Belen & Hayden: the rider & the babe

Most of the media time on Saturday was monopolized by Valentino Rossi's crash, which is unfortunate.  Unfortunate for Rossi, but also because there was another event worthy of some attention.

This one involved the noteworthy "showgirl" Belen, who is also a spokeswoman for TIM, an important sponsor for Ducati.

Nicky Hayden, chosen as the "model" to accompany her, didn't seem to mind this slightly unusual work, flashing his trademark smile as if to say, "you are beautiful, but I'm kinda cool myself."

Belen was clad in an electric blue dress that left little to the imagination.  And there really isn't anything else to say.  Just enjoy the pictures... in all their detail.
