Andy Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes, I know about it and no, not the end of no-stop. The end of the world maybe, but not the end of no-stop. :rotfl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasgas249uk Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I suppose old rhino skin hasn't put up with all the rubbish to give up now. Maybe they are reducing the minimum weight oh no , i forgot for a second. Honda has them in their pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshock250 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 As above, i'll guess its to do with electric bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Maybe rule changes are coming ?. Crazy idea - To self enforce no stop rules which are being partly ignored , marks will be made up of dabs lost and time spent in section. Ok - far fetched ...but an impossible idea ?

neils on wheels Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 This reminds me of an old Alexi sayle joke: "I'm a gossip columnist in Stoke Newington. It's a big piece of paper with "F*** All" written on it". Mr Ignacio Verneda - FIM Chief Executive Officer together with Mr Thierry Michaud - FIM CTR Director will be present at this weekend’s Italian Trial Grand Prix to make an important announcement concerning the future of the FIM Trial World Championship / FIM Women’s Trial World Championship and the FIM Trial des Nations.

baldilocks Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 As much as I prefer no stop sections even I can't accept the rule change has made world trials better to watch. I think in part this is due to the sections and venues not really being set for no stop. Venues are picked for trucks and Internet access, sections are basically stop permitted style still. The other problem is that people just cannot observe it in real time. Either allow stop and reversing and re introduce the time element or have rules for sections such as distance between boulders for man made sections.Having riders traverse flat grass between a couple of rocks isn't what I had in mind for a no stop section.
