Tissot secures naming rights to Australian MotoGP round

Swiss watch manufacturer Tissot has been announced as the title sponsor of the Australian Grand Prix in this year’s MotoGP championship.

Tissot is already an established commercial partner to the motorcycling organisation and serves as its official timekeeper.

During the October 20 race, held at Phillip Island, Tissot will benefit from trackside advertising and enhanced TV visibility and press coverage.

Following his victory during last weekend’s round in the Czech Republic, Spanish rookie Marc Marquez leads the 2013 MotoGP standings from compatriot and Honda Repsol team-mate Dani Pedrosa.
