Johannesburg, South Africa – 18 September 2007. Network Platforms, a market
leader in Internet and network solutions has confirmed it’s ongoing support of the
South African MX of Nations team that will take part in the coveted Red Bull
Motocross of Nations event to be held in Budds Creek, Maryland, USA on the 23-
24 September.
CEO and founder Brad Love was excited about the Network Platforms commitment
to the team: “This will be our second year on board as official supplier of Internet
solutions to Team SA. We are pleased to support the high speed, high tech and
exciting sport of motocross which is synonymous with the industry qualities that
we focus on. Hopefully the guys can bring home their first ever world title in this
team event. SA not only has great rugby and cricket… Our motocross riders are
world class and we are honoured to be involved with them.”
Team SA manager and former FIM and AMA Motocross World champion, Greg
Albertyn backed the great support received by Network Platforms. “It’s great to
see a South African company get behind the team. We appreciate all the support
we can get, especially as the event is financed by outside sponsors and we hope
to encourage more partners for years to come. With Grant winning the AMA
Motocross title in the USA and Gareth Swanepoel getting on the podium at the
final GP of the year we have a realistic shot at a podium spot. Wyatt Avis is
coming back from an injury but he has the speed and tenacity to produce a good
result.”
Last year’s event in England attracted 85,000 spectators and more are expected
to attend this year in USA. The Motocross of Nations is the single most prestigious
race on the International motocross calendar. Often referred to as the Olympics
of Motocross, this team event boasts huge TV broadcasting numbers with more
than 100 million fans reached in 170 countries around the world. click on ozzy go
