Which would be SOMETHING to do with Rossi now wouldn't it:up: Doesn't have to be a direct edict from Rossi for Hayden to sign for Rossi to be involved with it, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

These guys can wear whatever suit they prefer, at the end of the day money is the reason they wear a particular brand.
I am sure the money is nice...but I would bet they want whatever brand will protect them the best. Most of the these guys have enough money to live off of, and are not worried about a few grand to cover some expenses if they miss some club races. They are more worried about falling off at 200mph and staying injury free to get back on their bike and finish the race.
