The FIM Motocross World Championship is back on Motors TV

FUNCHAL
(PORTUGAL), 15 April 2011 - From the next Grand Prix of the Netherlands
in Valkenswaard on Easter Monday, the FIM Motocross World Championship
will return LIVE to Motors TV!

As per the last
three years, the entire season of the MX1 and MX2 categories will
receive LIVE coverage. The ‘High Speed Television’ channel will also
broadcast the MX of Nations, which this year takes place in Saint Jean
d’Angély, in France, as well as 26 minute highlights from the MX3 World
Championship.


Jean-Luc Roy, Président Directeur Général de Motors TV explained:
“After three years of exceptional coverage on Motors TV, it was
inconceivable that the Motocross World Championship could exist without
the unique exposure given by the ‘High Speed Television’ channel, and
by it alone! The championship promoter immediately realised that the
Europe’s first motorsport channel was integral to ensure such a high
level broadcast in terms of quality and quantity.

For the next three seasons, fans of motocross are now certain to be
able to follow their favourite championship in the best possible
conditions!”


Frédéric Viger, Head of Programmes and Acquisitions: “After the
disappointment of our contract not being renewed and the first Grand
Prix of the season not being broadcast on television last weekend,
Motors TV is delighted that Youthstream has accepted that it wasn’t
feasible to lose Motors TV and its 20 million subscribers. As proof,
the partnership with the Motocross World Championship has been renewed
for three years until the end of 2013. With highlights of the French,
Belgian and MX3 Championships and particularly our live coverage of the
American AMA Championship, Motors TV has further strengthened its
position as the channel for motocross fans.”


Giuseppe Luongo, President of Youthstream: “Youthstream is delighted to
have finalised an agreement with Motors TV for 2011, 2012 and 2013,
which will see the FIM Motocross MX1 and MX2 World Championships
continuing to be broadcast live and with repeats, highlights and news.
We thank Motors TV, motorsport’s leading pan-European television
station, who has been one of our main broadcasters for the past three
years and who has supported the development of the FIM Motocross World
Championship.


As already explained, the project and investment in MX-LIFE.TV will
continue and increase because, thanks to this great worldwide
television coverage, we will give our Grand Prix events, sponsors,
teams and riders great exposure and the worldwide fans will have the
possibility to follow our sport and enter deeply into our world.”


FIM MX World Championship, Round 2, Valkenswaard (Netherlands): Monday 25 April from 12:00.


Motors TV, the ‘High Speed Television’ channel, provides the widest
coverage of international motorsport, with exclusive events and more
than 80 championships transmitted in 38 countries in Europe and 20
