It was towarads the end of the ceremony, just before the athletes parade. The Trials riders were on with the ballet. I didn't hear the commentators over here mention them, but they were in the spotlight and this must be the biggest ever audience for anything remotely to do with Trials. Apparently there were 16 riders in all, but as PA noted Trevor Campbell took the lead role and circled around a dancer before leaving the stage.

Hey you guys might get Euro Sport coverage but we get Lizzie ERII to observe one of our trials!!!!

It was a great display running for around 10 minutes, the pressure on the riders must of been awsome, nose wheelies and bunny hopping in front of billions!!!!!!!!!!

Just caught the end of the highlights program on BBC and the bike made a brief apearance, which is the first time a trials bike has got on to the BBC since Kick Start.

Thats not strictly correct.. I recall Anthea Turner's hair ( mid 1990's ?) catching fire doing a stunt involving trials bikes.

She was sitting on the drop tail of a truck when a white and orange trials bike (does that make it a Fantic?) shot by with a pyro' charge going off.

I think she had overdone the hairspay that day as the pyro' charge set her perm alight instantly.. hee ..hee.. shouldn't really laugh.. but she does make you wanna spew!

I now know where Raga got his inspiration for his indoor victory parade ???!!
