Cairoli and Philippaerts to race Red Bull FIM MXoN

FERMO (ITALY), 11 September 2010 –
A meeting in between Youthstream President Giuseppe Luongo, FIM/CMS
President Dr. Wolfgang Srb, FIM Sports Director Ignacio Verneda, FMI
President Paolo Sesti, FMI Marketing Director Alfredo Mastropasqua, FMI
Secretary General Alberto Rinaldelli, KTM Motorsport Consultant Winfried
Kerschhaggl, KTM Off Road Motorsports Director Pit Beirer, Yamaha Europe
Representative Michele Rinaldi ended with the FMI’s decision of lining up
Antonio Cairoli and David Philippaerts at the Red Bull FIM Motocross of
Nations with Alessandro Lupino completing the Team.


The Italian Motorcycling Federation (FMI) had chosen the team’s line up and
the “Maglia Azzurra” jersey layout following the principles of the FIM
Regulations and of the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) regulations, and
considering the fact that it is the Federation choosing the riders
participating in the event.


Yesterday’s Motocross Grand Prix commission meeting laid the base for a
future regulation ruling the Motocross of Nations jersey layout which
includes the following points:


-the upper half of the jersey will feature the Federations’ logos

-the lower half of the jersey will feature the Teams’ and Riders’ logos

-the sleeves will feature the Teams’ and Riders’ logos

-the back will feature the Riders’ name and number

-the jersey colour will be decided by the Federation


Taking into account also this future rule as well as KTM’s and Yamaha
Europe’s cooperation into the Youth Program of the FMI, the latter could
finally confirm that Tony Cairoli and David Philippaerts will race the Red
Bull FIM Motocross of Nations at Denver, USA, on the September 26 weekend
with MX2’s Alessandro Lupino completing the team. The decision was very
much welcomed by all parties involved in the meeting as the FMI would like
to extend their gratitude to the riders who had been previously called up,
Manuel Monni and Davide Guarneri, who will be part of the Maglia Azzurra
group heading to Denver in two weeks time.
