Elected President of FIM Asia, Mr. Stephan Carapiet, was in Geneva for the FIM Spring meeting which ended on Sunday, February 28, during the meeting he met with Dr. Wolfgang Srb, FIM/CMS President, and Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream President, to discuss Motocross and SuperMoto developments in Asia.
Discussions were very positive and a Grand Prix in Asia can be expected in 2011. Youthstream will support the Asian Motocross Championship as it already does with the European Championship.
Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, Youthstream President, stated: ‰ÛÏWe are delighted about this close cooperation with FIM Asia, the present and future markets are there and they have the best motorcycle market in the world with a growing economy.
‰ÛÏWe hope that with this partnership we will see more Grand Prix events in Asia and we also hope to improve the level of the Asian riders and see more and more Asian riders participating in the FIM Motocross World Championship. We would like to thank Mr. Carapiet and we are confident our partnership will be very successful.‰Û
