Multi FIM MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez was the first ambassador to be appointed when the programme began back in 2012. Since then further ambassadors have been added to the programme who represent different genders and cultures, motorcycling disciplines and geographical areas, this diverse team of top riders lend their voices to convey the FIM’s sustainability policy and help to safeguard the future of the sport.
Chilean born Quintanilla, who before switching disciplines in 2012 was a thirteen times national motocross champion has the worthy pedigree to join his peers in this important mission, that puts top athletes at the service of humanity and the future generations. Along with the other FIM Ride Green Ambassadors, Pablo has been invited by the FIM to be a leader and play a major role in the contribution made by our sport to a greener and more sustainable World.
A regular competitor in the Dakar and other rally events in more recent years, which are hosted in some of the most beautiful and natural locations on the planet, Quintanilla is fully aware of the importance of the campaign for sustainable sport, and such is ready to accept his mission as a FIM Ride Green Ambassador, which will include: Representing the FIM in environmental activities; Supporting the campaign through social media; Be the FIM Voice for the Ride Green Campaign.
Pablo recognises that the voices of the Ambassadors are a powerful force that can captivate millions of fans. Sport represents a very valuable vehicle for the promotion of attitudes that are simple to adopt but represent a major contribution to the crisis and to mitigating climate change.
Speaking about his new role Pablo Quintanilla explained: “I am very happy to have been appointed as an FIM Ride Green Ambassador. It is an honour for me to join this great team of riders who are committed to protecting the environment and respecting the natural landscape in which we compete."
“Our sport is beautiful and a big challenge at the same time. The motorcycle connects us to nature and allows us to realise just how important it is to preserve it around the World.

Katia Juarez, Director of the FIM International Sustainability Commission added her comment: “Today we are very proud to welcome Pablo Quintanilla to help us raise awareness in Latin America, a continent that is very active in motorcycling. After eight years working with the Ride Green Team across all disciplines and Continents we can confirm that greater awareness has been achieved in our community through the work done by these fantastic athletes. Thanks to Pablo’s popularity and motivation to help protect the nature, we can expect to see still more inspiration amongst our fans thanks to the messages conveyed by these exceptional riders.”

2020 FIM Conference of the Commissions

This meeting creates a unique opportunity for the commission members to meet and share ideas with their colleagues and with the FIM Board of Directors, the FIM Administration plus the FIM World Championship Promoters.
Diverse and different, but fundamentally linked aspects of the FIM’s core activities were addressed in the Plenary Session, which also showcased the Commissions’ activities. Following on from last year’s new initiative, FIM President Jorge Viegas again invited the FIM World Championship Promoters to join the Plenary Session. Each Commission Director and Promoter explained the main changes, projects and challenges for the year to come and the near future.
As part of the ongoing directive to open the FIM to the outside World, the FIM President welcomed international media from different disciplines, with representatives from Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Sweden to attend the Plenary Session for the first time.
In the framework of this Conference, the FIM Technical Commission hosted its first workshop, which was open to all FIM Family members and the international media in attendance. This event was headlined by three guest speakers – those being Jean-Philippe Cappelle - Michelin Competition 2 wheels Tyre Developer; Franco Gatto – Dainese D|air® System Coordinator and Professor Matteo Massaro – University of Padova who covered a wide range of engaging topics from their specialist spheres.
Over the weekend the various FIM Commissions conducted their own meetings to work on 2020 projects and activities. Everyone’s efforts and hard work over the two days were recognised and rewarded as the FIM Family as a whole enjoyed a cocktail and get together for a party at the FIM headquarters on Saturday evening.

