted in the morning. "He's small, he's Japanese and he normally finishes second place to me" - class

I've stuck this on the front page, but it's worth posting here too...

Thank you! I don't think it's strict at all (apart from selling and bloody text talk ) I do ask that things posted are true though as rumour can do a lot of harm and gets me unnecessary grief from importers etc who don't realise that opinions stated are those of the poster, not those of TC

ROUND 03 SUNDAY MAY 15 GLEN HELEN, UNITED STATES Weather: Cold, rain, later sun and wind Temperature: Ambient 18 degrees C Attendance: 22,000 BOBRYSHEV SCORES HISTORIC MAIDEN PODIUM Clement Desalle won his second race of the 2011 FIM Motocross World Championship, but Honda World Motocross Team

BYRNE AVENGES FIRST RACE DISAPPOINTMENT WITH VICTORY NEXT TIME OUT Shane Byrne made amends for the bitter disappointment of a machine problem ruling him out of the opening race of the third round of the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship while leading as he comfortably took the victory next time out. That victory, his second of the campaign, ensured that the HM Plant Honda rider left the North Yorkshire circuit as the series leader, albeit by only three points over the former MotoGP rider John Hopkins who took second and third placings on his Suzuki. The opening race was delayed by rain, but the weather changed and the race was declared dry, leaving the riders with something of a dilemma about tyre choice. Byrne, who had scorched to pole start opted to begin the race on full slicks, but his team-mate, three times champion Ryuichi Kiyonari, taking note of the storm clouds expected more rain and made a more cautious selection. Kiyonari, who had a difficult time in qualifying with machine settings, started from the fourth row of the grid, but was soon losing ground as the expected rains failed to materialise while out front Byrne was heading the action, only to slow a little as a few spots of rain fell. Byrne was almost three seconds clear when disaster struck him on the eighth lap on the start-finish straight, with tell tale smoke pouring from his bike. His race was run, and he pulled off with the Safety Car brought out as officials checked for any oil spill. That bunched the pack, and Hopkins, who had been second to Byrne, led the action, only to be taken by his team-mate Jon Kirkham at two thirds distance en route to his maiden victory in the series. Kiyonari dejectedly finished back in 25th position and for the second race that meant a seventh row start, while Byrne was on the front row and making good use of that as he quickly reeled in opening lap leader Gary Mason riding Kawasaki. Once ahead, Byrne dictated terms, leading throughout to take his second victory of the campaign and regain the lead in the title stakes from Hopkins who had gone ahead after the first race. Reigning champion Kiyonari was full of fight in the race, riding with the style and speed that has taken him to 42 race victories and three titles in the series, and he was moving through the pack in a damage limitation exercise that took him to an eventual 15th place, and a consolation championship point. Alex Lowes maintained his domination of the "back to basics" BSB-EVO class with a winning double aboard the WFR Honda, excelling in the opening race as he finished fifth overall, and then taking eleventh next time out. His team-mate, former Supersport and Superstock champion Glen Richards ran second to him in class in each race. Honda rider quotes: Shane Byrne (HM Plant Honda): "The first race was obviously disappointing for me and the team as I desperately wanted to win and do a good job for our sponsors HM Plant at their home round. In the first race it was a gamble on tyres and we opted for slicks, but it was the right choice and we were able to build up a lead. We were unlucky to have a mechanical failure whilst leading as we have done so many miles on the bikes and it was just a shame it happened in the race. The team then worked hard between the races to get me ready for race two and I had a bit of a strategy to just see how the race unfolded. We tried hard, settled down and then I just pushed to edge the gap and then tried to keep it consistent and control the lead. It was disappointment to elation for me in one day but we were able to end the day on a high and it was a great victory for myself and the team." Ryuichi Kiyonari (HM Plant Honda): "It has been a difficult weekend for me and I have been trying many different changes but we still were running the same lap times, but we have worked hard to try and fix the problem. In the first race it was a decision on tyres and we thought it would rain more, so we went for wets but that was the wrong choice and I just couldn't push. In the second race I had to start so far down the grid because of race one and then it was hard work but we still made passes and moved forward. It is disappointing for me and the team." Alex Lowes (WFR Honda): "This has been a mega day for me, one that I have really enjoyed. I didn't realise I was as high up in the first race as I was. It was good to be running up front. The bike was really good as is the team. Then in the second race, again I had a really good pace and took another victory in the EVO class. And with Glen (Richards) my team-mate second in each of the races it has been a brilliant day for the team."

