CHAMPIONNAT Du MONDE De MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONNAT du MONDE de MOTOCROSS 500 12 GP Fait marquant : 1e Il en va des Championnat du Monde comme des vins, certaines années produisent de grands millésimes et d'autres non. Et, en cross 500, l'année 1980 n'a rien pour donner de la piquette ! Quand, à l'ouverture du Championnat du Monde, on retrouve derrière la grille du GP de Suisse quelques pilotes du genre Roger DE COSTER (5 titres 500), Graham NOYCE (CM500 79), Hakan CARLQVIST (CM250 79), André MALHERBE 2è CM500 79), Brad LACKEY (2è CM500 78 et 4è en 79), et quelques autres pointures comme André VROMANS, Gérard ROND ou 1e notre Jean-Jacques BRUNO national … ça sent forcément le grand millésime ! André MALHERBE va coiffer la couronne mondiale avec 9 manches et 4GP gagnés devant Brad LACKEY. Dès le 1er GP en Suisse, ces 2 pilotes vont monopoliser les 2 premières André places du provisoire et s'échanger 5 fois le leadership. MALHERBE Les réussites : - Alors qu'il était en lutte avec le duo de tête, Hakan CARLQVIST va être décroché suite à 2 mauvais GP (FI et IT). Il est alors rejoint par André Belgique VROMANS. Durant la 2è moitié du championnat, la lutte pour la 3è marche du podium va être intense et tourner à l'avantage du suédois. 2è Hon 3è - Marty MOATES et Danny LAPORTE nettoient le GP des US. - Roger DE COSTER a annoncé son retrait de la compétition en fin d'année. Il va sortir par la Grande Porte en remportant avec Brad Hakan aisance les 2 manches du dernier GP au Luxembourg.

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.

The subject is relevant to investigate since there have not been many scientific researches of motorcycle sport and the factors behind the success. Fifty- four motorcycle World Champions and representatives of the six most successful motorcycle sport countries answer to the research question: “What makes a champion in motorcycle sport?” It is also investigated how the society influences the success in motorcycle sport and how the federations and clubs could improve their training programmes.

  • CHAMPIONNAT Du MONDE De MOTOCROSS
    CHAMPIONNAT du MONDE de MOTOCROSS 500 12 GP Faits marquants : 1e Roger DE COSTER a été engagé par Suzuki pour asseoir sa domination en 500 sur le Mx Mondial, comme ça a été le cas en Championnat 250 avec ROBERT et GEBOERS. Malgré une forte opposition des pilotes Maïco que sont l'allemand Adolf WEIL et le suédois Ake JONSSON, Roger DE COSTER s'est acquitté de sa tâche et coiffe une couronne mondiale 500, 13 ans après son compatriote René BAETEN. Toutefois, une bougie défaillante sur la 1e Maïco de Ake JONSSON, en 1ère manche du dernier GP aux Pays-Bas, l'a bien aidé. Anectode : Il est à noter qu'un piolte autrichien Siegfrid LERNER, tout discrètement, marque 1 point Roger à Sittendorf au GP d'Autriche … Mais pourquoi tant d'attention ? Tout simplement parce que c'est le premier point marqué par KTM en Mondial, vous savez un certain DE COSTER constructeur autrichien … dont, parait-il, on reparlera ! Les déceptions : Belgique Comme en 250, il n'y a pas eu de GP de France 500 selon la règle qui dit qu'un pays recevant le Motocross des Nations ne reçoit pas de GP. 2è Suz 3è Par voie de conséquence, les pilotes français sont encore aux abonnés absents en ce qui concerne le classement final du Ake Adolf Mondial 500.
