FUNCHAL (PORTUGAL), 10 June 2008 – Following the recent announcement about the presence of one of the Clinica Mobile doctors at each Grand Prix, FIM Motocross World Championship promoter Youthstream announces another step forward in the riders’ safety thanks to the partners Lovemytime and Impeco.
At the paddock of each Motocross Grand Prix, Youthstream, Lovemytime and Impeco set up a dedicated structure with highly professional physiotherapists; these specialists are at the riders’ disposal during the whole race weekend, offering them the best physiotherapeutic treatments before and after the races.
Impeco Motor Sport Services Srl is the Official Carrier and Official Travel Agency of the FIM Motocross World Championship and it cooperated with Youthstream in several projects, such as the successful 2007 Red Bull Motocross of Nations package tour for the event in Budds Creek (USA).
The brand Lovemytime is part of the E-MOTION group and it is specialized in high-tech leisure time products. In the FIM Motocross World Championship Lovemytime has been the title sponsor of the Lovemytime Grand Prix of Italy in Mantova (May 18) and it is also the title sponsor of the Lovemytime Pole Position Award and of the Lovemytime Qualifying Awards. Moreover Lovemytime sponsors riders Alessio Chiodi (MX1), Cedric Melotte (MX1), Davide Guarneri (MX2), Kenneth Gundersen (MX1), Antti Pyrhonen (MX1) and last but not least the 2008 MX1 and MX2 series leaders David Philippaerts and Antonio Cairoli.
Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, President of Youthstream, said: “This is another important step forward towards the riders’ safety and the riders’ health at the Motocross Grand Prix’s. We have the best Motocross riders in the world, they are all great athletes and they deserve the best possible treatment. I would like to thank Lovemytime and Impeco, now all riders can benefit from a professional physiotherapeutic service onsite and this is great news for us.”
Dr. Wolfgang Srb, FIM/CMS President, stated: “The best Motocross Championship and the best riders in the world deserve the best medical service. I am happy that Youthstream could finalize this important agreement. This is another major step in the right direction; the riders will benefit from this service a lot.”
Mr. Pier Carlo Bottero, Managing Director of Impeco, continued: “I have been following the sport for many years and I have seen it grow more and more. I am proud to be involved in the improvements of the series and I think this professional physiotherapeutic service will be very useful for all Grand Prix riders. It is great to work with Lovemytime and Youthstream and I want to thank them both for this great cooperation.”
Mr. Filippo Bellotti, President of E-MOTION, ended: “Since the moment we understood there was an interest from all the World Championship riders, it was a spontaneous choice to let them benefit from the service we had initially planned only for our supported riders. This initiative perfectly matches the Lovemytime spirit, as the company approaches the world of Motocross by placing values such as passion, generosity and genuine sportsmanship in first place.”
