If French rider Olivier Pain is leading in the general standings of the 2013 Dakar Rally with his Yamaha 450 YZF Rally bike after five stages of the punishing Argentina to Chile race, fellow countryman Hugo Payen who is in his 6th rally as a privateer, has instead made himself well known for his sponsor and the very particular livery design on his Yamaha.
Payen, for the second consecutive year is being sponsored by Video Marc Dorcel, a French director/producer who runs an adult entertainment business.
Last year Payen’s bike was decorated with the images of Anna Polina, one of Dorcel’s starlets and the team presentations are carried out obviously in a sex shop (NSFW video after the jump) while this year the Yamaha’s fairings has French porn star Clair Castel – another girl from Dorcel’s stable – plastered over them.
Payen’s racing number is ‘69,’ but we doubt that anyone thinks that it’s a homage to MotoGP’s Nicky Hayden.
