This will be the first big event after many years at the race track Holice.    ABOUT HOLICE Holice is a town in a Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. The town was first mentioned in 1336. It obtained the town status in the 15th century. It is the industrial-agricultural town, that has a place of municipal authority, small business and employment center. Neighborhood Ředického Pond is a protected ornithological site. The town of Holice was mainly known by its native - Dr.Emil Holub, who was one of the first Europeans exploring and mapping the Black Continent od Africa.   The first race on Poběžovice Racetrack was held in 1951. That year is the beginning of the motocross history not only of Holice, but also of Czech and world motocross. The original organizer - ZO Svazarm was transformed into public organization AMK Holice in the beginning of the 90's. The track with its capacity, profile, width and length lets shine not only professional riders participating in famous races but also amateurs on their own personal battles.     ABOUT THE RACE   French Team MB rider Julien Vanni (Honda) is still the leader of the MX3 World Championship Classification but last two events were not too successful for him. Pierre Alexandre Renet (Suzuki) and Alex Salvini (Husqvarna) are becoming more and more dangerous for his leading position, as they are riding more constantly. Alex Salvini, the winner of the last MX3 event could get some useful informations from his team manager Andrea Bartolini, who clinched his first World Championship victory right here at Holice, in 1990. Also Finnish rider Antti Pyrhonen (Honda) is more self confident after he took the podium in Chile. The attraction of the race will be Chilean rider Pablo Quintanila, who will be the first Chilean rider participating at the MX3 World Championship event in Europe.       EMX2 riders will be back after one month break. Christophe Charlier (France) from the Team Yamaha Gariboldi Racing is coming to Czech Republic as the current Championship leader, with six points of advantage in front of Jeffrey Herlings from the team JM Racing. They had the explosive beginning of the season 2009. After the round in Portugal the season has started to develop in the interesting way. Charlier was defeated for the first time and the motivation of other riders which want to be on the top has grown.       ENTRY LIST MX3   3 Christophe MARTIN, Husqvarna (France) 5 Alvaro Rico LOZANO, Yamaha (Spain) 6 Martin ZERAVA, Honda (Czech Republic) 7 Saso KRAGELJ, Yamaha (Slovenia) 9 Nicolai Marcher HANSEN, Suzuki (Denmark) 15 Pierre Alexandre RENET, Suzuki (France) 17 Jan ZAREMBA, KTM (Czech Republic) 19 Radek BOHUSLAV, Yamaha (Slovakia) 21 Patrick ROOS, KTM (Netherlands) 22 Gregory EIXHT, Honda (Switzerland) 23 Alex SALVINI, Husqvarna (Italy) 24 Vojtech BRUMLA, Kawasaki (Czech Republic) 25 Yentel MARTENS, KTM (Belgium) 27 Sergey ASTAYKIN, KTM (Russia) 31 Kasper JENSEN, Honda (Denmark) 32 Tommi MAKINEN, Honda (Finland) 38 Tiku ROUHIAINEN, Yamaha (Finland) 47 Roy GIJSEL, Kawasaki (Netherlands) 48 Amdreas SCHMIDINGER, Honda (Austria) 52 Julien BURI, Honda (Switzerland) 53 Janos BORKA, Kawasaki (Hungary) 64 