Yamaha confirmed a two year deal with Fiat for the main sponsorship of Edwards and Rossi's Yamaha M1 team. The major sticking point was an additional contract to allow the use of Rossi's image in promotional material for Fiat, which would be a major thing in Rossi's home country.
Team director Davide Brivio added: "It's nice to be able to finally unveil our new livery and our new sponsorship with Fiat. It's a new start for us - a new bike, a new sponsor and a new challenge as we try to win back the title.
"It's been a long pre-season for us but we're finally ready for the first race this week; let's hope we can mark our first outing in Fiat Yamaha Team colours in victorious style!"
Victorious Indeed, maybe they should have signed early so Fiat would have had some promotional material from the Jerez fun.
Oh, and of course, Rossi keeps some Neon Yellow on his suit.
