Ok, call me picky but these guys are the biggies and really should do their homework better - or cut down on the sake.
Honda Motor Co Ltd have just released a Press Staement outlining their plans for world domination in 2004.
This on their activities in the Observed Trials arena where they frequently refer to Trials - as a race??
Trial
Races:
FIM 2004 World Championship for Trial
Seeking five consecutive victories, Honda will introduce three HRC Works Montesa COTA315Rs at the World Championship for Trial, where Honda Works team has claimed both the rider and manufacturer titles the last four years.
Champion “Repsol Montesa HRC” will be led by Dougie Lampkin (#1, UK), who has won the World Outdoor Championship seven consecutive years, Takahisa Fujinami (#2, Japan), who won six races last season and was engaged in a tremendous battle with Lampkin through to the final race, and Marc Freixa (#3, Spain), the third-ranked rider who won three races last season.
And did you know Honda field a Mountain Bike team ?
