The Blusens Aprilia team formed to ride in the Moto GP Championship

The motor racing team, which this year will race with Aprilia, is to take part in the World and Spanish Championships, with riders of the calibre of Pablo Nieto and Aleix Espargaró.

Santiago de Compostela, 12 January 2007 - Blusens, the manufacturer specialized in the latest generation of consumer electronics, has just signed a sponsorship agreement with the BQR motorcycle racing team, which this year is to race with Aprilia. With this sponsorship deal, Blusens sees its own values of youth, vitality and enthusiasm reflected in the Catalan racing team, which has been strengthened with new signings for the 2007season.
The agreement, which was signed today by José Ramón García, Chairman and CEO of Blusens, and Raúl Romero, owner of the BQR team, will run for whole of the coming season, which is scheduled to get under way in March in Qatar.
The Blusens Aprilia team will race in the 125 cc and 250 cc categories in the World and Spanish Championships. The Madrid-born rider, Pablo Nieto will start his first season in the 250cc category, alongside the Catalan Aleix Espargaró in the colours of the new racing team. The Dutch rider, Hugo Van Den Berg, will ride in the 125 cc catagory.
The Blusens Aprilia team will also compete in the Spanish Supersport and Fórmula Extreme Championships, where they have riders of likes of Dani Rivas, a Galician rider with a promising future, and David De Gea, the current Spanish Champion.
This year, the World Motorcycling Championship will have an additional meeting. The first training sessions will get under way at the end of this month at Jerez in the province of Cádiz, the setting for the Second Round of the World Championships, after the meeting in Qatar.
Committed to the setting of top-class competition – in 2006 they sponsored the football team, R.C. Deportivo de la Coruña and the hockey team Liceo de la Coruña– Blusens remains faithful to its philosophy of supporting top class sport. In the words of José Ramón García: “With this sponsorship deal we’ve found the perfect travelling companion for our latest generation technology. On one hand we totally identify with the potential, youth and vitality of the team members, and with their enthusiasm in racing in the championships - and we believe that the riders are happy with a brand that reflects their lifestyle, too; and on the other hand, as this is sport with a great following all over the world, we are putting our strategy of internationalization in pole position."
