MotoGP’s Bradley Smith Welcomes Bridgestone & Rudy Project as New Sponsors

MotoGP rider Bradley Smith have announced new sponsors for the new season.

Bridgestone UK and Rudy Project sunglasses will support Bradley for the first time this season while Optimum Procurement has signed a new two year personal sponsorship deal. 

Bridgestone’s north region communications manager Andy Dingley  said: “We are thrilled to have Bradley on board with us, who will play a critical role in our various aims and objectives for the rest of the year.

“With a number of new bike products already planned for the near future to supplement our existing range of critically acclaimed bike tyres, these are exciting times for Bridgestone.

“Having one of the brightest and most talented racers in MotoGP with us to help us communicate such announcements  will be a huge boost for us, as we aim to reach out to even wider audiences and raise our presence accordingly.

“Having worked with Bradley in the past, we know how professional and knowledgeable he is about his profession, not to mention the motorcycle industry as a whole.

“He will be a valuable asset for us and we can’t wait to get to work, during what will be another gripping MotoGP season.”

Cristiano Barbazza, chairman of Rudy Project, confirms: “We’re very excited to have Bradley Smith as a Rudy Project ambassador. We have great confidence in him; it’ll be a thrill to see him race this year.

“It gives us even greater pleasure that Bradley, a huge fan of motocross and cycling, wears our products even in his training sessions away from the racetracks.”

The complete package from the sponsors and the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team have given Bradley, who was tenth in his rookie MotoGP season, a fantastic chance to obtain a new MotoGP contract next season by providing such a stable platform allowing him to concentrate solely on his riding.

“I can’t thank sponsors old and new enough for their amazing support which makes me even more determined to have a great season.” explained the three times grand prix winner before flying off to Doha.
