UEM present 2012 innovations for EMX65 and EMX85 series


TEUTSCHENTHAL
(Germany), 10th July 2011 - The UEM is pleased to announce that for the
EMX65 and EMX85 Championships in 2012, Europe will be divided into 4
geographical zones with an appointed co-ordinator to oversee each zone.

This
has been agreed with the President of Youthstream, Mr Giuseppe Luongo.
Youthstream are the promoters of the European Motocross Championship
and the UEM works very closely and in harmony with Youthstream in
developing the various European motocross championships. More than 80%
of the current riders in MX1 and MX2 are European and most have
successfully competed in European Championships in the past.

The 4 zones are as follows:

North West Europe
Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.


The co-ordinator for this zone is Mr. Peter Hansen, Vice Chairman of UEM MX Commission.

North East Europe
Belarus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.


The co-ordinator for this zone is Mrs. Nina Birjukova, UEM Vice President and CMS member.

South East Europe
Albania,
Austria, Azerbaijan, Boznia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
FYROM, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Moldavia, Montenegro,
Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey.


The co-ordinator for this zone is Mr Bogdan Nikolov, President of BMF and Balkan Motorcycle Union.

South West Europe
Andorra, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Portugal, San Marino, Spain and Switzerland.


The co-ordinator for this zone is Mr. Paolo Sesti, President of FMI.


There will be between 3 and 6 events per zone taking place between April
and July 2012. The top 10 riders from each zone will then be invited by
Youthstream to compete in the EMX65 and EMX85 Finals, which will be
held during the MX1/MX2 GP of Great Britain in August 2012.


To ensure that organisers are forthcoming and are not at a financial
risk, the decision has been taken to put a rider’s entry fee of 100
Euros per event for these two Championship classes. All entry fees go to
the organiser of each event.

Splitting Europe into the 4 zones drastically reduces the costs for the
parents/sponsors of the young riders and also reduces the time away from
the rider’s school and time away from the parent’s work.


The Chairman of the UEM Motocross Commission, Mr. Eddie Herd, is
delighted with this innovative idea from Youthstream which will give the
young riders the opportunity to race on a World famous GP track in
front of the team principals, the World’s media and the tens of
thousands of spectators and which is a further development of European
motocross.


For 2011, Youthstream will give much needed support for the Motocross of
European Nations to be held on the GP track at Sevlievo, Bulgaria on
the 8/9 October 2011, via strong promotion together with television and
media coverage.


Mr. Eddie Herd thanks Youthstream and the CMS for the continuing support
and partnership which is enabling the European Motocross Championships
to develop and also increase its role in supplying top riders to enhance
the World Championships. The secret of success is a strong and close
partnership between Youthstream, the FIM/CMS and the UEM where all
partners are linked through respect, are all on the same side and where
all decisions are taken together. With the support of Youthstream, it is
an undeniable fact that the European Motocross Championship is the best
Continental Championship in the World and is the “role model” for other
CONUs to follow.
