Tissot Sponsors Bradley Smith

With MotoGP fast becoming one of the most popular sports in the UK, Swiss watchmaker Tissot is proud to announce their partnership with British MotoGP 125cc racer, Bradley Smith. Tissot are always keen to support up-and-coming British talent, and this is reinforced by this local partnership with Bradley as a friend of the brand for the 2009 season.

Tissot has a long standing alliance with MotoGP as the official timekeeper and has supported Ducati rider Nicky Hayden since 2006, the year in which he went on to win the championship.

Bradley Smith has been Grand Prix racing since 2006 and at only 18, already has a list of accolades to his name. After successful seasons with both Repsol Honda and Polaris World, Bradley signed with Bancaja Aspar Aprilia for the 2009 season. In May this year he won his first ever Grand Prix with a dominant performance at Jerez. His first Pole Position of the season came at Mugello in which he scored his second Grand Prix victory.

Philip Poole, Tissot UK Brand Director comments ‘Tissot is thrilled to be announcing this local partnership with MotoGP’s rising star Bradley Smith. We are always keen to support talented sportsmen, which also shows in Tissot’s long standing relationship with superstar Michael Owen whom we have been supporting for 11 years now.

This dedicated involvement with sports talent now also applies to our support of Bradley in these early stages of his career. Tissot has a long standing association with MotoGP, which reflects our brand values of precision, performance and prestige, whilst always looking to push the boundaries further in pursuit of excellence."

Bradley is hoping for a winning start for his sponsors in front of a home crowd at Donnington Park Sunday 26th July
