After the Ganemos offensive which succeeded, this week, in convincing the Jerez municipal council, Dorna, the organizing company of the World Motorcycling Championship, declared yesterday that the “paddock girls” are considered by the company as “Grand Prix workers, in the same way as mechanics or people who ensure the safety of the tests. That is to say, like everyone else. »
Dorna’s Communications Director, Ignacio Sagnier, emphasized in statements to the media that the decision taken by the city of Jerez “didn’t surprise us” and said if anyone is interested in “the ideal image is precisely the sponsors, who have another very important quality: common sense. »
A manager of the organizing company of the Jerez Grand Prix continues by affirming that it is for these reasons that “we have never seen a paddock girl in a swimsuit on the track or circuit facilities. Its image is absolutely essential. »
“The presence of girls on the track and in places where sponsor brands are promoted is something normal that we observe with common sense. »
It is therefore now assured that the Spanish Grand Prix will not be without its umbrella girls, even if, humor or not, Dorna reminds us that she is “open to any alternative, like girls and boys or boys alone, as happened two or three years ago on the Assen circuit, where the driver Ana Carrasco had employed a paddock boy, just like Movistar, a few years earlier in Aragon, had used a girl and a boy. »
