Haslam signs up with Dainese

Leon Haslam has rejoined Dainese for this year’s World Superbike campaign, who will provide the British BMW rider with race equipment throughout 2011.

Just as for all the other riders sponsored by Dainese, Haslam’s suit will be fitted with the D-air airbag system and the Derbyshire rider was pleased to have tied up a deal with the Italian manufacturer.

“I’m very happy to be rejoining Dainese,” claimed Haslam. “Having visited the Dainese headquarters it’s clear that the heritage of motorcycle racing and safety protection is synonymous with the Dainese name. I’m also very much looking forward to having the D-Air technology – I just hope I don’t need it!

“The technical guys at Dainese are excellent and the suits I’ve tried so far are extremely practical, lightweight and – following my small crash at Cartagena two weeks ago – offer the necessary protection.

“I hope with Dainese, BMW and my other partners that we are also all celebrating success at the end of the 2011 World Superbike Championship.”
