I merely wondered - I couldn't care less, personally, who is associated with motorbike sport. The more the merrier I say - who would be backing Sergio and Maverick if she wasn't involved? If sponsors weren't available it would be the sport and spectators that suffered. Martyn

I'd have thought that Muppet would have been better off as a football wag, it's totally accepted for them to know nothing about the sport and talk cobblers.
Will be a shame if the blonde-haired bint gets all the TV coverage as the 125cc class has produced some of the best racing of recent years.
Thing is - most of the TV coverage is Spanish or Italian-based and they have plenty of better-looking totty on the grid to focus on so hopefully Airhead Hilton won't get a look in.

personally love MOTOGP, cant wait for it to start again and see how rossi does on the ducati, not really bothered who sponsers riders and teams as long as they get the cash injection to be able to compete, didnt we have durex sponsering a team a few years back and playboy, MOTOGP rocks!
Who cares so long as she pumps some money into the sport? The vacuous tart may even be able to gee up the lads the night before the big race ala "a night in Paris" sort of thing! Course they'd have to keep their helmets and dark visors on wouldn't want their vision impaired for the big day!

"If sponsors weren't available it would be the sport and spectators that suffered."
Why?
Cause in my experiance.....actually I can honestly say without exception that I enjoy spectating 'low budget' sports (local trials, Wiscombe, sutton barton MC, the local lads footie team etc etc) but have never and can't abide big budget sport......'football', Fomula one, Moto GP etc etc.......
It's something you do cause you enjoy - not as a career, and the sums of money involved are obcene and wrong.....just wrong.......I want my kids to aspire to be like Brunel, Churchill, General Mike Jackson, Cristiaan Barnard or somone of use and value - not that **** Beckham what use is he to anyone and why does he deserve to live the lifestyle he does?
I'll tell you story one day about a really great little motorsport club full of great folks (much like the trf lads as it happens) who were doing something they were passonate about and enjoyed a great deal.....the along came a man from an insurance firm with a huge bag of money and asked "lads can I sponser your events?"..........
It lasted about 3 months after that then the "lads" got edged out by the big money boys who were doing it as a 'buisness' not for fun, it all collapsed.....
So both the competitors and spectators (who used to watch for free) all lost out then
Quite the opposite of what you state - but hay If your happy to pay for your subsription TV, or pay £100 a time for a ticket to watch them carry on......Me I'll go and pay £10 and watch the lads at Wiscombe or Sutton barton who are doing it for the 'right' reasons
