The Season restarts – Keep an eye on these guys!

World Motocross Championship is back on the scene. From March to September, 72 riders  from 35 Teams will move across 3 Continents to compete for the most prestigious off-road racing title. A new set of rules such as the 40 riders at the gate and the addition of the Veterans Class (starring Alex Puzar and Darryll King) will add character to this season where nine manufacturers will be involved (Aprilia, CCM, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, TM, Yamaha). In the MX1 class the spotlight will be on defending Pirelli rider Champion David Philippaerts, this year competing with 2008 MX2 players ,  the likes of Tony Cairoli  also entering the Class. In MX2, several young guns will now mount the stage for an exciting Championship.
