From a pair of press releases issued by Sidi:

Jamie Stauffer signs with Sidi boots!

The latest hot Aussie rider has made a home for himself in the states in short order.

Jamie Stauffer came to California in February, slid on his Sidi Vertebra 2 boots and proceeded to impress the establishment enough to land his ass in one of the coveted Yoshimura Suzuki seats for the rest of the AMA 600cc season!

One thing won’t change now that he is on the upward track though…Jamie recently signed a long-term agreement with Sidi so one thing will stay consistent as he battles his way up the ranks…his Sidi boots!



LEE ACREE signs with SIDI boots!

Lee Acree recently used the occasion of his mid-season team changes to do something that he has wanted to do for a long time, sign with Sidi boots!

Earlier team deals always had Lee tied to a particular boot leaving him little choice but to run what they threw at him…and hope they would work when he threw it away…

Well, for Lee anyway, those worries are over! Acree will now be wearing the most protective and supportive boot in the world, the Sidi Race Vertebra beginning this weekend, June 27-29, in round four of the Formula USA National Championship Series at Virginia International Raceway. Acree will campaign his new Yamahas and wear Sidi boots for the rest of the 2003 season, competing in AMA Pro, WERA, and Formula USA/CCS events.

“I’m looking forward to the second half of 2003,” said Acree. “I had strong finishes earlier in the year, particularly at Daytona and Sears Point, so I want to carry that momentum into the rest of this year. Sidi has also really come through for me, and I’m looking forward to racing the new Yamaha R6s, which have been the bike to beat since they came out. It doesn’t hurt that they have a really strong contingency program as well.”
