I do not see how Red Bull would sell more by sponsoring more teams or riders. As of now I think they over sponsor as it is. Same with ME. The teams need to expand their horizons and bring in sponsors that can benefit from being in the sport. How about talking to companies like: Camping world, Mercedes Vans, Thor Motor Coach, Under Armor, Stance, KOA camp grounds, Pilot gas stations, and any others that people in the sport would use in their travels or their life. I am sure there are tons of others but the juice as to be worth the squeeze as they say.

I'd really love to see Under Armour make some MX gear. I bet it would be awesome, but probably pretty pricey.

What does that mean? Because they sponsor 4 f1 cars they should sponsor more in motocross?

So with Matty B testing a star racing yamaha for next year. And JS7 just dropping off the planet the last 3 rounds. Is it safe to assume there will be no Yosh in 2017 ?

How does RCH/Red Bull/Suzuki sound next year ?

Yes the money they put in F1 is big money I am sure, but they get much bigger returns than all of moto could ever give. I do not see how sponsoring 4 cars does much more than sponsoring 2 cars though. I think there is a tipping point where it is no longer special enough to grab the attention of the public.

Don't get me wrong Red Bull is a great sponsor. I am just saying it is time to look outside the sport but the sport has a problem. The sport does not like to change much. Here is a quote that sums it up.

While I agree you do have to remember once you do the R&D, testing, bla bla bla of one or two cars, the 3rd and 4th cars become drastically "cheaper" although nothing about F1 is cheap.


On a side note it baffles me that Nike, Under Armor, Adidas, etc have not tried to get into MX. We are a very fashion based sport that has a user base who is used to spending money on things.

They already have tons of production, materials, and development knowledge...seems like they would start small like EVS and then work their way to full gear.

RedBull owns 4 F1 cars. So I guess they technically sponsor their own teams.

Not sure why they bought 2 teams, maybe it had to do with the economic collapse and they picked them up cheap or because one of their owners Dietrich Mateshiz loves racing and Motorsports so much he wanted 4 cars to help them develop drivers.

Nike did, don't you remember the Nike 6.0 Boots that Dungey and Stew wore for a couple years.
I don't think they saw it as a perfect business venture because you aren't seeing the riders wearing Nike shoes on the podium, Maybe a Nike hat or something but that was about it. I'm pretty sure Hurley sponsored Ivan Todesco one year too when he did the first stint with Vali Yamaha in SX for a couple races.

Problem was, no one could buy those boots. Judging by the response on here when they came out Nike would have sold a ton of them

Nike just pulled the plug on Nike golf apparel a few weeks ago because it wasn't making the percentage of profits forecasted this fiscal year. They did the same with 6.0, they killed it and focused on SB while they let Hurley pick up the rest of that demographic.

Nike only planned to make a few sets of those boots and they actually hired the lead designer at Fox (at the time) to run a division in which those boots were made. Personally I think they could do well in moto, so much of the NFL gear they make (Nike Pro) would cross over with very little work.

While UA is gaining a tiny bit of the market they are still a pimple on the ass of Nike and will never be a threat. Nike had the boots, collaborated with JS and TLD on the first SEVEN gear so if they were ever to get in the market they would have a long time ago. But compared to the other sports moto is a tiny sport with not many normal joes doing it compared to skate, basketball, tennis, football, running, etc...

If Nike made gear I would be wearing it head to toe for moto.....shit, all my clothes now are all Nike for the most part.

Agreed. I've always thought Under Armour would transition some of there breathable athletic materials into Moto jerseys and pants with out effort. I wish Nike was still interested in Moto as well. How sick would Nike gear, boots, and and Air Max helmet be?

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on a "placeholder" team in 2017 and then a big-name rider on a team with a big sponsor in 2018. But that's just my opinion.