Expressing his satisfaction, the FIM President Jorge Viegas said: “The FIM depends on the Commissions and their expertise to deliver its events and its programmes. The Conference of the FIM Commissions is a key opportunity to meet their members and Directors as the year’s activities gear up. This event is also about thanking and rewarding the volunteers for their dedication and service to the FIM. Since last year I have welcomed the FIM World Championship promoters to participate in the plenary session. For the very first time, we have also invited international media from various disciplines to join the session so they could meet the people behind the scene of motorcycling. I will repeat this invitation in the future. One of my important wishes is to open the FIM to the outside world.”

FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships
Changes to the Regulations for 2020
The Superbike Commission composed of Messrs Gregorio Lavilla (WorldSBK Sporting & Organization Executive Director), Takanao Tsubouchi (MSMA Representative) and Franck Vayssié (FIM CCR Director) in the presence of Mr Paul Duparc (FIM CCR Coordinator and secretary of this meeting) met in the Dorna Headquarters, in Madrid, on 27 November 2019.
The Superbike Commission made the following changes for the 2020 FIM Superbike & Supersports World Championships Regulations:
Sporting Regulations
Sporting and Disciplinary Regulations – Effective Season 2020
Various clarifications in order to simplify the rules and to adapt them to decisions taken during the season were adopted. The most emblematic decisions were as follows:
Track limits on the last lap of the race
Any excursions of track limits on the last lap of the race that may have affected a race result must indicate that the rider in question was disadvantaged. If the FIM Stewards panel decide that there is no clear disadvantage, the rider will be penalised with a change of position or a time penalty.
Black Flag with Orange Disk
In harmonisation with the EWC and GP Regulations, riders who are required to leave the track by display of this flag must be authorised by an official to re-join the track.
Helmets
The Commission reminded everyone that the new standards established by the FIM for all circuit racing disciplines managed by the FIM. This means that the single enhanced standard for helmets, (replacing the various national standards used before) will be applied for the Supersport riders in 2020.
Materials Used in "Sliders"
Some riders use knee sliders to which had been added metal studs. The sparks generated could disturb the following riders. It will be therefore prohibited to manufacture or modify knee or other sliders to include any material that, when in contact with the track surface, may cause a visual disturbance to other riders. 11 ROUTE DE SUISSE CH – 1295 MIES FOUNDED 1904 TEL +41 22 950 95 00 FAX +41 22 950 95 01 info@fim.ch WWW.FIM-LIVE.COM
Management of the hand carried generator during the start procedure:
The current regulations limit the use to a hand carried generator with a maximum output of 2 kw. Current practice is for generators to be incorporated into a service cart with toolboxes, spare wheels and other equipment. If generator/equipment cart, trolleys and airblowers must be removed from the grid as soon as the board "3 Minutes" is presented, for organisational reasons, it was clarified that these generators, must have been disconnected prior the board "3 Minutes" is shown.
Technical Regulations
Technical Regulations
The Superbike Commission approved a number of clarifications and editorials with regards to the Technical rules:
In Superbike:
* Wings and Aerodynamic Aids - For active or dynamic aerodynamic parts ONLY the standard homologated mechanism may be used. The range of movement must be the same as that used by the homologated road machine in normal use - not the mechanical maximum.
* Concession parts – updates
* Option parts – updates
* Rev limits – updates
* Tyre pressure - Riders may be stopped in the pit lane during the exit from the box at any time by the SBK Technical Director or his appointed staff to check the tyre pressure.
* Concession part - The ‘optional’ cylinder head as used by the reference team must be available from the concession parts supplier.
* Generator, alternator, etc.- Only the originally homologated or approved concession flywheel may be used.
* Frame and sub frame - Important clarifications.
* Wheels - Angled air valves are compulsory.
* Bottom streamlining section – Important construction requirements
In Supersport 600:
* Concession parts - Clarification
* Rev limit – new values (tbc)
* Minimum weight – new weight values (tbc)
* Tyres – maximum quantity, logistics (* timetable) and clarifications.
* Tyre pressure – Riders should be ready for possible tyre pressure control at any time in pitlane
* Camshafts – Clarification, price and availability
* Transmission – Important clarifications: definition, allowances and limitations
* Electrics and electronics – Important changes and clarifications
* Wheels - Angled air valves are compulsory 11 ROUTE DE SUISSE CH – 1295 MIES FOUNDED 1904 TEL +41 22 950 95 00 FAX +41 22 950 95 01 info@fim.ch WWW.FIM-LIVE.COM

