The big show!
The EICMA http://www.eicmausa.com/ Milan motorcycle expo starts November 17th for industry people and then the general public the 19th...thus they are really trying to push for a finalized agreement before the whole industry goes to Italy.
What better way to reboot then to have things agreed upon and have a small display at the worlds largest motorcycle expo. I have been there and can tell you, our industry shows in the US don't hold a candle to that show! Its AMAZING!

It sure doesnt translate well. That we can state as fact!
GIRONA | ACN / DDG template Gas Gas commitment to the takeover bid submitted by the manufacturer of electric motorcycles Torrotes. Through his lawyer, workers now enter a written Companies will know where your preference. Also ask the judge via self, who will solve the production unit Gas Gas before 17 November. The aim, explain sources of workers, is to avoid "further expand" the current manufacturer's trial bikes and enduro Salt.
Of the three purchase offers that were presented before the Court, is the highest of Torrotes economically . Provides 9.66 MEUR and it plans to invest more than 13 to advance a feasibility plan. Torrotes keep 55 workers eighty today. "It clarifies the future supply stability Gas Gas Industry and consequently also their employees," indicated from the council. And they add: "And not only with regard to workforce investment project, but also for being a Catalan company and the vision and commitment of Torrotes."
A bid Torrotes quantitatively, the fund continues WRI investment. Proposes to acquire productive unit Gas Gas by 7.02 million and subrogation 60 workers. The staff, however, welcome the voice that has always maintained that precisely those funds are those who have led to the current situation.
The third offer presented by the French Sherco is the offering the lowest (2.65 million) and plans to take on 47 workers.
Although the council requires the court quickly, the deadline for a decision Mercantil is still open. The judge can give option to the three companies that submitted an offer once the stems open, what reformulate their offerings. It also remains to be seen what the report says before insolvency administrator make decisions about buying Gas Gas.

Either the workers or the workers union. Tarrot is the electric bicycle company right?
It'd be sweet if they revived the electric trials bike from a few years back which seems to have been forgotten. Maybe that and an electric Cami....
Aside from that, lose a couple more lbs and get the airbox/bodywork/seat to be less fiddly and GG would be back in the running. Maybe the 2014/15's have this figured out already idk...

The 2012-2013 airbox debacle will haunt this brand forever it seems and that is a shame considering another brand suffered thru 3 years of gas caps leaking, but yet...it's forgiven and forgotten by the public.
For the record...2014 and 15 seat / airbox is about as simple stupid as any other brand on the market today.

At this point...the workers don't care who the new owner is, they just want their jobs back and a paycheck each week. It will be interesting to see if the other 2 bidders "sweeten the pie" while they still have the chance.

Pretty sure Gas Gas had a good couple years of leaking fuel caps as well. 10/11 couldn't stop the rubber seal from shrinking up and allowing fuel to slosh out everywhere. More than one bloke managed to have the nipple where the hose attaches snap off as well, not to mention the plug on the bottom would drop off letting the ball bearing/check valve and plug to all jiggle around at the bottom of the tank.
I like the way the GG filters overlap the frame and push into the airboot. It makes it very hard to achieve a poor sealing surface, even if the filter moves a bit on the frame during install. BUT! IMO the newer 13-15 airbox is too small volume wise - and that is with a bike with no battery. Jam that in there too and you run out of space quickly. They don't seal up very well, let a load of crud into the airbox (both dust, mud and water) and the duckbill at the bottom chokes up as soon as you get a pebble in it; even after modification.
Sure other brands have their issues too, so we can point the finger for days!
Back on topic, I cant understand the Spanish translation either. Looks like the tenders have been made public, and they are speculating to some preference (whoever they are). Either way it's promising news.

I foresee some pretty cool E-bikes with GG logos in the very near future

Looks like Torrot makes some cool electric motos, just not bicycles. This could be a very good new owner of Gas Gas, if it happens.
