Long term partnership between UEM and Youthstream‏

FUNCHAL
(Portugal), 08 March 2011 - Following the great cooperation and mutual
satisfaction developed during the past years of partnership, UEM,
following the decision of the Management Council on the 04.02.2011, and
Youthstream have signed a long term agreement concerning the exclusive
rights of all the Motocross European Championships.

Mr.
Vincenzo Mazzi, President of the UEM stated: ‘The Management Council
welcomed this agreement with a lot of interest because it will help to
make way for an economical autonomy. Relations with Youthstream have
always been rich of satisfaction. With this contract we are working on
giving more value to our cooperation in the interest of riders and
Federations.’


Mr. Giuseppe Luongo believes this a very important step for the future
of Motocross in Europe and said, ‘80% of all the business linked to the
Motocross World Championship is based in Europe and for this reason, as
has already happened in many major sports like football and athletics,
etc, we have to develop the European Championship and give more value
to the European title. In the meantime we will continue developing the
125 2 stroke and EMX2 Championships which are already very successful.


‘Youthstream and UEM are also working together on a project ‘save the
young talent’, this programme will support young riders coming from the
European Championship to enter in top teams and help them have the
right support so that they are able to grow.’


Mr. Luongo continued by saying, ‘We are working on giving more value to
the Motocross of European Nations (MXOEN) and from 2012 we would like
to see all the National teams participating with their top riders. And
on top of that a new ‘European Champions League’ is being created with
all the top European riders from the World and European Championships
coming together in a unique event to compete for the European Champions
title. Naturally, these events will be organized with the Youthstream
standards in partnership with UEM on the best circuits in Europe and
with full TV and media coverage.’
