For the moment we took a fact supporting small as FB because we do not want the longer wheelbase of the leg. This 2010 will be a transition year, running for this new category which we do not know many things. Despite the caution we believe we have done a great trellis frame, able not to mourn those who have donated so much in the '80s and '90s made famous around the world our brand. "
