After a successful couple of years working in partnership with the MX Nationals, Michelin have announced that they will continue their support for the series into 2017.
With a number of top tracks confirmed for next year including Foxhills and Canada Heights, the MX Nationals continues to attract a large field of riders across all classes.
Introduced this year, the Michelin Cup pits pro and amateur riders against one another, with points awarded for each race during the season and a Michelin sponsorship package for the next season up for grabs. This year’s winner was Small Wheel Cup rider Carter, who will benefit from a tyre support package in 2017 along with plenty of other goodies.
The prestigious Michelin Cup will once again be up for grabs next year to any rider competing in the series on Michelin tyres.
James Dimmock, Michelin Marketing Manager, commented: “This will be our third year on board with the Michelin MX Nationals and every year we are astounded at the popularity and professionalism of the series. The event has grown to become one of the leading MX series in the UK with riders coming from all over the world to take part. Since the launch of our Starcross 5 MX range back in 2015 we have been receiving consistently good feedback, with the performance of the tyres praised from riders in all classes. As a company, we at Michelin are constantly striving to provide the best in MX tyre technology and our continued commitment to the British MX scene enables us to see at grassroots level how well real riders can perform on our rubber. We look forward to the 2017 series which will undoubtedly provide us with yet another season of gripping action.”
Michelin MX Nationals Race Director, Paul Irwin said: “The support from Michelin is invaluable. Working with this tyre giant is a huge advantage for the MX Nationals, as it really allows us to invest and push the series forward. But it’s not just a case of ‘here’s our sponsorship and see you next year’, they really work with us across all levels. They have a good understanding of the motocross community and they put such effort into the promotion and branding of each round along with their dedicated and professional tyre fitting service that follows the series.”
