LA RIOJA
(ARGENTINA), 30 April 2010 – This weekend Argentina will host its
maiden FIM MX3 World Championship event. It will be third MX3 race of the
season 2010.

The organizer and motocross fans are already excited.
It's been a long time since La Rioja took place of such a big event, so
everybody has big expectations. Many home riders will attend the race but
La Rioja is impatient to see Dario Victor Arco (Yamaha). Arco comes from La
Rioja and this year he decided to ride the complete MX3 World Championship
series. He came to his home place directly from Europe, where he already
took World Championship points in
Portugal and
France .
At the moment Arco is on the seventh position in the MX3 World Championship
classification. This weekend all spectators will look at him and Arco will
rider under the pressure, what he hopes will make him even stronger.

  

Spanish rider Carlos Campano (Yamaha), current leader of
the Championship and second rider of the Championship classification
Italian Alex Salvini (Husqvarna) came to
Argentina
with one wish – to win the South American MX3 event. Salvini tasted
the overseas win already in the last season, by winnng the Chilean event.
His memories of that win are still alive. Salvini is very popular in these
countries, so he will have the support although he will compete far away
from home. Campano is 6 points in front of him and in Argentina Campano
wish to make this advantage bigger. Third rider of the MX3 World
Championship classification Matevz Irt (Husqvarna) from
Slovenia will also
compete in
Argentina .
After first two successful events Irt wants to continue with good results.
Top three MX3 riders will compete together with European riders, which will
have to company of home Argentine, Chilean and other South Americans.

  

As this will be the first MX3 World Championship event
in
Argentina ,
it will be a special experience for everyone. The weather in La Rioja is
very hot these days and everyone believe Sunday will be the hottest day for
all the motocross fans. Before the main event will start, special
sightseeing will be organized for riders so they could see some particularity
of the area.

La Rioja, located on the east of the province. It is located on the foot of

The city was founded with
the name of Ciudad de Todos los Santos de la Nueva Rioja by the name of the

mountains, rivers and narrow passes. The climate of La Rioja City is dry
and hot with temperatures ranging from 21ºC to 35ºC in Summer and

narrow streets, low houses, museums, historical monuments, churches and
convents contrast with a dinamic commercial centre providing the tourist
with an excellent cultural alternative.
