We are only a month out from the first rounds of the European Motocross Championships, which will take place at MXGP of Trentino in Pietramurata, Italy on the weekend of April 19th, and record-breaking numbers of entries has already been registered by the promoter Youthstream.
While they are still taking entries for the European Motocross Championship, which will close tomorrow, March 20th, in the EMX250 class Youthstream has already received over one hundred entries for the rounds in Pietramurata, Italy and Valkenswaard, The Netherlands. The EMX125 class has already received more than eighty and the EMX300, as predicted, has doubled since last year. In Pietramurata the Honda EMX150 championship will take its start, too, with full grid as well.
With the European Championship becoming a fundamental series for any aspiring motocross rider, Youthstream stated to be proud of the stepping-stone that has been created with entries in the FIM Motocross World Championship also reflecting the success of the project.
The huge number of the entries is confirmation that the European Championship is the best amateur series in the world.
«I am very happy about the biggest number of entries in the history of the European Motocross Championship, being the stepping stone to the FIM Motocross World Championship», comments Dr Wolfgang Srb, FIM Europe President. «The outstanding interest of Federations, teams and riders shows that the concept of combined race weekends – European as well as World Championship on the same track with the same rules and officials – works very well».
