MICHAL SIKORA

FIM Europe President

Finally, the new season is starting. After the winter period, which at least for me is always too long, we can start the engines.

Of course, during that time we had some activities both sporting and beyond sporting. As always we had a nice SuperEnduro European Cup, but unfortunately this year with only two rounds in Germany and Hungary. Also, two rounds, both completed in Poland, was forming the calendar for Ice Racing European Championship.

Another fantastic experience was the FIM Europe Club tour on the snowmobiles, where participants had a great chance to enjoy wild nature covered with snow in Lapland.

In January we managed to finalize meetings of our commissions, this time three beyond sport ones. Our new members of Touring, Public Affairs and Environmental Commissions had a change to meet for the first time and plan their work for nearest future.

We are on the last straight in preparations before next Congress in Zaragoza in Spain, which will be a part of Centenary of RFME. In middle of February, I had a privilege to attend special Gala in Madrid with all the Spanish Champions and Officials.

I fully believe that we are approaching an interesting and successful season which I wish to all of you!
