ACU Chairman, Ted Bartlett, flew to Geneva on Thursday 20 February to discuss the mater with FIM President, Mr Ze🌳rbi. Bartlett explained that the venue is excellent but would not be available in 2004 if Dorna pulled the plug on this year's event.
The contract between Andy Nicholls, the MoD [Ministry of Defence - land owners] and Dorna is now ready and with five months🤪 to go the ACU coul𒀰d see no reason for Dorna to cancel the event.
The ACU listened to its members and wholeheartedly backed Nicholls' attempt to return Motocross GP to the UK. Even the FIM agreed to press Dorna to recognise the unforeseen difficulties faced by Nicholls, but it wasn't enough⭕ to avoid the event being cancelled.
