There’s no rest for the weary MotoGP rider after racing in the Qatar GP.
Jorge Lorenzo stopped off in Milan on Wednesday for a Sector watches event, while Ducati’s Nicky Hayden went even farther, flying to Jakarta, Indonesia for Ducati’s sponsor Shell Advance’s ‘Enjoy Every Ride’ global campaign.
Hayden on a Ducati 1199 Panigale S and another 100 other riders toured the city and then went to Foundry 8, where Shell Advance unveiled the details of the new campaign.
“What a great experience to be in Indonesia for the first time! To ride through the streets of Jakarta as part of such a huge convoy was incredible, since I love bikes so much,” said Hayden.
“It’s all down to being part of the Shell Advance launch here; it’s been great fun.
It’s really important to look after any motorcycle and good oil really helps you to enjoy it for longer.
We use only Shell Advance in the Ducati MotoGP bike because it’s the best for our performance on the track.
” As part of the launch, Nicky also joined ‘scientists’ to participate in Shell Advance’s ‘Punk Science’ live demonstration where scientific beakers, flasks and test tubes were replaced with blenders, cocktail shakers, fruit juices and honey.
Together, Hayden and the ‘scientists’ had some fun making cocktails to bring to life the various elements that go into making the superior RCE (Reliability, Control, Enjoyment) technology formula of Shell Advance lubricants, which must have been very similar to the one he did last season, and you can see in the video below.
