its flying today !!!!!!!!!!!!!that good old rumor mill!,,as andy says we have to be patient but its hard not to get a bit caught up with it all. good luck to doug in what ever he does or does not do

I think that Doug back on a 2 stroke will be his re-birth. He can't seem to get to grips with the 4rt! I reckon that he'll be back on winning form a few months after the switch - if there is a switch! Do think it will be good for the competition in general to have Doug on a 2stroke and winning again. I think that the top 10 are closer now than they have been for years. I remember (but correct me if I'm wrong!) that during Doug's reign at Mont there weren't many times when he wasn't on top and the next riders down were widely spaced on marks as well.

What would be interesting would be to get him on his last 2stroke Mont - if that was updated with a few more years development, would he be able to win on it?

Awaiting confirmation of the rumour with baited breath!

Pete.

Todo trial are running with the rumour, but then again isn't it this time of year the Spanish have their fools day.

Damn Ish, I was about to post a link to Todotrial but you reminded me what a tw$t I made of myself last year.

Come on guy's do you seriously think Doug will be parting company with the mighty Mont ........ bet he stays with the big boys

1) they pay more than any other manufacturer

2) Doug sells bikes ..... number 1 or not !

Doubt it will happen but good luck to him if he does, on a more positive note It would no doubt give him some extra determination to win if he went back to the two banger

Its true all around the bvm test day today and its on the r2w web site heard he will be riding a special 300cc stroker anyway it will all come out in the wash

Don't think Money will have a great impact on Dougie's decission.

Throughout his career it has been about being the best and getting to the top of his sport which he has achieved.

Now he wants that 100th win and I am sure Doug will give himself the best possible chance at giving it one more shot in 2008.

If that is on a Beta or staying with the Montesa only Doug will know and who would bet against him achieving that in 2008.

Just my Two Pennath

What will he ride at sheffield?

Gizza read your Yorkshire war cry, bugger can peel an orange in his pocket

What will he ride at sheffield?

Whatever he's contracted to ride.

Seems most contracts run through to 31st Dec. So everyone's out on their 07 bikes before changing seats for 08.

The old Jan date meant that folks turned out on their new rides.

So what about the first round of the indoor WTC on 22nd December 2007 in Ekaterinburg? Sort of complicates things contractually.

I knew them old Eurotek shirts would come back in fashion, would you like to buy one CK

its mentioned on the front of tommorows tmx

I don't think Doug is calling the shots here.............but I'm sure he will merit a top 5 slot whatever 2 stroke he rides............! and thats where its at.............

Some news at last.................or last to get the news............
