Not at all surprising, will there be something similar in US? That is the question.

What they " should " do is mix it up a bit. There is a lot of potential here if they actually thought about it. Green claw on a blue bike just doesn't look good. This combo could work well I think.

They could do wonders with this....




And something like this...

How come 5 hour energy never got in the game? They have to be making loads of money.

I guess if you want to win a title that badly you wait until the last minute to sign the points leader..

Sounds a lot like the same strategy for the triple crown winner.. sign the horse after he wins the first 2 races... Gross.

as long as kawasaki is sponsored by monster i don't think it will happen. then again, nobody seems to know what's going to happen with kawasaki this year. kawasaki has a title contender in tomac. who has yamaha? barcia and possibly reed who are already sponsored by monster.

I thought the same thing, seems a perfect fit to sponsor a team. Way better tasting than any of the other crap on the market and way healthier as well. Won't blow out your colon or rip up your guts and slamming a tiny shot is way better than having to drink 24 oz for less benefit.

They wanted that this year with Villopoto (monster) now that they finally see potential in both riders and bike they are on the train! awesome I think!

Agreed. 5 Hour Energy is the only one I will drink.

Speaking of Monster Energy...

Back in 1997-ish, I was trying to put a CART Indycar team together. My wife and I were looking at various companies to approach for sponsorship, and this was when there was only Red Bull in the 'energy drink' biz.

So my wife is searching the internet for ideas, and she comes across 'Hansen Energy Drinks'

I say 'never heard of them! They probably don't have the $$'

Guess what, Hansen became Monster!

Ha! Monster just sliiiiides right in to sponsor the points leader in the GPs for the last race of the season. Same brilliant minds that thought "hey, lets throw logos on the suit of the owner of that horse at the triple crown!" Laughable.

I've heard that we'll see Monster become involved with Star Racing Yamaha here in the US... Also, they'll be switching to Thor gear next year and PC will no longer be in it...

I have a feeling this place will melt down when the press releases hit in October.
