Press Release

GP of Belgium set for June 17 at Bastogne Walloon Region’s hotspot



FUNCHAL
(Portugal), 13 March 2012 – Youthstream and the organizer MX-Dema,
represented by Mr. Edmond Detry and Mr. Andre Mathieu, are pleased to
announce the comeback of the region of Walloon in Belgium to the FIM
Motocross World Championship calendar. On the 17th June weekend 2012,
the Plaine Militaire de Sans Soucis in Bastogne will host the eighth
Grand Prix of the season, which will mark the mid-point of the 2012
FIM Motocross World Championship. 

The last time that the
Walloon region celebrated a Grand Prix it was back in 2005 in Nismes,
where Mickael Pichon was on the first step of the MX1 class and
Antonio Cairoli obtained overall victory in MX2. But for sure riding
on this new venue this 2012 will be very special for Belgian rider
Clement Desalle, as it will be the first time he rides so close from
home, as Desalle is from the French speaking region of
Walloon.

Ticket pre sales are expected to open
soon.