Official images received this morning - click here

The gallery format used for the daily photos won't let you right-click/save (as I've just found out!) People complained about viewing the galleries and having to scroll down each page to get below the page headers so I changed the format to make the photos pop-up. It's that pop-up script that stops you from saving, nothing I've done. However, once I've finished naming all the photos and re-upload them as one massive gallery, the format is different so you can quickly find and select individual riders from a list. That gallery format will definitely let you save the photos. I should hopefully have the naming completed and full gallery done this weekend at some point.

His lad is now in the picture over Kinell's Mallaig exploits. His laughing and singing "Daddy got lost, Daddy got lost" was highly amusing

Report now on front page

Injured his ankle on Thursday. Did well to manage to ride Friday.

The Lejeune riding is the real one. The Lejeune on TC is not.

Kinell phoned to say he was close to Glasgow about 8am. Not seen or heard from him since. Think he might be lost?

Programme of Events 1:30 and 4:30 Sunday. Cameron Square is roughly the middle of the High St. It won't be hard to miss.

Arrive where though? That is the burning question!

Please note there is currently a press embargo on publishing photos of this bike. I'm aware photos of it have leaked, but unlike others TC will respect these embargoes when in place. Do NOT post photos or links to photos of the 2011 Raga Rep on TC. Thank you.

Issued by the ACU: ACU NORMANDALE PRODUCTS TRADITIONAL TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP Due to a Protest, which was upheld, there will be no points awarded to classes B, C & D, following the Bemrose Trial, held on 20th March, and this round not count towards the Championship. For riders in these classes, the event will be considered as not being held and riders will be able to drop another score in the final classification.

As the eyes of the Trials world turn towards the Highlands of Scotland for the next week, it's time to make our annual changes to Trials Central to bring our readership the fastest and most comprehensive coverage possible of the centenary Scottish Six Days Trial. The main index page of TC has been changed to provide a constantly updated news feed direct from the official SSDT website. This quick and easy to use feature which you'll find on the left side of the main Trials Central index page will take you direct to the latest news on the SSDT site. For those who prefer to while away their time in the popular TC Forums, news articles from the SSDT website will be imported into this forum for comment and discussion. Again, links will take you to the full articles on the SSDT website. Naturally, TC will be in Fort William and the surrounding area from this weekend to bring our own coverage from what is sure to be a memorable centenary Scottish.

The issue with the Euro Championship is, and always has been, getting the information. Maybe Mario will change things this year, but historically it's always been a problem.

Nah, far too small. This is my boat. I'm having the staff bring her up and moor her in Loch Linnhe. You're welcome to join us for Pimms and canapes on the aft deck one evening.

Okay, we can't see the poor bloke travel half way round the world and then get stuck. The Pre-65 doesn't float my boat at all and Slapshot is going to provide me photos from the Saturday at least. Edinburgh Airport is only about 30 mins from my house so I'll leave heading up till Saturday morning and come through and pick you up If anybody could provide me with photos of Day 1 of the P-65 for TC at some point I'd be grateful. I'll be in Ft Will from Sat onwards and have card reader etc

I've had contact from Canadian Guy Smeeth who's arriving at Edinburgh Airport on the morning of Sat 30th April and is looking for anyone who could possibly give him a lift to Fort William that day. Guy gets in at 10:25am. Anyone who could possibly help please either PM me via the forums or email to trialscentral AT trialscentral.com and I'll put you in touch
