It was you wasn't it, Jim? If they didn't want to be spied on then they should have covered the bikes and riders in that funky looking fabric that auto manufacturers do when they are out testing.
I have been known to drop by Sears and T-Hill when the factories were testing, but no. Not this time. -jim
It was Aliens from the horsehead nebula looking for someone to anal probe and they discovered that Hayes has a nice butt.
First thing that crossed my mind. But amusing, nonetheless. It's really not hard to figure out when teams are testing somewhere. IN the age of "social media" half the time the riders announce it to the public sort of unwittingly. If the teams and tracks don't want people there, well then they have ways. But T-Hill (and Sears to some extent) all have vantage points outside the circuit property. I can see it happening. -jim
Contrived controversy isn't the worst strategy I've seen. Actually, given that they've created a controversy that involves their brand without actually implicating it as the culprit, it's pretty ingenious. ...or some people were just curious and well-organized. I bet they could have gotten better pics by asking the team for permission and making some compromises on creative control.
Hey, they have to do something. They will race in a championship that nobody will see or care about. Maybe, just maybe they should take all that money they would have spent on TV commercials and put it all into prize money and sponsoring club racing.
The "spy" footage I saw posted up has the Monster, Graves and Yamaha logos on it. And one of the spy shots is Graves' Facebook cover shot. Kinda funny. Kinda clever.
