This coming May 14th the MotoGP World Championship returns to Shanghai for only the second ever Grand Prix at the Chinese circuit. Italian company Polini Motori have secured the naming rights to the race, as they continue their long association with MotoGP. Polini Motori is a world leader in the manufacturing of cylinders and special parts for scooters, 2 and 4-stroke engines, minibikes and minicross bikes. The company already has an extensive history of collaboration in MotoGP. Not only have Polini been title sponsors for Grands Prix in the past, it also formed part of the set-up that bought Loris Capirossi two 125cc titles, and three titles for Valentino Rossi (125cc, 500cc and MotoGP). Currently Polini is a partner with the Fortuna Honda Team of Marco Melandri and Toni Elias in MotoGP. The fourth round of this season’s MotoGP World Championship will therefore be known as the Polini Grand Prix of China, and Polini will enjoy all the benefits of being the title sponsor for the event.
