More, from a press release issued by GBRacing: Maria Costello, MBE, wears Gimoto leathers in 2013 GBRacing, the UK importer for Gimoto Leathers, is getting behind Road Race legend Maria Costello in 2013. The deal came about through GBRacing, which already supports her with its market leading motorcycle protection products. GBRacing Managing Director Graham Banks said: “It was such an easy decision to take on the Gimoto brand. They have over 100 years of experience in making suits and are one of the most qualified brands that produce made-to-measure leather. We are very excited about Maria wearing them this season as she is arguably the most famous female rider in motorcycling and we know she’ll be a great ambassador for the brand.” Established in 1890 by the Mazzola family, who still own the brand, Gilberto Mazzola set about a gradual conversion of his glove factory into one of the top national producers of leather race suits and motorcycle clothing. Today the company lies in the hands of Andrea and Danielle Mazzola who aim to continue the growth of the company whilst respecting its traditions. They are also responsible for the strong client-orientated philosophy that supports the execution of the company’s mission to create race suits and made-to-measure motorcycle clothing and gloves, which can be personalised according to the customer’s requirements, with an element of distinction. Maria added: “I was invited to the Gimoto factory in the Lombardy region of Italy, where many of the leathers companies are based, to see the race suits being made first hand. It was a great opportunity to see every stage of the process. I’m so excited to be wearing Gimoto not just because of the quality and fit but because they are interested in producing some new ranges for women and in particular for my ‘woman on a motorcycle’ group.” To find out where Maria will be competing in her Gimoto race suit go to www.costelloracing.com www.facebook.com/pages/Maria-Costello-Racing/43701311579?fref=ts and @MariaCostello on Twitter For more information on Gimoto contact GBRacing http://www.gbracing.eu/ More, from another press release issued by Speed and Strength: “XR1200 CHAMPION MICHAEL BARNES RIDES WITH SPEED AND STRENGTH” Hank Desjardins, Vice President of Marketing for Tucker Rocky Distributing, Fort Worth, Texas, is pleased to announce the endorsement of Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona/Richie Morris Racing, rider and current World Champion Michael Barnes. “The addition of Michael to our team definitely adds fuel to Speed and Strength’s racing efforts for 2013,” said Desjardins. “We’re excited to help defend his championship and look forward to building a relationship together.” “With the recent announcement of Speed and Strength’s return to American road racing, I’m happy to welcome Michael to the Speed and Strength team,” said Bruce Parker, President of Parker Synergies. “With the addition of Michael, as well as our partnership with Rossmeyer’s and Richie Morris Racing, we’re continuing to build our reputation as a high performance brand.” Look for Michael to kick off his 2013 championship defense on board his Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Racing XR1200 as a member of the Triple Crown/RMR team on Friday March 15th.
