Youthstream will realize these improvements from next year:
A) Increase the number of overseas events, starting with USA and then with other important motorcycle markets.
B) 40 riders to enter and start in each class, MX1 and MX2.
In order to stabilize the MX1 and MX2, the factory and semi-private teams will have a guaranteed participation in the FIM Motocross World Championship of at least two riders per class.
In MX1 and MX2, all 40 riders will take part in the GP (2 x free practice + 1 race of 20 min + 2 laps on Saturday for the starting positions on Sunday. Sunday will remain with 2 races of 35 minutes plus 2 laps for each class).
Youthstream will enter 38 riders per class (MX1 and MX2) and the FMNR will enter a maximum of 2 riders per class. Teams/manufacturers can propose to Youthstream a maximum of 24 riders in MX1 as well as in MX2. The remaining riders will be selected directly by Youthstream as wild card riders.
C) Youthstream will improve the TV production with a live camera on-board and also the world wide distribution in markets where we are not already present.
D) Youthstream will install personalized manufacturer double floored pit-lane boxes. This will provide teams with a professional structure, very clean and visible to public and television where engineers and mechanics can freely work on the ground floor, and an upper floor for sponsors, VIP guests, etc so they can be part of the action without interfering with the teams’ work and to increase the value of the teams’ sponsors.
E) Youthstream will install personalized bike washing areas for each manufacturer to allow mechanics to work cleanly and to not have to wait in line to wash the bikes and this will provide more visibility to the teams.
F) Youthstream will film and edit a four minute programme on each officially entered MX1 and MX2 team and these programmes will be inserted into the FIM Motocross World Championship highlight programmes of each Grand Prix.
G) At the end of the season Youthstream will supply to each officially entered team a 15 minute DVD of the best images for free of rights.
H) Youthstream will improve the sport and technical staff to guarantee better services in the paddock such as better performing and cleaner sanitary services, better security controls on the ‘hot-spots’ (such as pit-lane and waiting-zone) and professional blue flag marshals on the race track.
I) Youthstream will continue to develop and to professionalize the FIM Motocross World Championship without touching the soul of our sport. We will continue with two races per class, we want to have fans as near as possible to the show and close to riders, we want to keep the popular festive spirit and we want to increase the show and activities on the Saturday to permit fans to enjoy also this day and for this reason we have included the Women’s and Veterans’ first race and the MX1 and MX2 grid position races on the Saturdays’ programme. The secret of our success is finding the right balance between the professional, the amateur and the fans.
J) Following a meeting between Youthstream and the media, the media confirmed their contentment with Youthstream for the improvements made to the media infrastructure and the general organization of the FIM Motocross World Championship. After the already significant evolution and with the continuous growing number of media present, together we found an agreement on the following developments as of 2009:
a. ADSL lines will become more powerful.
b. As there are now more than 250 journalists present at every Grand Prix, the press room will be made bigger.
c. A reserved area in the press room will be created for the permanent journalists who follow all the World Championship.
d. Security control will be tougher on the hot-spots, such as the press room, the podium and pit lane area, and less media passes will be issued.
e. The passage around the race track will be made wider and more gates will be in place to facilitate the photographers’ work and allow them to easily pass from one side to the other.
K) After the important evolution of the FIM Motocross World Championship MX1/MX2, the FIM MX3 World Championship and the EMX2 European Championship, Youthstream has decided to bring more infrastructure and television coverage to the MX3 and EMX2. From 2009 there will be a highlight television programme of 26 minutes of each MX3/EMX2 event broadcasted worldwide on the television channels currently partners of Youthstream. This programme will be broadcast one week after each event separately from the MX1/MX2 programmes. The programme will be divided into equal time for the MX3 and for the EMX2, and on top of the practise and race highlights the programme will also include a big part dedicated to the teams and riders. Organizers will benefit from a one minute postcard with fine images and promotion on their infrastructure. Youthstream will install a permanent press officer, photographer and paddock manager, and we will install a personalized pit-lane with 20 separate tents (two riders each) each with a live-timing screen. In fact from next year a staff of eight Youthstream people will be present at every event in order to increase the quality and standards of these Championships.
