Media Coverage Of The FIM Motocross Grand Prix Of Germany

TEUTSCHENTHAL (GERMANY), 26 June 2008- The FIM Motocross Grand Prix of Germany, to take place in Teutschenthal on June 29th, will be broadcast live and delayed according to the attached schedule. The event will also host the fourth of five rounds of the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship.

TALKESSEL AND TEUTSCHENTHAL

The Talkessel race track in Teutschenthal is one of the most important courses in the country; this hard pack circuit underwent a few changes last year, with the ground becoming slightly softer as sand was added to the hard base. The twisty layout features many undulations which make it very spectacular from a racing point of view. Last year some showers affected the whole Sunday, when Philippaerts and Cairoli won the MX1 and MX2 Grand Prix’s respectively.

A crowd of 32000 spectators turned out in Teutschenthal last year.

Teutschenthal is a small town located in the heart of Germany, actually in the State of Saxony-Anhalt which hosts part of the river Elbe’s course, the low mountains of Harz and the fertile Magdeburger plain. Germany’s capital Berlin is only 200 kilometres South as the closest main city is Leipzig, less than an hour drive away.
