TEUTSCHENTHAL (Germany), 20 September 2012 – The German Grand Prix, which will take place in Teutschenthal during the 23rd September weekend, will be the last one of the 2012 FIM Motocross World Championship season. The last rounds of the FIM MX3 and WMX World Championship will also be disputed in the German track during the same weekend, and whereas Chiara Fontanesi was proclaimed the World Champion in the penultimate round at Matterley Basin, the MX3 class is still open with Mathias Walkner at the front of the standings.

Germany has a great history with the sport of Motocross, going all the way back to 1960's and 70's when riders like the late Paul Friedrichs and Adolf Weil were regular Grand Prix winners. In recent years it has been more up to riders like Pit Beirer, Max Nagl and Ken Roczen to hold up for fort for Team Germany.

After finishing with 11th place in the 2008 FIM World MX1 Championship, Belgian hard man Clement Desalle has proven to be very consistent. Going 3-2-3-2 in the end of season MX1 Championship points in the last four years, the Suzuki factory rider is very much the next man in line when it comes to winning the FIM World MX1 Championship.

Two British riders who took their chances in the Motocross of Nations and often came out with strong results are Paul Malin and James Dobb. While Dobb won a World 125cc Motocross Championship in 2001, it was Malin who led Team Great Britain to victory in the 1994 Motocross of Nations.
