I got this photo and email from TTC’s Dan Brown this morning:

Griff, here’s a photo of a section up by Lampkin Falls, freshly taped, and with helper Sam Stutz in the middle. The sections are being finalized now and we’re in the final stages of preparation for the Wagner Cup!

12 of the 15 sections will be very close by the paddock, but 3 are up atop the mountain for the hardy hikers.

I’ll be arriving at the TTC late Wed. night this week for this weekend’s Trials Training Days 2008, and staying thru next Tues. morning. So I’ll be posting many more Wagner Cup 2008 section preview photos Real Soon Now.

The FIM Trial Online web site has the final standings of the 2008 World Indoor Trials posted (PDF) after this past weekend’s event in Madrid. Toni Bou (Montesa) is indoor champ once again, with Adam Raga (Gas Gas) 2nd and Albert Cabestany (Sherco) 3rd.

The FIM site has photos from all the indoor events; and here’s a YouTube video of Toni Bou at the 2007 Barcelona indoor:
