Default Mena
Mena was GG junior rider back in 2006. We took care of him at the world rounds in New York and Canada. Back then he was a "very determined" rider as his manager would say. Sadly I had to hang with him at the hospital in Canada for about 10 hours waiting on x=rays from a shoulder injury. He wanted to ride the next day! After that Husaberg had bigger pocket books but if this is true, i'm happy for him and for GG.

Default Oriol Mena left GasGas for Beta
No official press release yet from GasGas but well-informed Enduro21 published pics of Oriol Mena with a Beta recently.

It seems that GasGas' strategy of being the school of champions is not compatible with more experienced riders who are eager to monetize their skills.

If you pay well, most will ride anything!

Surely GG and beta are pretty much the same category in terms of size so in theory should be able to pay the same price?

It' not about ability - it's about business model.
