This is what Sergio Gadea and Maverick Vinales' bikes look like next season. It is SuperMartxé VIP by Paris Hilton 125cc racing team bike. I am sure that their racing suits will be matched to the color scheme of the bike. They will look like right out of drawing board of Barbie design team from Mattel. As far as I know, almost all of motorcycle bloggers are bitching and moaning about this Paris Hilton sponsored team and feeling sorry for the two riders who would look like a Ken doll.
Yeah, sure those riders might get cat calls and sniggers from other riders and fan on the track, but hey, they got a sponsor, who are 
providing the bikes, other necessary stuff to go with and paying you to race. So I say it is better than no sponsor. Additionally those guys might get extra cheer from little girls and big girls even. If I were a racer and they give me this sponsorship, I would take it in a heart beat and slip myself into a pink and glittered my little pony leather suit with smile.
Moreover, because of her involvement in MotoGP, it is getting attention from international media, making motorcycle race more popular. Anything to promote what you love, right? so quit bitching you so-called race fans.
Reportedly, Hilton is contractually obligated to attend five MotoGP races.
