Savage Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Interesting..........I wonder who will make the team and what classes will be entered. I can think of one Ladies team member, that leaves 9. Are there any juniors planning to ride, that will cut the numbers down again?Ben.

I will be competeing in the 2007 UCI world cups I would like to ride the World Championships at Fort William.I would be willing to lend a hand regarding the management of the team as this is something I have experience of (Les Gets and Livigno and World Cups).Could someone please post the selection criteria.

grantham Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You already have a UCI / British Cycling licence Stan - just renew it when the form comes (expires 19/12/06)hey barbara/stanWhen i got mine last year I was told that I needed the silver license to compete, but as well as getting this you also need to buy the race licence.So last year I had to buy a silver membership and the race licence to be able to compete at the world cups, i'm guessing it will be the same this year?Anyone who wants a licence should just call up British cycling and say that you need a licence for riding the trials world cups/ world championships, the people there are really helpful.I'll be applying for a place although if its 10 places only i think places will be tight, should be doing all of the world cup again this year :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have now recovered from my wrist injury. I will be competeing in the 2007 UCI world cups I would like to ride the World Championships at Fort William.I would be willing to lend a hand regarding the management of the team as this is something I have experience of (Les Gets and Livigno and World Cups).Could someone please post the selection criteria.

BikeTrial Federation Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Letters were posted last night to all of last year's BIU licence holders (2nd class).This includes:-A - BIU licence renewal application formB - Fort William application form.The closing date for return of 'B' is 31st December - so as soon as it arrives, get it sent off to the address on there.BikeTrial UK will confirm the details on the Fort William application forms, then forward them to British Cycling for them to make the decisions. In the interests of data protection, form 'B' does not ask for your address. Once British Cycling have chosen the team they want for the Fort William event, then they will pass invitation letters to BikeTrial UK to be sent to the successful applicants.For anyone who did not hold a BIU Licence last year, the forms will be placed on the BikeTrial UK website in the next few days.Good luck everyone!PS. Don't forget to send off your BIU licence application as soon as possible - information and entry forms for 2007 events will only be sent to 2007 licence holders!PPS. See the BikeTrial UK website www.biketrialuk.co.uk for proposed dates and venues for the 2007 British BikeTrial Championship.

UCI Trial Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) Read Barbara's post John (on behalf of BTUK) - forms for all.For the record, I was surprised when I heard that the number of entries would be restricted, but I understand the thinking behind it. British Cycling, (B.C.), want to field a team worthy of the event. B.C. will pick the team from those that apply; forms will be available very soon. As they have little knowledge of the true skill and potential of many of our competitive Trials riders they have asked those with the necessary experience to help.As assumed the team will consist of only TEN competitors in total. The team will be expected to pay their own travel and accommodation expenses. Only those that can demonstrate the potential to reach the final in their class should apply. As said before, the Team will be picked on merit alone; it makes no difference if you have attended a World Cup, unless you have enjoyed some success there.To clear up some confusion;Junior's for 2007 - born in 89, 90, or 91.Ladies, no Semi final, just one event.I spent weekend in Fort William recently, discussing the potential for both man made and natural sections. The event is already taking shape; a new Four Cross track has been constructed. Those of you familiar with the venue will be pleased to hear that large areas of the rocky stream bed that were inaccessible have been opened up by the building of a new road. The man made section locations, and the materials that will be used to build them has already been decided.Fred Savage.
