«FIM-Europe and the KNMV regret to inform all riders entered for the final round of the EMX65/85 North West zone round which also is the final round of the European Women’s MX championship this coming weekend in Markelo, is cancelled», states Eddie Herd, Chairman of FIM Europe Motocross and Snowcross Commission.
«This is due to a “code red” being issued by the fire authorities on a large area around this part of The Netherlands because of the very dry and hot weather. The KNMV tried to find a replacement venue at short notice but the “code red” covers a large area.
This means that the NW zone standings after Sverepec are now complete and invitations to compete in Loket will now be sent out by Youthstream to all top 10 riders from the 4 zones.
This cancellation also applies to the European MX Women’s championship riders and therefore the championship standings after Strykow are now considered to be the final results. A suitable medal ceremony is now being considered for this class and further details will be released as soon as possible», concluded Mr Eddie Herd.
