Lucky Knickers!

I just read a great little article about an ex GP privateer called Walter Migliorati.

Apparently, before he finally stopped racing due to incarceration in a drug dealing bust, Walter was a pretty successful rider who loved to party hard, and had an interesting line in umbrella girls.

Instead of the usual promo-girls in swimsuits, Mr Migliorati used to hire a couple of local prostitutes to accompany him to each race, shag his brains out all weekend and be his grid girls - usually topless.

Lots of riders have lucky charms when they race. But again Walter took this to another level - wearing a pair of the whores knickers under his crash helmet.

Great PR work.
