More rumours of Monster Energy drink cash being poured into the sport are circulating like sharks round the USS Indianapolis (So, 1100 men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945).
Now, our crazy Dutch friends at racesport.nl and the stout chaps at racerGP.com are reporting that Ben Spies and the Yamaha World Superbike team, previously sponsored by Santander bank, will now be carrying the green claw.
The company has just signed a €2.5m Euro deal with Valentino Rossi and it said to be keeping on its association with John Hopkins, which might fund a customer Kawasaki team in MotoGP.
What credit crunch?
