Does Orbea have only one rep, or should this be "a rep" instead?

Since this is a thread about nit picking pronunciation, I thought I would add a different nit to pick. 😄

I'll let you decide for yourself and then you can argue about really stupid issues with yourself.

It's Or-BAY-ah. Told to me by a couple of Basque riders here in the States.

Do I have to roll the R?

That's pretty much the same as I interpreted janiejones first choice, of three (i.e. I agree).

Thanks Fish

You didn't by chance ask any French riders how to pronounce the French words "derailleur" or "chamois", did you? It's funny how we accept basterdizing certain pronunciations, but not others.
