    PRESS RELEASE MIES, 29/08/2013 FOR MORE INFORMATION: ISABELLE LARIVIÈRE PRESS OFFICER [email protected] TEL +41 22 950 95 68 Death of Bill Nilsson Former FIM Motocross World Champion Bill Nilsson passed away on Sunday 25 August at the age of 80. Born on 17 December 1932 in Hallstavik, Sweden, he first appears in the 500cc European Motocross Championship standings in 1953. At the first Grand Prix in Geneva, Switzerland, he finished 4th riding an AJS. Bill achieved his first win in 1954 in his home race in Saxtorp. In 1955 he missed the title by one point in the last race after a duel with British rider John Draper. In 1956 he won two races on the BSA but failed to score points in other races. For 1957, first year of the World Championship, he came back to AJS and it was his year: 2nd in France, winner in Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands, 3rd in Belgium and Denmark and 5th in Britain, he beat Belgian René Baeten and his fellow countryman Sten Lundin. In 1958 he finished 2nd to Baeten, and in 1959 2nd to Lundin before clinching his second World title in 1960, in front of Sten Lundin and Rolf Tibblin. Bill Nilsson was also a member of the Swedish team which won the Motocross des Nations in 1955 (with Sten Lundin and Lars Gustavsson), 1958 (with Lars Gustavsson and Ove Lundell) and 1961 (with Rolf Tibblin and Ove Lundell). He was part the “Golden Era of Sweden” (fifties and sixties) when Swedish riders were frequently winning against British and Belgian riders at the top levels of Motocross (500cc and 250cc).

The @roverownersclub.com.au AGM will be held later in this month and hopefully a new President will be elected at that time.
