Hot on the heels of the presentation of the SBK Russian Round last week in Moscow, comes the presentation of another Russian team to take part in the 2012 FIM Supersport World Championship - RivaMoto - during the prestigious Moscow Fashion Week held at Gostiny Dvor in Red Square. Visitors were able to view the new team colours and race bike on show at the unique venue. The design for the RivaMoto team clothing has been created by the famous Russian designer, Natalia Kolykhalova.

At the spectacular location guests were able to witness glamorous evening gowns alongside the teams race wear on the runway. The sophisticated atmosphere of Moscow Fashion Week was filled with the sound of motorcycles, and racing fans could have their photograph taken against the backdrop of RivaMoto's bike and watch a video about their participation in the FIM World Supersport Championship in 2011.

Plans for the next season, RivaMoto's second in World Supersport, were announced by Jeremy McWilliams, a special guest of the Moscow Fashion Week and personal trainer for the Riva Moto riders, Eduard Blokhin and Oleg Pozdneev. Russia is a fast growing market for motorcycles and road-racing activity, with media including national TV channels showing their interest in RivaMoto's unusual presentation (see video).

With the announcement of the first FIM Superbike World Championship round which will take place at Moscow Raceway on August 26th, 2012, this will surely help to attract new fans of motorsport in Russia. The RivaMoto Team are proud to make a major contribution to road-racing awareness in Russia and are looking forward to competing at their home round at the Moscow event.
