gasgas249uk Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) From what I'm hearing Toni's injury after training is nasty. I'm hearing he's not riding the opening WC round in Spain and it won't mend on its own.Might be a surprise turn up , but I doubt it. It's clearly a pity for Toni and throws the opportunity of a rare win to someone else. Edited April 7, 2016 by gasgas249uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybond700 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 That would be bad Would love to see Raga e.g. win, but not in this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neils on wheels Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I agree this is not how I'd want the results to be influenced, but if it sets up a chase for Toni to recover lost ground after the opening round(s), that might just be the best bet we have for some uncertainty after a decade of world trials domination.

gasgas249uk Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Bou is out practicing but is clearly suffering and was neither practising the huge stuff and not out there for as long as the others. He's accessing according to the boss. Based upon the fact that he was put there I recon he'll be out tomorrow but at much less than 100 %. There was a minutes clapping and remembrance medals given out at the start in memory of Martin Lampkin.Good job by Jake Miller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc2028372 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Ultimate respect for Martin by the current best. I suppose mr B at only 70% of his powers is still a top 4 man!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Toni knows he has no chance of winning. He's just out to get whatever points he can today whilst trying not to make the injury any worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I've always been interested in these scenarios when it comes to the most skilled sportsmen on the planet...Senna not driving the best car in the field sort of situation. Some sportsmen spit the dummy out when things don't go their way or the cards are stacked against them. A different type of pressure for the 'undisputed' world champ.This could be intriguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Second place. Raga totally failed to capitalise on the situation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Second place. Raga totally failed to capitalise on the situation Proof positive Bou isnt human. Ragas early five was his downfall. --Biff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Was Bou grown in a lab and infused with Bio-engineered cybernetics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Bou was 2nd today. He's just amazing.His shoulder is def injured though but it doesn't seem to matter to the results to much. He wouldn't hold his trophy up at the end like the others. I'm told this is the movement that's the issue ... so not as important as it could have been. He just can't get anything out of the kitchen cupboards back at home. The sections were mostly on the woods with only a few spectators. Big jumps and leaps.Huge huge climbs going on forever . Really imaginative thought out and much better than a lot of the World trials ive been to. The sections looked and rode really well. I think they were a little easy though to be honest. Not for me obviously .. but for those guys. I wiped my rear caliper off on the first lap but luckily found it on the 3rd. It's like an enduro between sections. Just flat flat out with some pretty hairy downhills with no back brake. Great fun. Roll on tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc2028372 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Bou can surely view this as a victory because as 'good' as Cabs is his only real challenger over the course of the champs was 3rd. What happened to Pune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
