Paul Peeraerts May 26, 2005:
Er klopt iets niet. Je kan verwachten "Derbi heeft een moeilijker jaar dan BMW" of "... dan Honda", maar "... dan 2005" is m.i. een foute structuur.
writeaway May 26, 2005:
what's the problem? is a very straightforward sentence. you know the context, we don't.

For Derbi, this year is a more difficult one than 2004

Without further context this could be an option. The lack of a comparison in the Dutch text casts doubts on the translation, however.
