FIM EUROPE INSIDE
pionship, but the cup). Important for us are the Junior classes, with particular attention to the Under-20, but also the possibility of having experienced pilots with young people, I speak of Seniors, but also the Veterans, who sometimes are parents or relatives of some Junior. The Overall is also appreciated, which rewards the absolute champion of the race and of the championship. There are classes with a particularly high number of participants? Why?
The classes with more riders are the Junior ones. These young riders can do high level international experience, train for races of the world championship or for the respective national championships. Then, back on this, I think also for the ease of having information (we have no secrets about what the Commission does, on calendars, proposals, etc.), simple but comprehensive websites , excellent cooperation with the offices of FIM Europe, professional work of the Press Officer of the European Enduro Pairan. But again, the fact that each member of the Commission is really versed in all aspects of the matter, working in their respective Federations always in support to enduro. Without the concerted efforts of all, it would be difficult to go on and maintain good race! Of course, there is still to work on the overall enhancement of the discipline, but this is an aspect that also sees the World Cup in difficulty. Are there news for the championship in 2016? If so, which?
As for several years, it is never easy to baste the calendar the following year, both for the number of requests that exceeds that of the races (and that's good!), but also for the dates of the World Cup races that are not defined ot are likely to adjustments. Nevertheless, in July, in the usual meeting in mid-season coinciding with FIM Europe Congress, the Commission established the calendar for 2016, which is provisional for the reasons cited. Latvia will return, not only for the experience and the commitment of its organizers, but also for the geographical significance compared to Northern European Countries. One reason that drives us in the allocation of races, told of attention to new organizers, is also the number of riders expressed by a geographical reality, trying to limit the long trips, which is also very difficult given the distances among the various European Countries. Then, after some years of absence as an organizer, the Netherlands is back, with the Final in 2015 strongly supported by the local Federation KNMV. And this also considering the good number of Dutch riders who have always participated to the European championship. Who are the riders who choose to participate to European? Mostly young people or not?
