James Dabill, one of the top ten riders in the Trial World Championship and one of the best Britons in the history of the sport, unexpectedly announces his retirement as a professional rider at the age of 34.
JAMES DABILL: Dear fans and friends. The day has come to inform you of my retirement from the Trial World Championship and as a professional rider. It's been a tough decision to make, but I feel like it's the right time to retire and I'm smiling. Since I was young I have lived the dream of becoming a professional trial rider and all thanks to my parents for their great sacrifice. If I look back, after two decades competing in the World Championships, it fills me with pride to have achieved what I have and to have known and worked with great people. There are many people to mention and thank for all the support received. I hope to see you soon in the paddock, but now it's time to give you a fond farewell."
