Building on Monster Energy’s title sponsorship of the Yamaha Motocross Teams, the two companies have further built on their ongoing 2010 relationship with Yamaha within the World Superbike paddock through the appointment of Monster Energy as the ‘Official Energy Drink Supplier’ of the Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Team. Both Yamaha Sterilgarda riders James Toseland and Cal Crutchlow carry personal Monster Energy sponsorship and the brand also enjoys title sponsorship of the Monster Yamaha Tech3 MotoGP Team. Monster Energy and The Yamaha Sterilgarda Team have been working together for some time during the 2010 season, as a result of this official agreement there will be further visibility of the Monster Energy brand outside of the Yamaha Sterilgarda hospitality and on official team partner listings.
