FUNCHAL (Portugal), 24 February 2015 - Due to the unstable political situation and financial difficulties the MXGP of Brazil's organizer, Romagnolli Promocoes e Eventos, informed us that they are not able to organize the 2015 MXGP of Brazil foreseen on the 16 August in Trindade.

Youthstream is currently in negotiations with CBM (Brazilian Motorcycle Federation) to organize the event at another venue in Brazil. After the CBM President's - Mr. Henrique Alves Firmo - declarations we are optimist that the MXGP of Brazil will go ahead, but in any case the event will be replaced.  

Evolutions will be announced shortly.

It’s back again this year. For the second year in a row, one of motocross’s most iconic labels in sports apparel and accessories, FOX, are sponsoring the holeshot award. The FOX Holeshot award will run across all eighteen rounds of the FIM Motocross MXGP and MX2 World Championships. The way it works is that 1 point is awarded per MXGP or MX2 championship pointed race holeshot, therefore qualifying races are not included.

A white line will be painted on the ground at the exit of the first corner and will be surrounded by GoPro camera’s for 100% certainty of the holeshot winner. He who crosses the line first, is awarded 1 point. At the end of the season, the rider with the most holeshot points will win the mega prize purse of €10,000 in MXGP and €5,000 in MX2.

The brand FOX first burst onto the scene in 1974 and since has elevated the demand for quality motocross and action sports gear and apparel. Through its heritage of championship winning athletes and innovative performance and lifestyle products, FOX has made name for itself as one of the most recognized and popular brands in the world and Youthstream is more than thrilled to have FOX supporting the holeshot award.

The eyes of the Motocross World turn towards Qatar this month as we prepare to turn the lights on for the hugely anticipated first round of the MXGP World Championship 2015.

The city of Doha is a spectacle as old and new collide and blend in a melting pot of experiences and sights where, since 2013, the MXGP of Qatar has held pride of place as the curtain raiser for the World Championship and situated just 25km outside of the city the world class Losail International Circuit has so far offered up spectacular opening action on both occasions.

FUNCHAL (Portugal), 17 February 2015 - The widely recognized Italian broadcasting service Mediaset has renewed their contract with Youthstream to broadcast the entire 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship on popular Italian television channels Italia1 and / or Italia2. New in 2015, both MXGP races will be broadcasted on Italia2 with the exception being that MXGP of Trentino and MXGP of Italy may be broadcasted on Italia1. In addition to the full season of MXGP action, the 2015 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations will be broadcast LIVE.

The first race of 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship, the MXGP of Qatar, will be broadcasted on Italia 2 on Saturday 28^th February at the following timing:

As an Italian based mass media company, Mediaset S.p.A is the largest commercial broadcaster in Italy. Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was the founder back in the 1970’s with his family’s holding company Fininvest still holding 38.6% of the company shares.

Mediaset’s head office is in Milan where most of its studios can also be found. Although Milan provides a lot of the action for the company, it also has a further three big television production centers in Segrate, Cologno Monzese and Rome.

A great majority of MXGP fans come from Italy with the nation being home to one of the greatest motocross riders of all time, Antonio Cairoli, who will be going for his ninth FIM Motocross World Championship crown this year. With Mediaset agreeing to broadcast the entire championship for yet another year, Italian fans will be thrilled to know they can support their heroes from the comfort of their own home.

FUNCHAL (Portugal), 17 February 2015 - Entering into its second year of close partnership with North American Sport TV broadcaster CBS Sports Network, the FIM World Motocross Championship (MXGP) will benefit in 2015 of an even stronger programming schedule in USA and Canada.

For the MXGP series kicking off on the soil of Qatar on February 28^th, CBS Sport Network, an acclaimed US-based authority for Sport on Television, will secure solid exposure, based on a same-day delayed broadcast for the entire season, with the last round of the year, the Monster Energy MXGP of USA, to go Live for both the MXGP and MX2 classes.

As the FIM MXGP series keeps building successful following within the North American audience, compared to last year, in 2015 its TV broadcast-times will be significantly closer to race-times for most of the championship.

The MXGP, the class that this year attracted Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team’s Ryan Villopoto, arguably the best American motocross rider of this era, will receive particular programming attention in USA and Canada for first ever Villopoto’s hunt of a world motocross title.
