WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MOTOCROSS TEAM

2O15 PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

THE TEAM Wilvo Forkrent KTM is one of Europe’s leading motocross teams, which from a modest starting point in 2008, has grown year on year to become one of the go-to teams in the paddock for riders and personnel alike.

Having originally been formed to compete in domestic championships, the team made the move onto the world stage in 2012. In 2013 the team took the decision to move the workshop from its base in the north of England to a new purpose built facility in Holland, improving the team’s logistical capabilities substantially.

For 2015 the team will contest the FIM MXGP World Championship, the FIM European 250 Championship and the ACU MX1 & MX2 British Championship.

The team’s ambitious target for the 2015 season will be to finish in the top five in the MXGP World Championship, win the European 250 Championship and win both classes in the British Championship.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MOTOCROSS The FIM World Championship represents the pinnacle of off-road motorcycle racing, offering a unique combination of excitement, glamour & pure action.

With series promoter, Youthstream continually improving the spectator experience and expanding the series to take in countries such as Qatar & Thailand the fanbase continues to show continuous growth.

The 2015 World Championship will see 30 riders in each of the MX1 & MX2 classes battling for supremacy over 18 rounds at circuits across the world.
