May 5, 201511 yr Yes I see that, Ross Danby and Becky Cook are still riding theirs as well. IF Jotagas are using Jack to promote the brand and work with Pasquet instead of going to Japan this may actually be a better option in terms of sales generated vs £s spent ?
May 5, 201511 yr Despite no longer being the importer, Steve S is in Fort Will to support the JTG riders. Fair play.

Sales with no importer and no bikes for sale? Fair play to Jack Ross and Becky for sticking with them
May 6, 201511 yr Jack is factory supported, whereas I understand Ross and Becky ride for SXS. If Steve gets a new brand of bike then they will surely change as well.
May 6, 201511 yr Author Jack is factory supported, whereas I understand Ross and Becky ride for SXS. If Steve gets a new brand of bike then they will surely change as well. John - Exactly right Yes I see that, Ross Danby and Becky Cook are still riding theirs as well. IF Jotagas are using Jack to promote the brand and work with Pasquet instead of going to Japan this may actually be a better option in terms of sales generated vs £s spent ? This would be logical and correct if it were this simple , but its not. Unless the factory step up production there is no point in the promotion.
May 6, 201511 yr Jack is factory supported, If thats the case why did he not go to japan? Edited May 6, 201511 yr by nigel dabster
May 6, 201511 yr Economics and as James says they are limited in the amount of Bikes they can produce. Best to keep Jack riding in their major market, Spain, and also run in the SSDT as many Spanish riders follow it.
May 6, 201511 yr If thats the case why did he not go to japan? Just because you get factory support does nt mean you ride every World round.
May 7, 201511 yr Just because you get factory support does nt mean you ride every World round. If he has factory support he should be at every round.
May 7, 201511 yr Economics and as James says they are limited in the amount of Bikes they can produce. Best to keep Jack riding in their major market, Spain, and also run in the SSDT as many Spanish riders follow it. So why no show at BTC?
May 7, 201511 yr If he has factory support he should be at every round. Why? Why does a small factory have to send a rider, a back up team and a couple of bikes to Japan?
May 7, 201511 yr Back up team who has that in japan apart from top 4? If Jack is jtg Factory no 1 he should be there, surely, even if its a bike and a minder. A small factory needs to grow bu getting the bike out there, at every round. If JTG are serious about continuing they need to sell bikes. Other JTG riders were there in Japan.
May 8, 201511 yr I think Jotagas would be right not to send Jack to Japan if that's the decision they took. The trials market is no longer big enough to support a truly world championship in my view. Get a bike right, as in reliable and does what your average punter requires and I think it will sell. Ploughing thousands into a wtc campaign then releasing a poor quality product doesn't necessarily work as some have proved. i'm talking in general terms here rather than about Jotagas in particular.

Maybe this is the type of reasoning/spending that sunk GG?
May 9, 201511 yr Possibly someone is paying for Raga AND team to be in japan a week, and truck in Scotland
