cota kid Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) The FIM Website lists the riders for the 2008 season with a couple of interesting points. Dougie is noted as riding for the Beta factory, no real surprises there, but Shaun Morris is down for Scorpa. Have I missed something, but there has been no official announcement for either rider. However the fact that it appears on the FIM website would surely indicate that this is not rumour.

Andy Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Andy your new's sources seem to have forgot to let you know!

Andy Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 As a further update, aforementioned news source has just advised the FIM information is "Based on rumour. Still no contract signed". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Ah I see, that is a bit odd to publish rumours on the official site though! But hey this is the world of trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neils on wheels Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 The FIM site has been displaying the "news" that Doug will ride Beta next year for a while. I guess they read it on Todo Trial like the rest of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not sure when you last checked the FIM website, but now the 2008 list shows Dougie on Montesa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) Not sure when you last checked the FIM website, but now the 2008 list shows Dougie on Montesa. And Shaun Morris on Gas Gas. Must have been corrected. I wonder who the CTR Press Manager is? Edited November 29, 2007 by Cota Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cota kid Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'll say one thing for Gas Gas their team is certainly varied. Young and not so young riders as well as plenty of girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cota kid Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 It does look like a good mix But then again is it truly representative of this countries diverse and multi cultural society? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
