Press Release

Youthstream and Glen Helen together with one goal


FUNCHAL
(Portugal), 11 July 2011 – Following the publication of the 2012
Provisional FIM Motocross World Championship Calendar, where the USGP is
not present, Youthstream and Glen Helen would like to confirm that
their relationship is extremely good and the will to co-operate remains
strong. The decision to not put the USGP on the 2012 calendar is based
on the fact that there is a lack of interest from the American
industries and due to the low presence of top American riders. This is
an almighty shame as the organization and the quality of the racing at
the USGP in Glen Helen was really impressive.

Youthstream
and Glen Helen will however continue working on having a USGP in the
future with the presence of the top American riders.


'It has certainly been great working with Bud Feldkamp, Lori Byrant and
all the Glen Helen staff, they welcomed the World Championship, and they
are very friendly and professional.' The President of Youthstream,
Giuseppe Luongo, said. 'Glen Helen is one of the best Motocross tracks
in the world and I really hope to be able to return one day. During
this time together I have found a true and trustful friend in Bud.'


Bud Felkamp, the owner of Glen Helen, said: 'Working with Youthstream
and the FIM has been a great experience, a real pleasure. The World
Championship teams are very well organized and the riders are really
fast – the races were just spectacular. We have heard some absurd
things about Giuseppe Luongo and I would just like to say that Mr.
Luongo is a person who cares a lot about the organizers and the whole
series in general, he is someone who understands the various problems
and tries his best to find good compromises to allow the race to
happen.’


Mr. Feldkamp continued: 'We are hoping to find support from the American
Motocross industries so that we can continue organizing the USGP with
the top US and European riders, and have the race of the century, it
would be such a big loss for the American fans if we lose this race.
Glen Helen is the best track in the world and we would love seeing
Villopoto, Stewart, Dungey, Reed and all our other great riders battle
it out against the likes of Cairoli, Desalle, Roczen – so we count on
the support of the American riders, fans and industry.'
