The FIM has released the 2005 Motocross and Supermoto calendars as the 122nd Congress of the FIM concluded yesterday in Paris.
The world MX1 and MX2 calendars take on a new look with a new event in Japan and another overseas jaunt to South Africa.
In a sad move the traditional Grand Prix at Namur, Belgium has been dropped.
With 17 rounds in 2005, England, Belgium, and Germany will get two rounds each, whilst the Motocross of Nations, gets an earlier date with the move from October to late September.
