CHAMPIONNAT Du MONDE De MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONNAT du MONDE de MOTOCROSS 500 12 GP Fait marquant : Cette année, la catégorie-reine était plus que jamais la catégorie-reine ! Avant tout parce que 1e les monstres sacrés que furent Heikki MIKKOLA et Roger DE COSTER ont laissé pour une fois la vraie lutte s'instaurer. Finalement ce sont 6 pilotes qui se sont partagés les 12 GP. Cette lutte a vu finalement triompher un jeune britannique de 22 ans, Graham NOYCE. Il a pris la tête du Championnat dès le 4è GP en Italie pour ne plus la quitter et être titré un GP avant la fin. Les réussites : En plus de Graham NOYCE, d'autres jeunes pilotes poussent au portillon de la gloire. On 1e citera entre autres : André MALHERBE, André VROMANS, Jean-Jacques BRUNO, Ivan VAN DEN BROEK … 29 Avril 1979 … Une date à encadrer en rouge dans l'Histoire du Mx Français ! Graham C'est au GP de France à Thouars que, pour la première fois, un pilote français, Jean-Jacques BRUNO, gagne une manche de Grand-Prix en Championnat du NOYCE Monde de Motocross. Il remportera aussi le GP d'Allemagne à Beuern. Les déceptions : C'est lors d'un motocross-inter de début de saison que va se Gde-Bretagne bouleverser le déroulement du Mondial 500. Heikki MIKKOLA se blesse au genou. Alors qu'il retrouve progressivement tous ses 2è Hon 3è moyens, il se blesse à nouveau au 5è GP (US) et perd ainsi toute chance de défendre son titre dans une catégorie difficile dont il était tout naturellement le grand favori !

  • CHAMPIONNAT Du MONDE De MOTOCROSS
    CHAMPIONNAT du MONDE de MOTOCROSS 500 12 GP Fait marquant : 1e André MALHERBE coiffe sa 2è Couronne Mondiale consécutive dans la catégorie-reine. Et pourtant, il a attaqué l'ouverture du championnat mal préparé pour cause de blessure ; il s'est déboîté l'épaule à Payerne ; il a été trahi trois fois par la mécanique (SE, FR et GB) … En conséquence, au GP des Etats-Unis, Graham NOYCE, le Champion du Monde 79, profite de tous ces ennuis pour récupérer la tête du championnat. Dédé va reprendre son bien à Namur. Les 2 pilotes se retrouvent à Ettelbruck, le dernier GP de la saison, avec 10 points d'avance en 1e faveur de MALHERBE. Celui-ci va gérer la course et remporter le titre avec 7 points d'avance. Les réussites : - Fin de saison météorique de Hakan CARLQVIST qui n'est pas descendu du podium André dans les 6 derniers GP. Il rajoutera 4 GP et 5 victoires de manches à son palmarès. - Avec 3 manches et 1 GP à son actif, Jean-Jacques BRUNO a réalisé sa meilleure MALHERBE saison. Suzuki lui renouvelle sa confiance pour l'année prochaine. - Un petit nouveau du nom de David THORPE, en qui plein d'espoirs sont placés, pointe son nez, notamment au GP du Luxembourg (4è-6è). Belgique Les déceptions - Brad LACKEY, vice-champion 1980, n'a été que l'ombre de lui-même. 2è Hon 3è Parlant de retraite en fin d'année dernière, il a dû remettre ça, s'inclinant devant les dollars offerts par Suzuki. A part un soubre- saut au GP de France, Brad n'a plus la foi qui l'animait à son Graham Hakan arrivée en Europe.

The third edition of the FIM Off Road Awards was a superb celebration where all the Off Road World and European Champions received their prize after an extremely battled but successful season of racing. Surrounded by the beautiful night view of the Monte Carlo bay, and with an orchestra playing in the background, all the authors of this fantastic 2007 season were given a prize representing the reward of their hard work. The riders, the Federations and the organizers played a very important role this year, cooperating with Youthstream, FIM and UEM in the organization of a superb season of sport. 400 guests were entertained during the whole evening, which started with a press conference at 6.00 pm and continued in the magnificent Salle des Etoiles with the gala dinner and the Awards ceremony. 04/12/2007 Pagina 2 di 8 A view of the crowded Salle des Etoiles Among the many prize giving ceremonies of the night, which saw a brand new duo of presenters made of Frenchman Francis Magnanou and American Amanda Woods, one of the most moving moments of the night happened when Youthstream President Giuseppe Luongo suddenly stopped the regular program of the event to call up on stage some of the riders who made the history of the sport managed by Youthstream: Michele Rinaldi, Eric Geboers, Jean Michel Bayle, Dave Thorpe and Roger De Coster.
