MX3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND EURO 125 KICK-OFF THIS WEEKEND
28 March 2006 - KTM-Sportmotorcycles AG

Busy weekend for the Motocross fans! After a long break since the exciting 2005 Motocross of Nations in Ernée, the first weekend of April will see a lot of riders in action.

Zolder (Belgium) will met the opening round of the MX1-MX2 World Championship, while the MX3 World Championship and 125 European Championship will kick-off in Castelnau de Lévis (France).

Same date, same place than last year for this MX3-Euro 125 opening round, first one of the longest MX3 series with fourteen rounds in the calendar. Reigning World Champion Sven Breugelmans and team-mate Yves Demaria will be the favourites of the GP and the series on their factory KTM, but some of the other fifty-seven riders involved in this GP will never give-up and start the season with high goals. They all remind that last year surprising German Marco Dorsch and French Julien Vanni won the two motos, and that there was no orange bike on the final podium of the event !

Now considered as a real stage before the MX2 World Championship, the 125 European opening round registered ninety-three entries, representing fourteen countries. The series will count ten rounds this season, and 2005 vice-champion Dennis Verbruggen (Yamaha) is the main favourite. With his great experience the Belgian rider was already last year the main opponent to Jeremy Tarroux, who is now involved in the MX2 World Championship.
