By GlobalDataIvo Martini Bristot, sales manager at Galfer, has said: “The decision to become an official sponsor of the Motocross World Championship and Motocross of Nations, as well as the Enduro and Trial World Championships, is more than just a strategic choice for Galfer.
“It confirms Galfer’s commitment and constant investment in the world of competition, where it has supported the research and development of products with ever-increasing performance, capable of satisfying the needs of both top riders and keen enthusiasts.”
David Luongo, chief executive of Infront Moto Racing, added: “This new partnership is confirming the trend of popularity of the MXGP World Championship in the Spanish market and its attraction as a global platform for the development of the Motorsport industry. We are sure that this partnership will bring both of our groups to new heights.”
Earlier this week, it was announced that Eurovision Services, the media services arm of the European Broadcasting Union, had extended its distribution agreement for properties organised by Infront Moto Racing, including MXGP, until 2024.
The partnership between the two organisations dates back to 1997, with the Infront Moto Racing name having been taken on last year after Infront, the international sports marketing agency, acquired the property as Youthstream in January 2019.
The deal means Eurovision Services will continue to manage the transmission of motocross events promoted by Infront Moto Racing, which include the FIM Motocross World Championship, the FIM Motocross of Nations, the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship, the FIM Veteran’s Motocross World Cup, the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship, the FIM Snowcross World Championship, the FIM Europe Motocross Championship and the Motocross of European Nations.
