Youthstream’s President, Mr. Giuseppe Luongo, stated: “I would like to thank Red Bull for believing in the potential of Motocross and for associating their brand with our sport. We believe that with Red Bull, the FIM Motocross World Championship will continue to grow, become more professional and attract more and more fans.”
