from AMA Pro Racing:
PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Feb. 10, 2005) -- AMA Pro Racing announced today that a 250cc class will be added to the 2005 Supermoto championship season. The Supermoto class (450cc), Supermoto Unlimited (490cc +) and Honda Red Riders Junior Supermoto Challenge will remain part of the program and be joined by the new class, specifically for 250cc, four-stroke machines.
In making the announcement, Kerry Graeber, AMA Pro Racing Vice President, Director of Communications said that the decision was made partly in response to the large number of requests to add the class. “We have heard a tremendous amount of feedback suggesting that we include 250s,” said Graeber. “We want to be responsive to this demand while recognizing the equity that has been built up in the Supermoto and Supermoto Unlimited classes, so we will run all three, plus the Junior program, in 2005. Beyond 2005 we’ll have to assess what the market demand and equipment availability is for each class.”

Youthstream is delighted to announce it's partnership with DBO Organization of Mr. Danilo Boccadolce for the SuperMoto World Championship event in Italy. This is an important step forward in the promotion of the FIM SuperMoto World Championship because DBO Organization has already proven it's great experience and high level of organization in SuperMoto. The contract is for a duration of 3 years and 3 FIM SuperMoto Grand Prix are previewed in Italy (the Grand Prix of Italy, the Grand Prix of Europe and the Grand Prix of the Mediterranean). Italy is one of the most important territories for motorsport.... the majority of the accessory and clothing factories and some motorcycle factories are there.... the majority of teams and sponsors are also there and for these reasons, Youthstream gives in particular attention to Italy, and Youthstream together with the Italian Motorcycle Federation and DBO want to use Italy as a trampoline to launch the SuperMoto very high in the sky and create a following of other countries.
