June 28, 200620 yr I see former World Champion Marc Colomer has, as predicted by T & MX, joined Scorpa as a test and development rider.
June 28, 200620 yr very good news to the scorpa fans and excellent news for taddy, he should be able to improve his performance and develop the bike more . marc is only 31 and it seems as if he's been around for ages.
June 28, 200620 yr so i wonder who will be Fajardo's mentor now? I think he is going to have to stand on his own from now on, guess colomer was all part of the "costs reduction" at Gas Gas.
June 28, 200620 yr I think he is going to have to stand on his own from now on, guess colomer was all part of the "costs reduction" at Gas Gas. Maybe now he will stick by the rules of minders instead of having an extra minder wearing a Press bib as was seen on more than one occasion last year.
June 28, 200620 yr the factories are maybe seeing the benefits that Honda/Montesa have gained by having a recent top line rider kin Amos heading up their development. Hope it works out for Marc, he seemed a different character in Fort William this year not the grumpy aloof tirder he appeared at the top of his career but funnily enough he seemed to be enjoying it, hope it works out
June 29, 200620 yr With all respect to Marc's ability as a trials rider, I'm not sure if he is a good man for the job or not ? are they just wanting a name. I would of thought a development rider would have prior knowledge or riding and tuning of fourstrokes. Then again! the development of the bike is done, it's more tuneing and problem solving.
June 29, 200620 yr Author I thought Colomer played a part in the development of the Cota 315 and a prior to that a Beta, not sure which model. Very talented rider.............. Rumour has it that in 1997 at a World Round he actually smiled.... however the condition did not last long and no permanent damage was done....
July 3, 200620 yr I think Marc is a very shy person. I spoke to him at length in Luxembourg a couple of years ago. Very interesting guy with a lot of experience and I think technically one of the best riders ever.
July 3, 200620 yr smiled and spoke to me in scotland Spoke to me as well(didn't smile though).He said ''Get out of my way!''
