scrappington Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 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!

beta_basher Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 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.

nigel dabster Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
