Oss Unveiled to the Media Ahead of Dutch Grand Prix!

The host of this year’s MXGP of the Netherlands, Oss, held a special media day to promote the new venue on the 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship calendar!

The track of ‘’de Witte Ruysheuvel’’ at Oss will host the Dutch Grand Prix this season on the 17th and 18th of July. Ahead of its historic return to the FIM Motocross World Championship, a special press conference day was held to promote the event and to unveil its partners.

Many media outlets attended the event, including major media operators such as NOS, Telegraaf and Red Bull TV.  They were treated to the plans for the event and some riding displays by, the Dutch riders including Kay De Wolf and Jeffrey Herlings, among others.

Organiser Ebert Dollevoet of Top Events gave an enthusiastic speech, outlining his ideas to organise the Dutch GP in a refreshing way. Dollevoet had the vision of combining the motocross event with an entertainment spectacle, where several top Dutch artists will be performing on various stages.

Jeffrey Herlings also elaborated on the plans for the race and made himself available for an extensive Q&A session with the media, and this generated huge media exposure. Herlings has won 14 Dutch GP's throughout his career and will be aiming to make it 15 this year, to continue to build upon his existing record that no other Dutch rider in history has done before.

After all was said and done, the time came for some track time. Herlings donned his kit for a few fast laps, and also top Dutch talents such as Kay de Wolf, Kay Karssemakers, Kjell Verbruggen and Micha Boy De Waal grasped the opportunity of demonstrating their skills on the circuit. An extended riding session was provided for, allowing the journalists ample opportunity of getting enough photos.

Infront Moto Racing is excited to make Oss an addition to the MXGP racing calendar and are looking forward to a fantastic race weekend on the 17th and 18th of July.

Multi FIM MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez was the first ambassador to be appointed when the programme began back in 2012. Since then further ambassadors have been added to the programme who represent different genders and cultures, motorcycling disciplines and geographical areas, this diverse team of top riders lend their voices to convey the FIM’s sustainability policy and help to safeguard the future of the sport.

Jeremy Seewer who has been participating professionally since 2011 and has achieved important results in the FIM Motocross World Championship since the junior categories has the worthy values and class to join the Ride Green team in this important mission, which puts top athletes at the service of humanity and the future generations. Along with the other FIM Ride Green Ambassadors, Jeremy has been invited by the FIM to be a leader and play a major role in the contribution made by our sport to achieve a more sustainable World.

Jeremy, who also plays the piano and can be found playing Mozart or Chopin before and after his training sessions, is fully aware of the responsibility that a rider of his stature has to promote better practices in the sport and champion for a sustainable sport. Hence he is ready to accept his mission as a FIM Ride Green Ambassador, which will include:  Representing the FIM in environmental activities; Supporting the campaign through social media; Be the FIM Voice for the Ride Green Campaign.

Jeremy recognises that the riders have a responsibility to contribute in campaigns such as Ride Green and recognises the voices of the Ambassadors are a powerful force that can captivate millions of fans. Sport represents a very valuable vehicle for the shift in mindsets - with small changes that are simple to adopt, but represent a major contribution to the crisis and to mitigating climate change.

Speaking about his new role Jeremy Seewer explained “I am pleased to have been appointed as an FIM Environmental Ambassador. It is an honour to be part of this select group of riders from all disciplines who have a great track record of social responsibility. As influencers and as professional riders we have the responsibility to set an example and to contribute to conserving our land, our planet. Because we are all users, and we must respect our resources in order to give future generations the opportunity to enjoy sport.  If we achieve a sustainable sport, we will be able to preserve our circuits and provide the opportunity for our young riders to enjoy it just as we do.”

Katia Juarez, Director of the FIM International Sustainability Commission added her comment: “Today we are very proud to welcome Jeremy Seewer. We have been following Jeremy's career for many years, and with my colleagues we are sure that he will be a great representative of the FIM environmental ambassador team.  Jeremy is a very kind person with great values. We love to see him enjoy the magic of music and we consider that his strength as a racer mixed with his sensitivity as an artist will be a perfect amalgamation to represent our team of ambassadors. Thanks to Jeremy’s influence and popularity we can expect to see still more inspiration amongst our fans!”

David Luongo – Editorial – May 2021

Dear MXGP Friends,

In less than a month's time, we will be landing in Orlyonok, Russia, for the first MXGP round of the 2021 season. All the top riders are finalising their preparation to be ready on the 13th of June! We are very enthusiastic to get closer to this moment after such a long winter break.

I would like to specially thank the Organiser of the MXGP of Russia and the president of the Motorcycling Federation of Russia, Mr.Alexander Dzheus for his great support in such a challenging time and for making this Grand Prix happen. As promotor of the world’s most popular off-road championship on two wheels, we can always count on fantastic and very passionate organisers all around the world. This year will be no exception!

The comeback of two very special venues on the 2021 calendar is also very appreciated. Matterley Basin (UK) and Maggiora (Italy). Thanks to two very passionate men and their teams, Steve Dixon in the UK and Stefano Avandero for the Italian circuit. They put all their energy to make both events possible. Those venues are in the heart of all the Motocross fans for years and we are very happy to have them onboard again.

Weeks after weeks we see the Covid-19 situation improving. Some governments are talking already about opening professional sport events to limited amount of public. Motocross will benefit from the fact it is an open-air event regarding those decisions! There will be more and more possibilities with the acceleration of the vaccination campaigns. We are in contact with all the federations and governments where a Grand Prix will take place and are doing our best to allow public at the event. We cannot wait to host you again during the Grand Prix weekend!

While we will be waiting for the majority of the paddock to be vaccinated, we will continue to put in place a strict sanitary protocol in order to protect the different stakeholders of the championship.

Finally, I would like to thank the FIM, the FIM Europe and all the partners of MXGP for their support to our favorite sport!

Don’t forget that you can follow the whole MXGP season on MXGP-TV.com!

See you in Russia!

David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing
