With the entries for the European Championship EMX250 and EMX125 round of Pietramurata, Italy now officially closed, Youthstream, the promoter of the European Series, has just announced that both classes are full. With a 100-rider limit, the EMX250 class has exceeded this number. All riders entered after the 100th entry was accepted will be reserve riders. Should one of the first 100 entries withdraw for any reason, the reserve riders will then automatically be entered.
Meanwhile the EMX125 has impressively received 95 entries, which along with the maxed out EMX250 class and extraordinary depth of talent in both classes, only attests that the European Championship is the ultimate development series for any aspiring professional motocross rider.
Full grid also for the Honda EMX 150 class, which will take its start in Pietramurata, too, but the entry list will be defined by Honda in the next days.
These results confirm the importance of the European Championship and the huge interest of the Federations, teams and riders in this series, which is the best way to prepare and move up to the World Championships MX2 and MXGP. We have made a statistic of the represented Countries.
“This is one of the most fruitful cooperations between FIM, FIM Europe and a promotional partner”, stated Dr Wolfgang Srb, FIM Europe President. “I am very happy that young riders can compete on the same weekend, on the same track, with the same rules and regulations and officials. There is no better way to get ready for the FIM Motocross World Championship. The riders are the winners, and so is the sport”.
