MotoGP: Valentino Rossi continues his collaboration with Bridgestone

Valentino Rossi, nine-time world champion in the MotoGP class, continues his consultancy collaboration with Bridgestone Europe for the development of road tyres. As in the previous agreement, the Pesaro and Bridgestone will work together to promote the passion for motorcycling to end users and enthusiasts across Europe.  The collaboration concerns Rossi as a professional rider, while his MotoGP team and other sponsors are not involved in the initiative.

“I have worked with Bridgestone in MotoGP for many years and have always been impressed by their professionalism and the quality of their products – said Valentino Rossi – Continuing this agreement gives me an interesting opportunity to contribute to new Bridgestone road motorcycle tyres.”

“Valentino Rossi is a great ambassador for our company – he added Franco Annunziato, CEO and President of Bridgestone Europe – With the extension of our agreement, we have secured the advice and recommendations of one of the greatest motorcycle racers of all time, thus guaranteeing improvements to the new Battlax tires that are on the market.”
