There may even be several levels of sponsorship depending on the dealer and just like any other sponsorship it can be based on many different things, for me the most important is building a relationship over time and it more important to me that you send me buisness than how fast you are on my product no matter what it is.
I had a racer that I sponsored back in the day that said his job was just to go fast not rep the buisness and he could not have been more wrong. That is your primary job as a sponsored rider is to rep your sponsor, running at the front helps but not is everything.
Thanks Bart. It is very good information to know.
