April 24, 200620 yr Montesa lay-offs meant the blue collar job was gone Chose Scorpa instead of claiming the dole Jacked the 'stop gap' job when offered a postion at Beta
April 24, 200620 yr So now Freixa is going to do the Eddie Irvine/Rubens Barrichello to Bou? Do Scorpa's suck or do they just pay lousy?
April 25, 200620 yr Putting Freixa on a Scorpa and expecting him to podium would be the same as putting Dougie or Fugi on a Scorpa and expecting them to podium... It would never happen. He has to much talent and must be commended on have the balls to switch camp and get back in and mix it at the top end. Even if Beta are only giving him a cut lunch and a carton Freixa has done the right thing.
April 25, 200620 yr Freixa,i thought had the best stile on the 4rt,he is a brilliant young man with plenty of good results,still too come.all the best to him...He was far too good for a scorpa,good club bike,and thats, allllllllll.
April 25, 200620 yr Freixa is off to Beta, Wonder why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One ride on the new fourstroke was enough?
April 25, 200620 yr I heard he was causing problems at Scorpa - but I didn't hear that from anybody that is directly involved with them, so it may just be gossip!
April 25, 200620 yr Author Freixa is off to Beta, Wonder why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One ride on the new fourstroke was enough? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He didn't ride the 4t in Spain or Portugal so I don't think that can be an issue. However I am positive the 2t bike (Scorpa) had alot of go and Taddy has done as well as on his gasser so doubt if the performance is so much of a factor he must have tried it before singing anyway. My view is he is in a loose loose situation, if dabill beats him (probable) then his days will be numbered and he seriously can't challenge Bou so what is he gonna do. Scorpa wouldn't "let" him go. More to this than meets the eye HL is on the right lines I'm sure.
April 25, 200620 yr ... if saying the bike (Scorpa) isn't good enough for world sections caused troubles, then i think he may have been right. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> dont think so! taddy seems to be having better results, so far, on the scorpa than on the gassers. Also kuroyama seems to winning everything in japan at the mo on one. it says "agreement between both parties"....? also they are going to concentrate their time and effort on taddy. dont know wheather yamaha have had a say... obvious fall out over summit.
April 26, 200620 yr Its all gone a bit pear shaped for Scorpa. I always thought Friexa went to Scorpa to promote their 4T due to his experience on the 4RT. If he couldn't perform on the 2 stroke you couldn't expect him to set the world on fire on a 4 stroke. So Scorpa are left with Taddy and the Beta team or teams look strong across all classes.
April 26, 200620 yr Author Not too strong in the youth section where the Gas Gas and Sherco rule. (Did I mention 'boro getting beaten?)
