Sponsorship and riders choice.

Post by Sadlonelygit »

Listening to moto3 and it's 'mt helmets this and mt helmets that' bikes.
Pretty sure I saw the rider wearing a well stickered up Arai.
I remember back in the day several riders advertising one brand of brake pad and use another.
However if you don't actually endorse your main sponsor.....can't imagine MM having a monster drink in parc ferme (unless of course MT don't make race spec helmets)

Not the best endorsment for MT Helmets,I would have covered up the Arai logo
I've heard of riders wearing better quality gear & using their sponsors logos & on one occasion,when Norman Brown got killed at Silverstone his helmet came off,Arai were upset because he had a Arai sticker on his non Arai helmet.
