Roll on round 10 in Maggiora!

With already seven rounds of MXGP done and dusted, one of the most worshipped rounds of MXGP is fast approaching. MXGP of Italy, home of the seven-time FIM Motocross World Champion Antonio Cairoli, will take place in Maggiora as round ten of the FIM Motocross World Championship on the weekend of June 15.

After being voted best organizer in 2013, the club in Maggiora has signed on to host a round of MXGP right through to 2020 with the pinnacle being the FIM Motocross of Nations which is set to take place in 2016, exactly 30 years after the ground breaking FIM Motocross of Nations in Maggiora back in 1986.

At the circuit, which is also recognized as “Mottaccio del Balmone”, preparation has already begun with several projects already in progress. Excavators are widening some areas of the track, as well as including some new obstacles. The public area will be staggered to allow better vision of the racing for more spectators and roads that lead to the track will be more efficient with an added 3 meters of width on the main road in. Along with these things, new lighting systems will be put in place in the restaurant area and food and beverage services will be handled internally.

Last year, Maggiora’s round of the FIM Motocross World Championship drew in a massive 38,000 spectators, 1000 VIP guests, 157 media representatives, 10,000 cars, 1000 campers and 8 hours of LIVE TV coverage, making it one of the most successful rounds of that year. The club in Maggiora would like to say a big thanks to “SCHAVA S.R.L”, Paolo Schneider and Stefano Avandero, and we look forward to seeing you back again this year to enjoy round 10 of the FIM Motocross World Championship featuring MXGP, MX2, EMX250 and EMX300 racing at our cutting edge motocross park in Maggiora, Italy.
