2018 Sponsored Racers Part 1
Hello and welcome to Alex's blog!
This week I wanted to tell you all about the racers that we supply with clothing and their race schedules. As there are eleven riders this will be a two-part blog (lucky you!)
First up is British Superbike rider <a href="http://www.ginorea.com/">Gino Rea</a>. Gino aka "Speedy G" was a successful motocross and supermoto rider before changing to circuit racing. He started out in the Supersport World Championship, then the European Superstock 600 championship, World Supersport Championship then MotoGP Moto2 World Championship. He then went on to World SBK Supersport Championship and is now in the British Superbike Championship. Gino rides for Suzuki on a GSX R 1000 and currently wears the Frank Thomas D Air Suit.
You can follow Gino on facebook https://www.facebook.com/GinoReaOfficial/ here.
