MAGGIORA BACK ON THE WORLD STAGE
.... nine year deal from 2013
| 05.02.2012 |
|---|
Youthstream have signed a nine year deal with Schava SRL to bring the classic Maggiora track in northern Italy back to the world motocross scene. The deal envisages an annual world event from 2013 on, with the track which saw the US whitewash the world in 1986 to host the Motocross des Nations again in 2016 and 2021.
"For us it's a dream come true," declared Youthstream president Giuseppe Luongo. "I have a special attachment to Maggiora because, aside from organising many major events there such as GPs and the Masters of Motocross, I was the organiser of the well-known MXoN in 1986 in Maggiora, which was won by the American Dream Team; this event is still considered the greatest MX event in history. At that time I was the organiser and promoter of the event together with the local club and FMI at only 26 years old."

| REVAMP FOR SCOTLAND | 01.02.2012 |
|---|
Scotland has provided world motocross with its fair share of top names in the last decade, and, as it approaches its centennial year, the Scottish ACU is taking steps to strengthen its role in developing yet more talent. As a central part of the plan three times champion Stuart Flockhart has been appointed to coordinate and refresh the national championship, established in 1955, five years before the English ACU got a similar series off the ground.

| ONE MONTH TO HERNING | 15.01.2012 |
|---|
It is just one month before the Herning SX on mainland Denmark rings down the curtain on the European indoor season. A solid mix of Scandinavian, mid-European and US SX specialists should ensure two nights of top grade action in one of the most modern halls in Europe with plenty of room for Freddy Verherstraeten to build a flowing track. Jack Brunell is already confirmed to repredent Britain.

THE KING'S NEW SHADES
... Mantis support Kyle Chisholm
| 12.01.2012 |
|---|
When Kyle Chisholm lifted the Bercy title from under the noses of factory-supported rivals in October, he didn't even have a set of forks to call his own, but deals are coming together for the 24 year old from Florida. He was signed up before Xmas for a complete SX and outdoor season with Jeff Ward Racing and has now joined Steven Frossard, Cedric Soubeyras and Marc de Reuver on the books of lifestyle accessory firm Mantis United. Last weekend Chizz started the AMA SX season with a 14th place at A1.

"Villopoto made us look silly out here tonight; I am just happy to get second place," admitted Chad Reed after finishing runner-up to defending champion Ryan Villopoto in the AMA SX opener at Anaheim. Ryan Dungey completed the podium despite a fall, and James Stewart, who won his qualifier, ended up 6th after also falling whilst battling the 2010 champion for third.

DOWNWARD SPIRAL FOR WMX
... as Steffi Laier quits the world series
| 05.01.2012 |
|---|
Youthstream have put WMX back on the programme at three GPs this year, but the series as a whole is doomed to obscurity as Steffi Laier, champion for the last three years, joins 2008 champion Livi Lancelot and world number three Larissa Papenmeier-Picoto in boycotting the rest of the series.
The 26 year old German explains on her own website www.steffilaier.com Click "More" to find out what she has to say.

| AN ELEVEN 10 ROCKET FOR MICHAEL LEIB | 26.12.2011 |
|---|
One of the most eagerly-awaited SX debuts at A1 will be that of Michael Leib, due to make his Stateside Pro debut after two seasons of intermittent racing in Europe. And the entire set-up is progressing at 11/10ths even on Boxing Day as Eleven 10 Mods step in to join Papa Don's Rocket Exhausts and On Track in support of the 20 year old from Menifee Lakes through the West Coast Lites and 250 Nationals in 2012.

| SUZUKI HEAD FOR SHROPSHIRE | 19.12.2011 |
|---|
The first big continental signings for the Hawkstone International on February 26 are Suzuki's MX1 factory duo of Clement Desalle and Tanel Leok as well as the new MX2 pairing of Harri Kullas and Petar Petrov; the Belgian-based quartet have chosen the UK season opener rather than the rival continental meetings at Montevarchi in Italy and Lacapelle Marival in France. Incidentally the Shropshire classic has a new name in 2012 - "Hawk International Motocross" - as Hawk Plant Hire have stepped forward as title sponsor.

| BUBBA GOES PIRELLI | 15.12.2011 |
|---|
Dunlop and Bridgestone have dominated the US off-road tyre market for decades, but Pirelli, who have done the same on the world stage, are making a decisive drive in the States in 2012 by signing up James Stewart and Joe Gibbs Yamaha teammate Davi Millsaps. And if they can keep "Bubba" on two wheels through the supercross season, the marketing potential is enormous !
