BANDERAS INVESTS IN NEW MOTORCYCLING TEAM
ANTONIO BANDERAS is revving up for a new career - he's launching his own motorcycling team.
The Spanish star is investing in a team to compete in the Moto2 league, a new category in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing league that's slated to begin next year (10).
Banderas plans to hire rider Joan Olive as well as one other racer for the team, which he will either name the Banderas Racing Team or Team Antonio Banderas.
He says, "I have always been passionate about this world and the opportunity came along and I didn't hesitate. I will try to give my best to the riders in this new category so that they can work in the best conditions."
The Desperado star has been a motorcycling enthusiast for the last 30 years and is said to own a number of bikes in his personal collection.

I am concerned about Antonio embarking on this new project. It's well known
that motorcycle accidents have a high rate of severe injury or death. And to
introduce the speed into the equation does not seem wise to say the least. I am
also wondering why at this point in his very successful career would he want to
put his name and fortune on the line for such a dangerous sport, considering
the potential catastropic results.
Antonio, please reconsider this questionable investment. It's potential payoff
seems to be highly overstated.
