ksv Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 On the Jotagas UK website it says something about a water seal going and cooking the engine, so he was unable to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_scorpa3 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 On the Jotagas UK website it says something about a water seal going and cooking the engine, so he was unable to continue. Steve Saunders said the same. It was very bad luck as Ross was well on the way to a decent finish for the JTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 could have happened to anyone. good showing first time out for a new bike a top rider rode it to the top of the leader board quite impressive.

totalshell Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 good to see that they got some bikes to the finish which proves reliability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_king Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Must say I was very impressed with the JTG bikes and how they rode. Admittedly the riders on them were very good but for a first attempt they should be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillary Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ben Wibberley's result must have been the best Greeves finish since Don Smith (or Bill Wilkinson). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespikeyone Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) yeah really pleased with the jtg performance. if it was a seal that went then fair enough. just thinking about my next bike which is a toss up between ossa and jtg but not sure how the jtg would fair if it didn't have the full factory promotion team there and I know there was a fair few ossas with gearbox problems this year. not interested in the greeves, looks like it was made in someone's shed Edited May 18, 2012 by thespikeyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minder Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Surely if you're looking for a new bike based on this years ssdt for performance and reliability then you should want a gasser. By far the most reliable and 4 riders in the top 5 can't be beaten. May want to wait till they've got rid of the formula stuff though!!!!

furse Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Or you could buy an 6 year old 4rt and finnish just outside the top 10 like Tom Sagar, Great ride Tom, unlucky not to be in the top 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