Alexandr IVANUTIN, Yamaha (Russia) 65 Julien VANNI, Honda (France) 74 Petr BARTOS, Honda (Czech Republic) 75 Frederic SANDOULY, Honda (France) 76 Petr MASARIK, Honda (Czech Republic) 78 Jiri CEPELAK, Yamaha (Czech Republic) 79 Zdenek KOSTELECKY, Yamaha (Czech Republic) 81 Nikolay KUMANOV, Honda (Bulgaria) 87 Jonathan BURN, Yamaha (Switzerland) 99 Tomas BUCENEC, KTM (Slovakia) 105 Arturs LICITIS, KTM (Latvia) 115 Michael STAUFER, KTM (Austria) 139 Pablo QUINTANILLA, Honda (Chile) 171 Marko KOVALAINEN, KTM (Finland) 181 Michal KADLECEK, TM (Czech Republic) 213 Antti PYRHONEN, Honda (Finland) 241 Philip RUF, Suzuki (Austria) 244 Peter REDFORD, Suzuki (Great Britain) 289 Matevz IRT, Honda (Slovenia) 421 Lauri LOKOTAR, Kawasaki (Estonia) 747 Hugo Basaula, Suzuki (Portugal) 854 Yann PIQUET, Yamaha (France)       ENTRY LIST EMX2   9 Kenny VANDUEREN, KTM (Belgium) 10 Herjan BRAKKE, Honda (Netherlands) 15 Axel ALLETRU, KTM (France) 18 Giuseppe DI PALMA, Husqvarna (Italy) 20 Frantisek SMOLA, Suzuki (Czech Republic) 21 Milko POTISEK, Yamaha (France) 23 Cristian OLIVA GALERA, Yamaha (Spain) 24 Pascal RAUCHENECKER, KTM (Austria) 25 Rudy MORONI, Yamaha (Italy) 26 Stuwey REIJNDER, Suzuki (Netherlands) 28 Roberto LOMBRICI, Yamaha (Italy) 33 Eric LEIJTENS, KTM (Netherlands) 34 Adri VANDERSANDEN, Honda (Belgium) 39 Gabor FIRTOSVARI, Kawasaki (Hungary) 42 Marek SUKUOM, Suzuki (Czech Republic) 45 Alexander ERIKSSON, Suzuki (Sweden) 49 Gunter SCHMIDINGER, Honda (Austria) 52 Matthias WALKNER, KTM (Austria) 55 Mike KRAS, Kawasaki (Netherlands) 56 Michael SPACEK, Kawasaki (Czech Republic) 61 Jeremy RENKENS, Yamaha (Belgium) 62 Klemen GERCAR, Yamaha (Slovenia) 66 Alain SCHAFER, Honda (Switzerland) 67 Petr MICHALEC, Honda (Czech Republic) 68 Anders PETTERSSON, KTM (Sweden) 73 Pier Filippo BERTUZZO, Suzuki (Italy) 74 Ardo KAURIT, KTM (Estonia) 77 Alessandro D'ANGELO, Honda (Italy) 79 Sergey LEBEDEV, Yamaha (Russia) 81 Sean Rowen MITCHELL (Zimbabve) 84 Jeffrey HERLINGS, KTM (Netherlands) 86 Giacomo REDONDI, Suzuki (Italy) 89 Evgeny MICHAILOV, KTM (Russia) 90 Jordi PAEZ, Yamaha (Netherlands) 91 Filip THURESSON, Suzuki (Sweden) 92 Jaromir ROMANCIK, KTM (Czech Republic) 93 Charles Antoine ALLEGRA, Suzuki (Belgium) 94 Donny BASTEMEIJER, KTM (Netherlands) 98 Glenn COLDENHOFF, Suzuki (Netherlands) 105 Martin KOHUT, KTM (Slovakia) 121 Michael VOTROUBEK (Czech Republic) 141 Andrea CERVELLIN, Husqvarna (Italy) 144 Sacha NAUDE, Honda (Republic of South Africa) 151 Harri KULLAS, KTM (Finland) 152 Petar PETROV, Yamaha (Bulgaria) 181 Yerki JANVIER, Yamaha (Belgium) 214 Samuel ZENI, Yamaha (Italy) 233 Cedric LIEBER, KTM (Belgium) 261 Jeremy DELINCE, KTM (Belgium) 262 Giacomo DEL SEGATO, Honda (Italy) 310 Aleksandr TONKOV, Suzuki (Russia) 430 Christophe CHARLIER, Yamaha (France) 818 Marco SCHOGLER, KTM (Austria) 824 Nick KOUWENBERG, KTM (Netherlands) 837 Alessandro BATTIG, Honda (Italy)       LINKS   Youthstream     FIM   UEM   Automotoklub Holice     Information, photos and results are online at http://www.MotocrossMX1.com, the official website of the FIM Motocross Championships.   Freecaster.tv is the prime source of LIVE and On-Demand coverage for action sports on the Internet.
