Nord Vue is looming fast
By TMX Archives on 25th Feb 15
THE 2015 World Trials Championship kicks-off in Japan on the weekend April 25/26 and just three weeks later on June 13/14 following rounds in the Czech Republic and Sweden in rapid succession comes the British World Trial GP at Nord Vue, Penrith, Cumbria.
And after four successful visits to the venue the event is undergoing its biggest change since its inception in 2009.
The stone quarry will remain as the centre of the trial with eight new, spectacular sections all within easy walking distance.
But after negotiating with the landowner an extended loop now incorporates Blaze Fell (well known to Northern centre riders over the years) which will offer four brand-new, natural sections on the steep banks just a short walk from the quarry.
This formula of man-made and all-new natural sections will give the event an exciting new aspect.
The format remains three laps of 12 sections per day and even with the new layout spectators will still be able to see all of the sections in a day.
And with the quarry area having eight sections it will remain the heart of the trial. The organisers are also focusing on the entertainment for the camping area.
Friday and Saturday evenings will see a time trial for adult riders, while on Saturday evening there is also a special Youth Electric trial located adjacent to the camping area.
The campsite bar will also feature music each evening.
With James Dabill on the new Vertigo, Jaime Busto on the factory Repsol Mont, Jorge Casales having moved to Beta and Adam Raga now hot on the heels of Toni Bou there's a whole heap of reasons not to miss out.
We'll bring you more info as the event draws near.
Tickets and camping are available right now at the lowest discounted prices as these will increase in price over the coming months.
Just log on to www.britishworldtrial.co.uk and tickets will be sent out during the first week in June.
