February 13, 200620 yr Has anyone noticed that in the indoor championships Gas Gas have Repsol sponsored tabbards duct taped over the Repsol slogan. I appreaciate that Gas gas may be sponsored by another oil company ? but surely the event may not exist without sponsorship. Seems like a slap in the face by Gas Gas!
February 13, 200620 yr ye i noticed that at the uk indoor round. dont know why that is but would like to find out. if it wasnt for repsol sponsoring the indoor events gasgas,montesa ect wouldnt be in the comps
February 13, 200620 yr I personaly would keep it on, apart from Repsol being the biggest sponser ( hence the name) they look so daft with a piece of duck tape on there riding gear
February 13, 200620 yr Surely putting a piece of shiny silver duct tape over the sponsor's name only hightens the interest and urges the viewer to find out what they're trying to cover up.
February 14, 200620 yr This is the rule 057.7.4 Riders' bibs Each rider must wear a bib carrying his riding number or his name. The bib number will be permanent for all the events counting for the Indoor Trial World Championship and will correspond to the rider's final position in the "Outdoor" Individual Trial World Championship. The bib may carry the name of an event sponsor. The conditions regarding the wearing of bibs and the name of any sponsor whose name or logo appears on the bib must be clearly stated in the SR. Any rider who can prove a conflict of interest between his own and the event sponsor must inform the organiser prior to confirming his entry. The organiser may offer a bib of an alternative event sponsor or authorise the rider to cover the name of the sponsor. The final decision rests with the organiser. The removing or exchanging of the bib during an event is forbidden under penalty of disqualification.
