jonny beta Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Just read that Frexia is once again going back to the scorpa and Taddy is on his way to the beta top trial team. A big turn up i think. Edited January 11, 2007 by jonny beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny beta Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I found it on the todotrial site. forgot to put awee note on my post to say that. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Can't understand why Scorpa would want Friexa back, especially as they parted company last season after only a few rounds. Evidently he is a bit of a prima donna and argubly past his sell by date. I wonder if he will be riding the 4 stroke?

neils on wheels Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The Scorpa press release on todotrial says Frexia will be riding the 4 stroke. It also rather amusingly says "250 SY F counts on front bracket and cushioning Paioli buttock, system of escape centralized underneath the mudguard " mind you, my Spanish is not that hot!

Andy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Got the Scorpa Press Release. A French company, backed by the Japanese who send their press releases out in Spanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 What's wrong wi thi!! can't your translate Frapanish, just Googlefish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 What's wrong wi thi!! can't your translate Frapanish, just Googlefish it. Why should I have to? English is the most widely spoken language on the planet. If they can't be bothered with providing press info in English I certainly don't have time to use online tools to translate and then to fix the pigeon English output - it reads like one of Octagon's English press releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as iow Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I thought China had the biggest population and therefore was the most widely spoken language in the world so manybe all their press releases should be in chiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I thought China had the biggest population and therefore was the most widely spoken language in the world so manybe all their press releases should be in chiness.

atomant Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Mandarin is the most spoken language - English is second Ref - Ref 2 Hindi isn't far behind! Won't be long till English is third Edit - looking at a variety of sites on this and there is conflicting info all over the place, but the common winner is always Mandarin Chinese.

nigel dabster Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 As most of the population is behind communist lines making all our consumer itms and more besides I doubt in the free world chinese is the most spoken, not by a long way. regardless English is the most universal language (luckily for us) without question and as Andy says the press releases should be in English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Fair enough, produce Trials press releases in Spanish as it's a good market for Trials, but by not also providing the same information in English they are alienating not only the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand but many, many other countries where they have a very good grasp of English (far more so than they have a grasp of Chinese - Mandarin or Cantonese...)

cota kid Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 China is not communist its a single party socialist republic. Every good worker knows that, Comrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Come the revolution you are in my little black book. In fact all 4rt lovers are aswell so you won't be alone. So if for a friend, I translate a press release from English to Spanish its just the same kind of Josep appletree that we get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
