Leading motorsports technical safety company Alpinestars is developing its links with Indian racing by supporting rising motorcycle star, Dilip Rogger.

Dilip is proving to be the most exciting young rider emerging on the Indian sub-continent and has already achieved an impressive number of victories in Indian National Championships and further afield on tracks throughout South-East Asia.

Alpinestars has confirmed its support for Dilip and will provide the young rider from Chennai with his technical racing equipment, including; leather suit, boots, gloves and protection for 2009.

Alpinestars is not a newcomer to racing in India and already enjoys partnerships with the Force India Formula 1 team and Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first Formula 1 driver. Dilip is, however, the first prominent Indian motorcycle road racer to join Alpinestars and he looks likely to follow the mould set by his illustrious countrymen in Formula 1.

Alpinestars was established in 1963 as a design and manufacturing company of technical footwear for off-road motorcycle sport. Throughout its continuing development, the company has been deeply involved with racing at the highest level and many of the world’s motorsport stars have won numerous championships both on two wheels and four with support from Alpinestars. With the experience and knowledge gained on the race track, the company develops a full range of safety protection for motorcycling and auto racing
