Valkenswaard opening 2012 FIM MX World Championship

VALKENSWAARD
(Netherlands), 5 April 2012 - Everything is ready for the FIM
Motocross World Championship comeback this Easter weekend in
Valkenswaard, the Netherlands. The Dutch track will not only host the
first Grand Prix of sixteen of the MX1 and MX2 classes, but also the
first round of the FIM MX3 World Championship and the first round of
the FIM Women´s Motocross World Championship.

First time in
WMX history they will start together with MX1, MX2 and MX3 riders.
Four cathegories in one place, one weekend. This will continue at 19
August 2012 in Matterley Basin (Great Britain). And last time meet
all four cathegories together in Teutschenthal (Germany) at 23 August
2012.

Valkenswaard is one of the most difficult track in WMX
Championship. Thanks to last year results was Steffi Laier World
Champ. Surely, in season 2012 she won´t leave to chance anything and
she will defend the title. It won´t be easy for her and her team,
because last year success was only 9 points over the second –
Chiara Fontanesi. Chiara wants to be the best this year too. She
lives nearby Netherlands, in Belgium, so she can train at the same
conditions, as here in Valkenswaard.

WMX fights are not only
between two riders. After very well winter preparation of Britt van
der Wekken, she wants to make a podium so many times as it is
possible. Great last year results, podium in Senkvice, it all was at
her ending results – fourth place overall. In addition Britt is at
home, well-known conditions, terrain, track profile... Everything is
good for her riding and preparation for attack the first
place.