Sporting Monte-Carlo ready to
host FIM General Assembly & FIM Awards
|
This coming weekend will see the largest gathering of the year of the motorcycling family. The FIM General Assembly and FIM Awards take place on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December respectively at the Sporting Monte-Carlo venue. As has now become the tradition, the annual season closing event again promises to be the most glamourous occasion in the FIM international calendar.
|
Ahead of the glittering main ceremony on Sunday evening, delegates from the one hundred and eleven national federations will first gather for Saturday’s FIM General Assembly with a packed programme planned where the representatives will be asked to vote on a number of important and different matters.
After a day of intense business, the motorcycling family will then turn their attentions to the FIM Awards which again will provide a unique moment to recognise and reward the exploits and achievements of all our heroes and heroines and officially crown these 2019 FIM World Champions from a wide range of different disciplines.
|
Speaking ahead of this weekend FIM President Jorge Viegas said: “It is always moving to see our champions standing shoulder-to-shoulder on stage with the individuals and organisations that protect and promote motorcycling activity around the World, and who nurture the sporting heroes of the future!”
“At a time when the FIM is focusing on sustainability and creating championships to develop new talent and future World Champions, it seems the perfect moment to be hosting the FIM Awards again inside this inspiring city.”
“It will be with immense pride that we welcome our many FIM Champions both individual and team – some new and some returning – who through their incredible skill and bravery continue to increase audiences both at the events and via the amazing TV coverage the various disciplines enjoy.”
“Alongside our sporting heroes and heroines and their successes, the FIM will be equally proud to recognise the many Road Safety, Sustainability, Women in Motorcycling and Future Stars projects and initiatives that have taken place in 2019 and celebrating those that won this year’s FIM Awards.”
“Finally, with everyone from the FIM family all gathered together in one place, it will be an ideal occasion to also applaud and reward those individuals who contribute so much, but who are usually less visible.”

