cota kid Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 After losing the 2007 WTC on the cruelest of rules (last goals the winner) it was good to see Laia Sanz back at the top of women's trials, not that she ever wasn't. At the moment she is way ahead of the opposition, however Becky Cook is becoming a serious challenger to Iris Kramer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city trials Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Let's not forget our lone American. Looks like Louise jumped up many spots from Luxembourg in the beginning of the year. She wasn't even in the top 10. Well done, Louise. 5th is very admirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yes she is defintely number one but her score should have been doubled. She got ones when dabbing with engine off once and when laying down on the ground. Kramer got a 2 when waving the leg in a gully. The observing was a bit inconsistent... The british girls were riding OK in a relative tough trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 She does get the rub of the green but I suppose it goes with the territory of being a world champ. I once saw her five a section but the observer gave a three, which she argued to a one. I wish I knew how to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I want to give her a five, just so we can negotiate the outcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These women deserve the same respect the we would demand for our mother, sisters or daughters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 These women deserve the same respect the we would demand for our mother, sisters or daughters. FFS! So the men deserve the same respect as we would demand for our Fathers, brothers & sons? Maybe Cope' meant that he wanted to be dominated and abused by a fiery Spanish woman...

copemech Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 You may both be correct! She is a helluva rider, yet she has a demonstrated reputation for conduct when things do not go her way! Full of fire she is! In need of a good spanking at times!

cota kid Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Carla Calderer, now she makes Laia seem timid in comparison. I've seen her scream a torrent of abuse to her minder, when all they did was advise on the line in a section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manx2day Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ah yes, Carla, she gave many hours of humour at last years TdN on the Isle of Man. She was never happy all weekend, certainly made a few of us giggle anyway! Poor minders i say! I also seem to remember that Laia shouted the odd obusive remark to her minder aswel, she took too long mulling over sections in my opinion, which cost her the world championship.
