Red Bull has been a team partner for the past two seasons, in which Antonio Cairoli finished second in the 2006 series then claimed his second world title in 2007, and both parties have now agreed to intensify their relationship.
Partnering title holder Cairoli in the 2008 MX2 world championship will be the team's current riders Matteo Bonini and Alessandro Lupino, all riding Yamaha YZ250F machines tuned by the team race department under direct supervision of Claudio De Carli.
As well as the new De Carli title sponsorship, Red Bull will be the official energy drink of the FIM Motocross World Championship from 2008-2010, as well as the title sponsor of the MX of Nations.
