On the Pulp show on Monday they mentioned Astars was really going after Anderson so I was just wondering if anyone knew if that was true? Big Anderson fan so that's why I'm interested.
That being said they have Tickle on the payroll along with Barcia so not sure how much they have left over for a guy like Anderson. I'm sure he's worth more than Tickle.
Deano to shift, and roczen back to Fox.
Why is Alpinestars going after so many rider's? You usually see only a couple of rider's wearing their gear. Big marketing push for the consumer market?
So they'll have Tomac, Tickle, Anderson & Barcia? Anyone else?
Some of their stuff looks good but some of it is just hideous.

And thanks for clearing that up ML, any idea when they plan to announce any of these deals? Always cool to see riders in different gear brands IMO. And ML do know if Anderson will continue to run the Atlas brace or switch to the Astars one? I would assume that's in the deal but as a Canadian I'd like to see him stay in the Atlas
Edit: I know this is an Astars thread but does anyone know if Leatt is/has signing/signed a rider to wear their gear and helmet?
Alpinestars is doing it to get their branding up front so they can sell more protective gear. They’re really advertising what’s underneath the gear. Alpinestars is moving in on EVS’ market.

"no not that kit, its for our sponsored riders only"
The stuff you can buy from them looks alright but it's definitely not my favorite. You have to give it to them though the stuff they produce for their riders catches your eye pretty easily.
Why they did that I don't know.
But it literally makes absolutely Zero sense to be paying any American athletes at all, if there truly aren't plans for distribution in the future. You guys can fall for believing it's advertisement for their protection line, but that's naïve.
Makes sense for Alpinestars to sponsor American riders as the media reach is global. Why they have the riders wear gear that's unavailable to buy anywhere goes straight over my head though.
