| SEVEN DAYS A WEEK | 31.01.2012 |
|---|
That's how often you can now train at the Emmen championship sand track in northern Holland !

| MAXXIS 2012 | 22.01.2012 |
|---|
ACU Events have released the list of acceptances for the 2012 Maxxis. Barely a dozen GP riders will grace the series, but new or returning names include Kevin Strijbos, Shaun Simpson, Marc de Reuver, Nico Aubin and Sean Mitchell. There will be no qualification, but series manager Brian Higgins urges anyone not amongst the 40 names per class "to consider entering single rounds later in the year when spaces become available as a good haul of points over three races may make a difference for 2013".

|---|
You can't keep a good man down and, after the proposed deal with CLS Kawasaki to handle their MX2 logistics failed to come to fruition, Dutch long-time team owner Adri Van Beers has joined up with the TM factory and SKS to run their MX2 GP team with Italian Andrea Cervelin and Dutch teenager Nick Kouwenberg.

WMX world number three Larissa Papenmeier-Picoto and her worst half ;-) Victor, himself an international standard racer, have gone into business; the couple - they married last year - are now German importers for FreeGun underwear; they had a stand in the upper gallery in the Westfalenhalle over the weekend, plus a couple of models trotting round the public areas, and were also promoting Victor's www.split-designs.com logo design and printing business covering everything from butt patches to business cards.

| OFF-ROAD LIFE BEGINS AT 30 ? | 05.01.2012 |
|---|
Tom Church retired from outdoor motocross at the close of the 2011 season, but he has not been lost to dirt bike competition. 30 today - yes we know he doesn't look it - TC will stay with HM Plant KTM UK, with additional support from Fowlers of Bristol to team up with Aaron Poolman in an assault on the UK enduro scene. And, judging by his awesome battle with David Knight on the Weston beach a couple of months back, the regulars should not take the challenge too lightly !

BATTLE LINES DRAWN
The most top names will race in Valence ! | 20.12.2011 |
|---|
Just a matter of weeks after Mantova was able to announce the participation of Toni Cairoli and KTM factory team in the Starcross on February 19, Valence has hit back with a list of contracted riders which is certain to far outweigh the top names in Italy. Yamaha look poised to divide their forces, but Suzuki and those Kawasaki teams ready to race on the third weekend of February will be in Valence. MX2 rider have always tended to favour the French race, which offers separate races for MX1 and MX2, and a strong line-up of GP hopefuls should ensure a particularly close contest. Valence will be the season debut for Shaun Simpson, Jake Nicholls and Arnaud Tonus !

| MAX NAGL: "MY TARGET IS NOW VALKENSWAARD !" | 15.12.2011 |
|---|
Max Nagl goes back for further surgery on his back tomorrow and will now miss all of the pre-season races; the screws inserted in his back in the autumn will all have to be replaced after the pain became intolerable this week. "I've had pain, different pain to what I had before, ever since the operation but they told me that would be normal initially," explained the amiable 24 year old German this morning. "But since the beginning of the week the pain has increased and the screws will have to come out and new ones inserted in a different place."

| GEORGIA GOT HER MAN | 13.12.2011 |
|---|
Time was when it was gun-toting cowboys who got their man in mid-west USA, but yesterday it was MX-LIFE.TV presenter Georgia Lindsay who got her man when 2010 GP rider Jimmy Albertson popped the question ... and Georgie said "Yes". Sweet ;-)
