It is finished, but just for a week. Today Motocross put an end to its last of three races in a row: it was a complete success in terms of public, with Matterley Basin hosting 39,000 spectators. It was a success also on the race track, which was actually built in a very short time but was demanding enough to offer two excellent races.

After Saturday's bad weather cancelling the Qualifying session, on Sunday made up for it and Kadlecek clocked the pole ahead of top riders Breugelmans and Demaria.

The UFO Grand Prix of Italy was a perfect combination of MX races and wonderful weather, with sunshine for the whole day. It was actually a perfect weekend, attracting something like 26 thousand spectators to the Miravalle circuit of Montevarchi.

In race 1 Demaria won ahead of current World Champion Breugelmans, second. Behind the two KTM riders there was Italian Oddenino in third and countryman Beggi was fourth, both with Honda. Top five ended with Ristori, Swiss rider on Honda.

Yesterday rain started right after riders ended their sessions on track but it is not the same today. It is ok in the morning but in the first race of MX1 the weather changes and the day gets quite hard.

The Grand Prix of Japan has been successfull for Yamaha, who collected the GP win in each class with Billy Mackenzie and Stefan Everts.

Frenchman Christophe Pourcel won in Teutschenthal the first Grand Prix of his young career with a double win in the MX2 class, while Stefan Everts got his 91th win. New Zealander Katherine Prumm won the first round of the FIM Women’s World Cup during a successful Grand Prix of Germany, followed by a huge crowd under perfect conditions in Teutschenthal for a sunny event (27°C).

Being off the track since the first GP, I feel it is time for me to step up and inform you all on my current situation and what my close future looks like.

Sebastien Tortelli faces a two month pause after his serious fall during the MX1-Grand Prix in Portugal. But despite his injury, the factory rider has still expressed confidence after the first world championship race and is looking forward to his comeback.

Yves Demaria claimed his third consecutive win in the third round of the MX3 World Championship, in Cingoli (Motoclub A. Fagioli). On a typical Italian track, really demanding for the tyres the Frenchman got the overall win with a third and a first place, beating Swiss Marc Ristori and Italian Enrico Oddenino. Sven Breugelmans took bad starts and ended the second moto with a “slick” tyre, finishing both races in fifth position. Demaria is leading the series by 26 points over his teammate who is now tight in the points with Oddenino and Ristori.
