mattylad Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Sounds like the loss of a good development rider so it looks like Fajardo will have to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borus Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ossa has a lot of talent and expertise on staff such as Dani Oliveras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 This is what was received: Nigel asked me to clarify the information regarding Marc Colomer. We have contacted the factory and they confirm that Marc has left their employment with the factory. We believe this to be for personal reasons. He is now working with Salva Garcia promoting Ossa in Spain The recruitment process is well underway for his replacement. The criteria is targeting a successor who has had involvement in the world championship, has experience of riding at the highest level and so has credibility thoughout the business Shame Birkett's didn't speak to the factory on Friday BEFORE phoning me bashing me for this topic...

I wondered why your earlier posting, stating that you were asked to clarify this as an untruth, suddenly disappeared from the thread.

toofasttim Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Seems like the factory aren't the best of communicators. Birks should have held his horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borus Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 This thread has absolutely no upside and has obviously hit on a sensitive issue. This is wide open for negative speculation. Should have been deleted imo and why a non-forum member would have their name mentioned here in a negative light, omg????. Private conversations should remain private. Wait till the factory officially communicates. My guess is Ossa Factory will communicate when appropriate any changes to principle people on the team. ( I do remember the factory communicating on a number of topics in the past only to get bashed anyway. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't) It's very easy to get on a forum when you haven't a nickle invested and stir the pot. How about you all give them hand for a great debut in the X-trial Championships, sure made for interesting viewing, and look forward to a very competitive WTC. Stay positive.
