Hopefully they don`t bring the same obstacles along for the show. Time for a change. I'm not disagreeing with you that making the sections out of the same materials is dull. However the Spanish indoor trials do exactly the same thing with cylinders, some steel dairy lee cheese style boxes and the steel freixenet boxes. Sheffield has been using the same stuff for years. We could do with some new ideas really 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 The upside to using the same sections is the Yorkshire brigade don't have to fork out to watch eight rounds. Just pay for one and watch it eight times. The outcome is the same anyway. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 If gasgas where hoping to get back to the front of the field and be regularly challenging podiums in the gp class then I still think they made the right decision with busto , give him time if he comes good he will be unstoppable , he was s### on the indoor scene with montesa so that was never going to change over night ,as for fajardo I just don’t get it , did he come cheap??personally I think he’s a spent penny and his fire is starting to go out , IMO they should have done whatever it takes to get Miguel gelabert from Sherco , that boy is going places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 which makes it strange that they let cabes go, with his experience wouldnt it have been better with him as a mentor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Will be interesting if Adam finishes out the final rounds. He had surgery on an elbow today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he will. Euro top riders in all disciplines, get some pretty serious Physiotherapy after surgery or injury compared to us mortals!

Will miss the upcoming Spanish championship round. And speaking of injuries, Farre gets MRI results this coming Fri. Hard hit he took on that jump at the last X-Trial! Wishing these 2 mates a speedy recovery!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 That Farrè knee injury I'm still fuzzy on. At first I thought he whacked his knee on the frame, but after watching it a few times I'm not sure if he actually just had it give out under the pressure of a big landing. Hopefully he's ok, he was riding well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's ok, he was riding well. Gave out from that landing(s) - first onto the obstacle, then the jump onto the floor certainly compounded things. He was looking good - lots of potential there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think I'm going to be right though, especially if Bou has a say in it. Watching Fajardo interact with other riders at Strasbourg and then watching Bou still be all smiles and handshakes with Busto reinforces that. Fajardo doesn't seem to like anyone and I doubt he likes Busto very much. The new GG showing Dabill the door half way through his contract, surely isn't making Fajardo feel too comfy. His and Busto's lackluster performance so far isn't making anyone over there sleep well. I'm pretty sure they are already plotting, how to get Gelabert away from Sherco next season. You still sure on that now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhuskys Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Not sure on anything anymore, except if it takes Fajardo another 9 years to win a world round again.... it isn't happening! He definitely seems more comfortable outdoors, than he did indoors. Conversely Gelabert and Bincaz are definitely not showing their indoor form outdoors! I hope he can back it up tomorrow. Busto is a little off the pace in Japan. It seems being an early starter in Japan was an advantage? We'll see what tomorrow brings and if Farjardo can keep it up at the next round in Andorra..... I'll be suitably impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yes early number trial. What I can't get my head round is the fact of no 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Busto wins. GasGas's collective heads explode as Bou goes winless on a weekend for the first time in I can't remember how long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Seems sections were 5 or clean, not much of a "Trial" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
