wetfeet Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) if he does not sign for hrc and signs for beta will he ride a 4 or 2 stroke??? Edited November 15, 2007 by wetfeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovis Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 cool welcome back dougie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 As the topic states, Dougie Rumours and thats what they are, rumours. Makes an interesting topic but we can speculate all day long until an official statement is made. For what it worth I strongly believe that he will remain with Montesa HRC for another year. Lets not forget that Beta have Fajardo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Lets not forget that Beta have Fajardo. With all due respect, Dougie would do much more for Beta than Fajardo could. I can't see that getting in the way if these rumors have any foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinell Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 As the topic states, Dougie Rumours and thats what they are, rumours. Dom, will the Mont bling fit a Beta or will you have to flog it all on eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedronicman Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 According to a well known off road rag out today - HRC Montesa has issued an official statement saying that they are not renewing Doug's conract for 2008. For all you die hard mont fanatics our there don't worry too much , i'm sure you will get over it! ANYWAY it doesn't matter what bike Doug ends up riding- at least he still will be riding- like he deserves to , that's the main thing!

ishy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Todo trial are running with the rumour, but then again isn't it this time of year the Spanish have their fools day. I think it will be good for Beta sales if true, and that is what the sponsored rider is supposed to do, sell bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomant Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I think many people would like to see Doug ride a Beta again- I know I have seen it written in these forums a few times. I hope it's true! There was too much stuff written about him retiring but I would love to see him keep going. Hes still one of the top 5 riders in the world after all.
