steve roberts 9,247 Posted June 12, 2016 Just got me thinking what was the most bizarre product that a rider endorsed? Bostik, who used to sponsor Ray Wilson, would be up there somewhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,203 Posted June 12, 2016 Doesn't Hancock have the European distribution rights for Monster? I'm sure it's one of his business interests outside speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keepturningleft 589 Posted June 12, 2016 Sadly, speedway riders and other sportspeople are now happy to humiliate themselves by pretending to consume the god-awful product they are promoting. Greg Hancock is by far the worst - it's cringeworthy and embarrassing to see him like a child with a dummy clinging on to that green slime. I would be surprised if even one single viewer watching this nauseating charade has ever been out and actually bought a bottle of the stuff. Sad that this is how it has to be. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted June 12, 2016 Imagine a bloke promoting the product that he is paid to promote... Madness. Promoting is one thing, shoving it in front of the camera on EVERY interview seems a little OTT to me. But so far, nobody's actually said through this, they have been persuaded to buy the stuff and try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 12, 2016 I wonder if Hancock encourages or even allows his kids to drink the stuff? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted June 12, 2016 Just got me thinking what was the most bizarre product that a rider endorsed? Bostik, who used to sponsor Ray Wilson, would be up there somewhere! I can recall Durex condoms sponsoring the England test team. One famous photo featured Peter, Les, Phil and Neil Collins all wearing the racejackets with Durex logo prominent. Perhaps not the best advert for the product? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But so far, nobody's actually said through this, they have been persuaded to buy the stuff and try it. I did. Started buying it from my local shop daily through Speedway advertising i.e. Greg Hancock originally. Same before that with Redbull. Originally bought that because of F1. Actually, I'd say everything I've had is via advertising. Even women 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
