Motorcycling Australia CEO David White has spoken out about Global Action Sports’ decision to quit promoting the Australian Supercross Championship.

After four seasons promoting supercross under the Super X brand, GAS today revealed that they would be pulling out of the sport, effective immediately (click here for the full story).

“It is unfortunate that Global Action Sports cannot see their way clear to continue with the promotion of the Australian Supercross Championship, however we have to face reality and accept the company cannot continue promoting where there is not an opportunity for profit and to recover their past losses,” White commented.

“Mike Porra had a vision for this exciting sport, but that vision could not be turned into commercial reality. He tried very hard to make it work, had some wonderful promotional and staging ideas, and absolutely gave it his best shot.

“Economically things were tight globally literally from the first event and this economic climate did not help. I thank Global Action Sports for their involvement and hope they may see their way forward to be involved in our events into the future.”

MA is now seeking expressions of interest from promoters to host the 2012 series, which will likely be contested during ‘late 2012 to early 2013’.
