LIEROP (The Netherlands), 30 August 2012 – After the MXGP Festival two weeks ago, the FIM Motocross World Championship reaches the last part of the season and it travels to Lierop, The Netherlands, to celebrate the fourteenth out of sixteen Grand Prix of the 2012 season.

FUNCHAL (Portugal), 29 August 2012 – Twin Air has been the choice of the champions for many years and a clear proof of that is its 40th anniversary and the loyalty the greatest personalities of the sport still have towards the brand. Twin Air has significantly contributed in the development of the sport introducing the revolutionary and efficiency foam air filters and its accessories, and nowadays they are still the first choice due to the constant evolution of their product.

The Lierop circuit in the south of Holland has seen many great races in its somewhat short history. I remember my first visit to Lierop some 16 years ago in 1996. It was the day Dutchman Leon Giesbers took home the 500cc Grand Prix ahead of Joel Smets.

Back in 1993 Dutchman Pedro Tragter won Holland its last FIM World Motocross Championship when he finished 49 points ahead of Frenchman Yves Demaria. Third place in that Championship went to another Dutchman, Dave Strijbos.
