Press Release

Youthstream and the FIM announce 2012 Mexican GP

SAN
BERNARDINO (CA, USA), 15 May 2011 – During the Monster Energy GP of USA
at Glen Helen Raceway, Youthstream and the FIM announced the
celebration of the Grand Prix of Mexico for the upcoming 2012 FIM
Motocross World Championship season. Former rider Mr. Sebastien
Tortelli and Mr. Nicolás España Serrano will be the promoters of the
third overseas GP of next season.

FIM vice-president Mr. Jorge
Viegas opened the press conference by welcoming everybody to the
Monster Energy Grand Prix of the USA and wishing everybody an excellent
weekend at Glen Helen Raceway.


Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream’s President, announced the agreement
they reached to organize a GP in Mexico in 2012. ‘We believe it is a
very good step for the FIM Motocross World Championship to have a GP in
Mexico, as it is a growing market and fits perfectly well in our
calendar. There will be three Grand Prix’s based in the American
continent and it would be possible either to go from USA to Mexico and
then Brazil or vice versa,’ Mr. Giusppe Luongo explained.


‘It will also be a great opportunity for us to work again with
Sebastien Tortelli after so many years and I hope to work together with
him with the same success as we had in the past,’ Mr. Giuseppe Luongo
concluded.


Mr. Sebastien Tortelli presented the Grand Prix of Mexico as the
promoter, together with Mr. Nicolás España. Mr. Tortelli explained that
last year they organized the ‘World Celebrities Race’ in Guadalajara,
South Mexico, where Stefan Everts raced, and they had a great success.
Regarding the next year’s GP he said: ‘the location of the GP is not
yet decided, we have some options in mind and in a few months we will
announce the final location of the race. It will probably be in the
south of Mexico and our goal is to go somewhere safe, with
international airports and possibly near the beach.’


Mr. Stephan Legrand was also present at the press conference, as he was
in charge of the media side when they organized the 'World Celebrities
Race' in Guadalajara last year. Mr. Legrand shared his experience
organizing such event and he said that there is a lot of interest in
Motocross racing in Mexico.


Dr. Wolfgang Srb, President of FIM/CMS, concluded: ‘It is very good
news to have Mexico in next year’s calendar and extend the number of
overseas Grand Prix of the FIM Motocross World Championship. We are all
looking forward to it.’
