Totally agree BJ. Every year the ACU notify me, every year I promote it and every year it is cancelled due to lack of commitment. Different year, same complacency.

This has been cancelled due to only four confirmations of attendance.

Asked Martin that very question in San Marino. Yes it's on, but I didn't ask date. Presume early January as usual. He didn't know at this stage if it would be part of World Indoor Championship or not.

That is wrong on so many levels I'm even wondering if I should allow it on TC

Paddock talk at world rounds. The Bou part is almost certainly true. The Fajardo part is just speculation. The bike is being formally released this weekend in Italy. There has been rumour of rider being announced then too, but given Fajardo (or whoever) is still under contract to their existing team till end of season I see that as being unlikely, but you never know with the Spaniards!

Apparently Bou has signed a contract for Montesa for next year. Fajardo's name has been mentioned more than once with regard to OSSA...

You didn't hang about!

Well spotted!

The precise reason for this happening is not known, but it is known to occur if you arrive on these Forums via a Google search. That then affects all other topics you look at, not just the one that you found via Google. Fortunately, this little quirk is easy to fix... At the top of every topic, towards the right hand side there is a little box with "Options" in it. Select that and then from the drop-down menu, select "Switch to: Standard" Hey presto - problem solved and everything appears as it should

Now up on front page

Rappers had a week off to go touring Ireland. Latest column arrived on schedule last night, but I was in transit back from world round in France (still am - typing this from Manchester Airport). Back to normal schedule now and latest column now published

TC Supporters have had 40 minutes of top Trials action from this event for yonks now! (and you don't even need to subscribe to Eurosport to get it!) PS. Will be providing video from this weekend's world round in France, San Marino the weekend after and Italy the weekend after that. Gonna make damned sure I get my 500 Euros worth out of the remainder of the WTC

Look, that talentless bint Jordan's transvestite hubby wears one, so they must be brilliant

I don't buy TMX. Not because I don't like it, but I get more than enough Trials in my life through this website as it is! However, I do like JD and I do make a point of reading his column online every week religiously. I was really looking forward to what he had to say about the Ft Will World Round as he always tells it like he sees it, but it's not online Perhaps a cynical ploy to make folk buy the paper, but more likely it's summer and whoever was responsible has buggered off to Benidorm. Can anybody fill me in on what was printed? (Without breaching copyright obviously!)

On t'front page now

Not this time! You'll still see him on the online user list from time to time. Last PM I got a few weeks ago stated family and work commitments.

Loads of these springing up. They're not allowed on the Forums as per the Rules you all agreed to on sign-up. Please us the free Classifieds accessible via the front page of TC (seperate sign-up required) for all Wanted/For Sale Ads.

DAY 2 VIDEO ADDED

I know this is on the front page, but I also know not everybody reads that. I'm chuffed to bits to announce that TC will be main sponsor of the 2010 Scott Trial. This further affirms my commitment to re-invest income from the website back into the sport so thanks to our advertisers and all of you with "Supporter" badges for making this possible Now - who's up to ride for charity in this year's Scott?! You're not expected to ride the whole event, but we will be looking to put one or more "relay" teams together to help raise funds for the Scott Charities. More info to follow once Perce puts down his Swaledale sheep and provides me with it

Was going to start a topic on this myself, but I didn't quite know what to say. I totally understand the reasons (Eric is 77 years old after all!) but this news saddens me greatly He's such a familiar sight at the World rounds and very much one of the Team as well as being a perfect gentleman. It's not going to be the same not dropping round Eric & Ellen's camper for a cuppa and a biscuit, or Eric turning up in the press room with bottles of beer for the workers or watching him work his patter with the ladies (he might be 77, but he still has the patter!) I know Eric lurks on here so I'll stop now before his head gets too big!, but Enrico, you and your good lady are going to be sadly missed on the world scene - I'll have to talk to Jake now!

Bigfoot is responsible for most of it - as if he didn't have enough to do last weekend!
