I thank CMS President Mr. Wolfgang Srb for the great job he has done and the support he has given to AGI to enable GP motocross to go ahead. No, I do not agree. The 250cc class is the category that has gathered the most worldwide media coverage and interest during the past few years. I would like to remind you of the riders names which helped animate the class. These riders are currently the best of the world.
Riders go away and come back.
The interest from sponsors and media, and the overall development of the Grand Prix motocross circuit in the last few years has been significant. It proves that although some riders have left for America, the overall development of World Championship motocross has not really suffered. No, on the contrary. The riders who go to the USA have top results there. This shows that the level of competition in Europe is higher.