|
During these two days, the Board addressed many FIM topics, in particular:
E-bike: The successful inaugural FIM E-X Bike World Cup took place in Imola during the MXGP on 17 August in Italy with top riders Marco Melandri & Davide Guarneri in attendance. Riders from several parts of Europe participated in the FIM E-X Bike race for electric bicycles. This experience is an excellent working basis for the future of this promising Championship. The Board approved the creation of an E-bike Working group comprising a dozen members, meeting soon, and an E-Bike Commission for 2020. This decision will be submitted to the General Assembly.
Collaboration with FIA: Thanks to their great working relationship, the FIM and the FIA collaborate on a range of research projects related to circuits, competitor safety devices, medical issues, sustainability, women, and various homologation programs. Both Federations share circuits around the world. A collaborative approach to safety standards will simplify the process for the industry whilst ensuring the highest level of safety for competitors worldwide.
Cross Country Rallies, Bajas and Side by Side Vehicles: For the very first time, two International Sporting Federations will organise joint Championships. The FIM and the FIA agree that the FIM/FIA licences will be valid on both Federation events. Common calendars are under discussion and regulations are being finalised. A joint meeting will be organised at the FIM Headquarters on 3 September.
KTM/WESS: Since the beginning of the year, the FIM has been openly talking with the KTM Group and the party responsible for the existing “Extreme Enduro Series” in order to find a way to improve the Enduro discipline. However, despite many efforts and meetings, it has not been possible to reach an agreement. The FIM stays firm with regards to environmental rules, safety conditions, protection of riders and controlling the sport. The FIM remains totally open to a fair agreement for the future.
Enduro / Enduro “Extreme: The Board approved the decision to launch as soon as possible two different tenders: one for the promotion of the FIM Enduro World Championship 2021-2030 and another for a new FIM Enduro Extreme World Cup 2020-2029, with the objective of bringing together the Enduro family.
FIM Calendars: The Sports department worked closely with the FMNs and FIM Promoters to harmonise the 2020 FIM World Championships, Cups and Prizes events calendars. For the first time there will be no date clashes in the same country.
Trial-E: The FIM will present a bid for Trial-E to be included in the European Games governed by the European Olympic Committes in 2023.
FIM Historic Events: New event: a parade for historical racing motorcycles in all disciplines. The first edition of the FIM Historic Events will be held in Estoril on 5 & 6 October, attended by Giacomo Agostini, in the presence of the FIM President.
Protocols: The Board approved protocols for podium ceremonies and receiving Officials for the FIM World Championship Events as from 2020.
Anti-doping: The Board has approved a new simplified and speedy procedure for anti-doping tests for the AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. The sample collection and analysis will be carried out by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). The FIM will be responsible for the rest of the procedure in case of a positive result.
IFM (International Foundation for Motorcycling): In May the Board approved on principle the creation of a Foundation for the FIM. Today, the Board approved the statutes of the IFM aiming to create new sources of revenue and unite key motorcycling stakeholders around FIM projects. The International Foundation for Motorcycling project will be presented to the FIM General Assembly in Monaco in November.
Finance: Following a recommendation by the FIM Finance Committee, the 2020 FIM budget was approved by the Board of Directors for presentation to the FIM General Assembly.
FIM Distinction: Several Honorary memberships and distinctions have been discussed and approved by the Board, to be proposed to the General Assembly.
In addition, the CONU Presidents, the Board Committees and the departments of the administration presented the progress of their projects.

We have seen from previous activities that when we combine resources we can make an even bigger impact. We are delighted to be co-hosting this first world conference and I am convinced together we can help to increase the participation of more women in both four and two-wheel drive mixed motor sport.”

FIM Racing Homologation Programme
for helmets comes into force
|
After a huge amount of combined effort and collaboration between all the main stakeholders, the FIM Racing Homologation Programme for helmets (FRHP) came into force for Grand Prix and Superbike racing as of 3 June. This marks an important moment for the programme with the original meeting between the interested parties having taken place almost three years ago back in July 2016.
|
From the outset the aim of the programme was to improve riders’ head protection and to respond to the need for a more objective evaluation of the safety performance of protective helmet systems for racing. The FRHP has been established, with the collaboration of the helmet manufacturers, in order to define a new test standard that goes above and beyond existing ones (e.g. UN ECE 22.05, Snell M2015, JIS T8133).
In addition to Grand Prix and Superbike racing adopting the new standard with immediate effect, it will be mandatory for all circuit racing competitions to adhere to the new FIM homologation process as from their first event of 2020.
Whilst the initial focus has been on circuit racing, the FIM already has plans to extend the FRHP to off road disciplines and championships in the next few years. Full details of the programme can be found on the official website http://www.frhp.org/ - including a full list of homologated helmets.
|
Speaking about the FRHP implementation FIM President Jorge Viegas said. “Bringing the FIM Racing Homologation Programme for helmets into force represents a major milestone for this project, with the FIM having invested a large amount of work alongside the helmet manufacturers, our promoters, plus other recognised associations and key representatives from the industry over the last three years to arrive at this historic moment. As we have made clear, safety and in particular rider safety is one of the main pillars of the FIM moving forward, therefore it is important that we can reinforce this message with actual and real commitment by bringing the FRHP into action.”
|
|
|
The FIM Racing Homologation Programme was established in order to grant special recognition to products related to safety and as a requirement for FIM competitions. The main aim of this programme is to meet the need for an advanced evaluation of the safety performance of different kind of products. The homologation is obtained when specific high performance and quality standards set for each product are met.

