The organizer improved the race track conditions to the level, that riders will be able to compete in all weather conditions. In dry, or wet and muddy situations. However, it will be the same for everyone. They also created two sand areas.

The Clerk of the Course Roberto Rustichelli explained his expectations before the event: »Our moto club and the Major of the town put a lot of effort that we will have a World Championship event here in San Severino after eight years, again. Everyone did very hard job during the winter. We had to educate people, improve infrastructure and prepare the race track according to FIM regulations. As the Clerk of the Course I was appointed by the Italian Federation. That means a double honour to me, but in the same time also double responsibility. Our organization staff consider around 120 people, who are motivated and prepared to make a good job. They have supported my requests.«

Also the weather forecast seems will be good, so everybody already expect a successfull and exciting third weekend in the season 2008.
