The FIM Motocross World Championship travels to Mexico‏

GUADALAJARA
(Mexico), 10 May 2012 – For the first time in the history, Mexico
will host one Grand Prix of the FIM Motocross World Championship. The
track is located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, at about 1600m on the sea
level and high temperatures are assured for the whole weekend.

All
the teams are already in Guadalajara and the bikes and all the
material transported from Europe were already at the track on
Wednesday, so everything is ready at the Nicolas España’s track to
host the fourth Grand Prix of the FIM Motocross World
Championship. 



MX1
Red
Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Cairoli is landing in Mexico being the
MX1 championship leader with seventeen points advantage over Paulin.
Cairoli admitted in Fermo that he is very excited to attend the Grand
Prix of Mexico, as he loves visiting new countries and come across
different cultures. 

The runner up of the championship is
the rookie Paulin, who has been having an outstanding beginning of
the season. Paulin is seventeen points behind Cairoli, so he can
easily cut the distance here in Mexico if he does a good performance
in the intermediate ground track of Guadalajara. 

CP377
Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit’s Pourcel will race in Mexico
after having obtained his maiden MX1 Grand Prix victory two weeks ago
in Fermo. Pourcel is now third in the championship, but he is just
ten points away from Paulin, and he has been one of the most
consistent MX1 riders in the last two Grand Prix. 

The
fourth position in the MX1 class is for Belgian Desalle, who has not
had the results he was expecting before the season started. The
Rockstar Energy Suzuki World rider was on the third step of the
podium in Fermo, so he might be able to conquer the podium this
weekend in Guadalajara. 

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s
De Dycker is completing the top five of the MX1 class and even if has
not been on the podium in the previous three Grand Prix, he has been
fighting for the top positions in all the races. He is only eleven
points away from third classified Paulin, so he might enter the top
three this weekend if he does a good performance.

Strijbos and
Boog are sixth and seventh respectively and Bobryshev, who is almost
fully recovered from the injury he suffered in Valkenswaard, is
eighth in the championship tight in points with
Philippaerts. 

Frossard, who injured his right knee in
the GP of Bulgaria, missed the GP of Italy, but he has been able to
rest and he has now recovered some movement on his knee. The French
rider has explained that he might be able to do a good performance
this weekend in Mexico. 

Home rider Martin García is the
Mexican rider to follow in the MX1 class, as he is two times National
Champion and he is now leading the national championship.

MX2
Red
Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Herlings is the red plate holder in the
MX2 class and he is going to take part in the GP of Mexico with
thirty points advantage over the second classified Van Horebeek.
Herlings has been on the podium in the three previous GP, so the
Dutch rider is leading comfortably the series and he faces the
Mexican GP with confidence and determination to increase the
difference with his pursuers. 

After the Grand Prix of
Italy, Van Horebeek became the runner up of the MX2 class with five
points advantage over Searle. The Belgian rider is having a very
consistent beginning of the season and he is determined to conquer
the podium this weekend in Guadalajara. 

Team Floride
Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit’s Searle dropped down one
position in the point standings and he is now third due to his DNF in
the first moto of the Italian GP. Searle is looking forward to racing
this weekend in Mexico to recover some important points and get
closer to the leader of the series. 

Fourth in the MX2
class is his teammate Roelants, who also dropped one position in the
point standings after Fermo, as he got one DNF’s in the first race
in Italy and he could not take part in the second heat because he
received a big concussion in his head in the first moto. Roelants has
travelled to Mexico and he is ready to take part in the GP this
weekend and try to be podium again. 

Honda Gariboldi
Esta’s Anstie is completing the top five of the MX2 class and he is
very excited to take part in the Mexican GP and improve his position
in the point standings. The British rider has been very consistent so
far and he is now fighting to be on the podium. 

Tixier
and Ferrandis are sixth and seventh respectively and they are
followed by Nicholls and Kullas. Leib, who was on the podium in the
Italian Grand Prix, will be also attending the Mexican round and he
is looking forward to being back racing with the top MX2
riders.