First FIM E-Bike Enduro World Cup
proves a success
|
The first ever FIM E-Bike Enduro World Cup was held over 1 / 2 June 2019 as part of Trophee de France E-VTT Enduro at Privas, France in collaboration with the FFM. The competitors included female and junior representatives alongside their male counterparts who made up the majority of the entry at this innovative competition that proved a real success.

|
All the riders competed in the Enduro2 (E2) class. This is for E-Bikes equipped with a motor with a maximum continuous rated power of 250W and whose assistance does not exceed 25 km/h. The minimum age of riders for this class is fourteen years old.
The two-day event saw the riders pass through administrative and technical control before contesting the Urban prologue in the centre of the city on Saturday. Whilst Sunday brought the main race in the surrounding hills. All of the competitors enjoyed the course which was a mix of mountain routes and rocky forest trails.
Keen to ensure fair play in a discipline where the electronic technology is core to the overall performance, the FIM with the assistance of the FFM ran a series of random power checks out on the course and throughout the competition. Whilst the overall majority of riders fully respected the rules and were pleased to see the checks taking place, one competitor was disqualified for having modified the electronics to gain an unfair advantage.
The podium included some familiar faces, with FFM motorcycle enduro riders Thibault Passet and Antoine Basset occupying the lower two steps, leaving the top spot for winner Raphaël Lacroze, who is a regular at mountain bike races.
Since the launch of the Trophee de France E-VTT Enduro, the FFM has seen a rise in entries with the first round of the series boasting just short of fifty riders to reinforce the almost forty strong field in Privas.
With the support of the FIM, the FMB will also organise, in collaboration with various partners, the first event for electric bicycles in Belgium next Sunday 9 June. This ground breaking event will take place as part of the Bikersland exhibition on and around the Circuit Jules Tacheny in Mettet. This will be followed by the FIM E-XBike World Cup, which will be held in Imola, Italy on 17-18 August.
Commenting post event FIM Sports Director, Jean-Paul Gombeaud said: "The FIM is pleased with this first edition, the riders were delighted with the demanding terrain and also appreciated the professional organisation and random power checks out on the course.”
“The FIM is currently creating a working group to develop E-bike competitions. 2019 is very much a year of testing and 2020 will be an important moment for the international development of the various E-Bike disciplines."

Riders look forward to enjoying great roads, scenery and heritage at the historic Motogiro D’Italia
|
As one of the longest running rallies in the World, the Motogiro D’Italia attracts riders from around the globe, evoking a sense of nostalgia as classic bikes join the procession as its winds through the stunning beauty of the Italian heartland. Considered by many enthusiasts to be the “Mille Miglia” of the two wheeled World, the event runs over six days from 26th May to 1st June, commencing and finishing in that most romantic of cities - Rome.
|
The one hundred plus riders from all over the globe will experience just under a thousand miles of stunning routes featuring breath-taking landscapes and sweeping mountainous passes. The rollercoaster route climbs to the very top of the highest peaks before sweeping down to the plains and forests adjoining the Adriatic. Scheduled stopover locations include Roccaraso in the heart of the Abruzzo National Park, the seaside resort of Montesilvano Marina and Terni, the hometown of the organising club.
Keeping to the traditions of the original event, which was established in 1914, this timed, road-based trial event features mandatory route check points and special time trial sections. Accurate timekeeping and roadbook reading will be key to gaining a good final score.
|
|
|
Organised by the Moto Club Terni L. Liberati – P. Pileri in collaboration with the Italian Federation (FMI) and Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) the Motogiro d’Italia is considered a ‘classico’ among Rally aficionados, attracting a diverse group of riders. Some of the priceless machinery already entered into this ‘travelling museum’ include a 1949 Brough Superior SS100 from the legendary film Lawrence of Arabia, a 1929 Indian Scout, and a 1937 500 Rudge Ulster. These bikes are joined by classic and modern Italian machinery from Ducati, MV Agusta, Mondial, Morini, Benelli, Gilera, Bianchi and Moto Guzzi. Ducati and Moto Guzzi are in fact current Technical Sponsors of the ‘Motogiro’.
Alongside these classic machines two great names of motorcycling racing from the 1970/80’s – World Champions Pierpaolo Bianchi and Carlos Lavado will also be participating, illustrating biking heritage in both the mechanical and human sense.
|
There are seven categories for competing machines: Heritage for solo and sidecar motorcycles built from 1914 to 1949; Historical for sport machines replicating bikes that would have taken part in the original Motogiro (up to 175 cc from 1949 up to 1958); Vintage machines of any displacement built from 1959 to 1968; Classic (1970-1980); Motogiro D’Italia a category for motorcycles of any displacement built from 1981 up to today and Café Racer for bikes that have been modified or customised of any displacement built from 1960. Finally, there is the Tourist class for enthusiasts who wish to follow the route and experience the event, but not be timed and ‘ranked’ within it, giving a more leisurely pace. The event will also feature Classic cars for the first time in 2019.

