GIVI TITLE SPONSOR

29/06/2009 GIVI TITLE SPONSOR of the LCR HONDA MotoGP Team

Laguna Seca, July 2: on the occasion of the 8th round of the 2009 season,
which will take place on 3, 4 and 5 July on the spectacular racetrack of
Laguna Seca in California, GIVI is back on track with the LCR Team as Title
Sponsor, customising with its own brand Randy De Puniet's RC212VsNo 14,
currently 10th in the world championship classification in the premier
class.

GIVI, among LCR Team most memorable past sponsors, renews its collaboration
with the team managed by Lucio Cecchinello who, together with his former
racing teammate and "almost" a brother Nobby Ueda, has already thrilled and
pleased Mr Giuseppe Visenzi and his company in Brescia with many successes.
Lucio and Nobby, in fact, have taken the brand GIVI with them on the podium
for 25 times in the 125cc class, since 1994, while riding a Honda machine.
In the following years, more 2-wheel talents, such as Casey Stoner, Eugene
Laverty, Carlos Checa and Randy De Puniet, have contributed to increase the
fame of the brand worldwide. Consequently, for its 12th year, GIVI and the
LCR Team will "switch on the engine" together, driven by the great passion
for the 2 wheels that Mr Visenzi has always had in his DNA. Former rider in
the Motorbike Racing World Championship in the 60s in the 250cc class, he
decided to start his entrepreneurial career in 1978 and, thanks to his
passion, determination and commitment, GIVI (headquarters located in Flero,
Brescia province) became, over a short time, a leader business in the
production and marketing of motorbike accessories. In 1982, it introduces
its first motorbike case, which will contribute to spread its fame around
the world. Thanks to the choice and use of first hand material and
state-of-the-art technologies, GIVI is synonym of Made in Italy of the
highest standards addressing bikers worldwide through a network of 8
commercial branches and 50 importers that guarantee its presence in all
continents.

Mrs Hendrika Visenzi - GIVI Commercial Director:
"The passion for races and speed gave us this initial kick. For this reason
we are grateful to the racing world. And when there is the possibility to
collaborate with a staff of professionals like the Team led by Lucio, we
respond with the greatest pleasure. I think our presence in the MotoGP will
please our customers and in general, all the motorcycling fans. We have been
dealing business with the USA market for years now. Our participation in the
race at Laguna Seca, as Title Sponsor, will certainly help to strengthen our
brand fame overseas...".

Lucio Cecchinello - LCR Team Manager:
"Since the LCR Team establishment, the contribution received by GIVI has
been crucial to us. We are honoured to renew in the 2009 season our
collaboration with the Visenzi Family and on the occasion of next Grand Prix
in the USA we hope to celebrate yet another success of Randy together with
the GIVI staff an the American importers, who will experience with us the
thrilling GP atmosphere".


Nobby Ueda - LCR Team former rider:
"It's a pleasure to see that after having introduced Lucio to GIVI this
collaboration is still on, year after year. I'm very close to the Visenzi
family for the technical and moral support they have given over the years
and for having been next to me during the happiest and not-so-happy moments
of my career. I'm sure that the Lacuna Seca GP will be a thrilling
experience for our GIVI guests, considering that the racetrack (where I have
raced in the past) is one of the most adrenaline-charged of the MotoGP".
