Today happens to be the day that they're running the US Grand Prix Moto-GP race. In a number of countries, tobacco advertising is absolutely forbidden, making racing teams "modify" their bikes and leathers! For example, Here's the Ducati-Marlboro team at some MotoGP tracks:

And here's the same bike at others:

Then there's the Yamaha-Gauloises bike of Valentino Rossi from 2 years ago:

And the same bike for other tracks

And another example from this year, Valentino Rossi's Yamaha-Camel bikes:

And the "PC" version of the team graphics. Notice that they're not even allowed to use the drawing of the camel. Notice it's now a drawing of a motorcycle!

It's really all pretty silly.

It makes no sense.
