chewy Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Roving report from Carpentras France..went last night 7 Zones (sections) spread through the town, zone 5 was the most difficult where only Rahga & Fujinami actually cleaned it. it was a selection/jumble of Tree runks (big) ..when I say Jumble it realy was very cleverly marked out just centimetres off line meant a fiasco. Fantastic atmosphere large crowd (free entry) Fuji & Raga put on a show whilst results were collated.. how does Fuji do those wheelies he gets the bike over bacwards ( i.e he front wheel in air but back wheel in front) It was a close result as Rage got back wheel off line by a fraction on a big pipe where "you" needed to get a big (read massive) handfull in 3rd to launch it into space..boy did he bolock his minder.. then he bent a back brake disk..they changed the wheel ..he tested .no good ..another wheel.. ok on with the show but that 5 nearly gave it to Fujigas. Only word of advice to futre visitors don't buy a coffee at the cafe Rich 10 euros for 4 thimbles of coffee argh!!!!!!!! My sponsord rider in France Jerome Bethune was the only other rider to get near to exiting section 5 but he seemed to run out of time in every section getting old I guess. The show finished at midnight with prize giving.. proper reports and videos on other sites probably. Hope this gives a taste of trials life her in South of France. Next trial 4 days of Cruise where all those beer drinking brits invade and engage in fruitless conversations with oobservers..really funny to watch but thats another story..for those guys coming to Cruise or Haut Vosges this year the control tecnique (scrutineers) have so far been very "hot " on sharp edges ..handlebar grips.etc.and as usual lights that work. wishing I was 30 years younger all best to all TC folk.
