Maria Costello, the UK’s fastest woman motorcycle racer, has this week confirmed that Bering would become her main sponsor for the 2006-racing season. The French based motorcycle clothing company confirmed the deal at the recent Motorcycle Trade Expo Show. Costello impressed Bering with her success during 2005 when she became the first ever female to take a podium finish at the Isle of Man. “They were very proud when I made history in 2005 and they want to see me progress further. This partnership will add even more to the Bering name,” said Costello.
