I think monster tastes better anywaysTitle: Re: so about that monster sponsorship.... Post by: tufty on January 29, 2009, 12:37:53 PM Rossi already has so many high level sponsors. I can't help thinking that maybe he should have turned this one down and allowed the wealth to be spread around a little.
Eventually it could be just Valentino running a Moto GP of one Title: Re: so about that monster sponsorship....

I can't help thinking that maybe he should have turned this one down and allowed the wealth to be spread around a little. that's the wrong end of the telescope. if you're monster, who's at the top of your list for people you want to sponsor? not 'giving' rossi that money would only be a step down in terms of smart investment for them. whatever they give him, they'll get back 5-or-10-fold. they wouldn't give it to him otherwise.

I agree completely which is why I said he should have turned it down. Monster obviously want a presence in MotoGP racing, and the rest of the paddock is screaming for major sponsors except Rossi.

i know it's an exaggerated take on what you're saying, but regardless of his level of success, he earned it. Title: Re: so about that monster sponsorship....

[roll] yes it is But maybe he shouldn't be allowed to use qualifiers. It makes for a much better race when he starts on the 3rd or 4th row. ;) |
