“We also hope our early confirmation of these
two sponsorships, reassures other sponsors of
their value. They are an important part of our
marketing strategy and we hope the lead we’re
taking will help generate new sponsors as well
as retain others so we can make future events
bigger and better again.”
Both event organisers unanimously welcomed
the confirmation with open arms.
“To get this positive news in the current climate
is a real shot in the arm and helps us plan ahead
with confidence,” said Marsden. “With so much
uncertainty ahead of us we certainly applaud
Mike Pero’s initiative and thank him and his team
sincerely for re-committing to these events.”
“I expect to be riding my classic Yamaha 250GP
machine again, or whatever comes my way – I don’t
even mind riding the odd YZR500 that happens to
be there on the day,” Pero grins.
