All set for best ever UK World Trial
By TMX Archives on 29th Jul 11
Under clear blue skies and uninterrupted sunshine, which is forecast to continue right through to Saturday/ Sunday, preparations were very much underway on Tuesday this week for this weekend's UK World Trial that will take place at Nevis Range just outside Fort William, Scotland.
Under the leadership of World famous course builder Martin Lampkin, a team of workers have been hard at it building three all new man-made hazards back in the start / finish area plus some fresh sections in the lower stream that borders the paddock.
Sections two, 14 and 15 will once again sit close to the main stage, with the final hazard incorporating a new double jump. This goes one better than last year's creation that brought the house down when Japanese rider and eventual day-two winner Takahisa Fujinami (Repsol Montesa) made his huge leap of faith. The arena sections have been carefully crafted by Martin's son and boulder expert Harry Lampkin under the watchful eye of ex World championship minder Woody Hole and promise to deliver extreme action once again.
In the lower stream Martin has managed to squeeze in two extra sections as well as making some more new hazards in the typically Scottish setting. Up the top of the mountain there will be five watery zones all of which can be easily accessed by the gondola.
All in all everything is shaping up for round six of the 2011 SPEA FIM Trial World Championship to be even better than last year's award winning event, which means its got to be a must for all motorcycle fans.
There's still time to hit the road to Fort William, there's all kinds of fun planned for Saturday and Sunday's World Championship Trial is not to be missed! See Toni Bou, Adam Raga, Albert Cabestany, Jeroni Fajardo plus cheer Dougie Lampkin, James Dabill, Jack Sheppard and the rest of the Brits on to glory!
