MotoGP News

As reported by over a dozen Europen sites, bombshell Paris Hilton is scheduled to present her 2011 MotoGP Team - SuperMartxe VIP by Paris Hilton - that will compete in the 2011 FIM Motorcycling Championship 2011 in the 125cc class.

The announcement is scheduled for Dec. 18, 2010 at the ME Hotel in Madrid Spain, which will be the first press conference for the MotoGP Team. The chic hotel has been visited by other Hollywood stars including George Clooney and made the Conde' Nast Traveler Hotlist in 2007.

For the event Paris Hilton will be accompanied by Xavi Montero and Ricard Garriga. Also attending will be Ricard Jove, the technical director for the 125cc GP team. The teams two motorcycle racers are stated to be Sergio Gadea and the young Maverick Vinales, the 2010 Spanish and European 125cc GP Champions.

The Supermartxe VIP Bikes Team by Paris Hilton has the ambition of becoming the World Champions in the MotoGP 125cc displacement class before the new Moto3 single-cylinder four-stroke 250cc rules take effect in 2012.

The 125cc racing team is joined the technical mastery of Christian Lundberg and Rossano Brazzi, who combined with the talented motorcycle riders should make for a highly competitive team.

The entire motorcycle racing world and MotoGP might find an even larger spotlight due to the main stream notoriety.

If Paris actual shows for a motorcycle race or two (I can't image her dog trackside) and brings all the paparazzi, things could get interesting for other main stream advertisers.

Right now, the people who enjoy MotoGP are ones who enjoy the sport for what it is. It would pain me for the stands to be filled with half-hearted wannabes who attend because it's somehow chic to do so. I think NASCAR has degraded over the last decade or so and it's evolved into something like professional wrestling. Please leave roadracing alone!

I've been continually revisiting the thought of Paris Hilton owning a 125cc MotoGP team...it's disturbing, but also may create a boost to the sport.

I can't wait to see how this pans out, especially when the Hilton queen appears at a race...

Upping the crumpet ante.
