The first non-tobacco title sponsor in the four-stroke MotoGP category, Fiat joined up with Yamaha in 2007, when MotoGP switched to the 800cc format.

That relationship has manifested itself in Rossi testing with Ferrari ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/fiat-leaves-yamaha-motogp/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>8</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Yamaha&#8217;s MotoGP Team Still Without A Title Sponsor</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/yamaha-title-sponsor-problem/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/yamaha-title-sponsor-problem/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Dec 2010 15:46:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[AMG]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ben Spies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[branding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati Corse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiat]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jorge Lorenzo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[personal brand]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sponsorship]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Valentino Rossi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yamaha]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Yamaha Racing]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=17251</guid> <description><![CDATA[After winning the MotoGP Triple Crown: The Rider, Team, and Manufacturer Championships, the factory Yamaha team finds itself in a difficult position looking for a title sponsor for next year. Perhaps under-appreciating the value of having Rossi on board a Yamaha bike in 2011, the tuning fork brand has now been left scrambling for a marquis name to help foot the bills for the next season. Despite having the reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo and Rookie of the Year Ben Spies, deals with Petronas, Telefonica, and AirAsia have failed to materialize, despite lengthy rumor, meaning Yamaha's corporate Blue/White livery might be spotted in Qatar.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/yamaha-title-sponsor-problem/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>24</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Countdown to V-Day</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/countdown-brno-yamaha-announcement/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/countdown-brno-yamaha-announcement/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:10:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[announcement]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ben Spies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brno]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Colin Edwards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[countdown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Czech GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiat]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiat Yamaha]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jorge Lorenzo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Moviestar]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Petronas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rumors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Telefonica]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Valentino Rossi]]></category> <category><![CDATA[we like talking in metaphors]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=13082</guid> <description><![CDATA[No it&#8217;s not Victory Day, nor Valentine&#8217;s Day, and not even the next showing of the Vagina Monologues, the countdown to V-Day in the motorcycle world is the day that Valentino Rossi announces his move to Ducati in MotoGP racing.

Fiat as you might remember is the title sponsor of the factory Yamaha MotoGP team, and also the parent company to Ferrari. In what he calls a &#8220;great idea&#8221;, di Montezemolo made it clear that he would like to see the seven-time World Champion driving for Corse Rosa.