Some of the collection had been shared recently on the FIM social media channels, and FIM President Jorge Viegas was delighted to welcome a number of top Swiss riders, a MotoGP legend, local personalities and members of the regional media to view the sketches first hand in a convivial ambiance.
In addition to appreciating the art works, the FIM’s guests, who included Spanish hero Dani Pedrosa – 125 / 250cc FIM Grand Prix World Champion and recently retired MotoGP rider, were able to enjoy a cocktail dinner and live music provided by the artist’s son Marcos Cabañas on guitar and vocals, now based in Nyon.
The FIM’s host country Switzerland was well represented by the likes of Bastien Chesaux - Supersport and Moto2 rider; Rolf Biland – seven times FIM Sidecar Grand Prix World Champion; Jacques Cornu – FIM Endurance World Champion and winner of 24 hours of Le Mans / 24 Hours Spa plus multi Road Racing National Champion 250 / 350 / 500c and 250cc GP winner; Philippe Coulon – 500cc Grand Prix rider – two podium finishes in fifty-four races; Serge David - four times Motocross National Champion before becoming 500cc Grand Prix rider; Roland Freymond – 250 / 350cc Grand Prix rider; Hervé Gantner – Supersport National Champion; Joe & Hubert Genoud – Twin brothers who are key figures in Swiss motorcycling; Marc Ristori – multi Motocross National Champion; Bernard Jonzier – Grand Prix commentator for more than 30 years at RTS, and his successor Matthieu Juttens.
The exhibition itself showcases an amazing spectrum of sketches that depict a mixture of famous racers, global celebrities and motorcycle icons that includes names such as Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Bruce Springsteen, Orlando Bloom, Richard Gere, Nicolas Prost, Guy Martin, Ewan McGregor, Hubert Bastie, Marc Marquez, Roland Sands, Dani Pedrosa and Kevin Schwantz.
The guests were also able to admire a fine collection of vintage motorcycles on exhibition at the FIM Headquarters. The FIM’s temporary motorcycle exhibition is renewed from time to time thanks to generous loans by Georges Châtelain, founder member of the organisation Rétro Moto International. In addition several handsome motocross bikes were recently loaned to the FIM by Youthstream CEO Giuseppe Luongo and three Scramblers were provided for the occasion of the exhibition by the manufacturer Ducati.
Confirming the huge success of the evening FIM President Jorge Viegas said. “It was an honour and a pleasure to host Emilio’s fantastic work here, in the House of Motorcycling! This was one of our initiatives to open the FIM to the outside, to the community of which we are a part. Like Emilio, we know that success can only be possible if we put passion in everything we do.”
The artist Emilio Cabañas also expressed his satisfaction at the success of the vernissage: “Constancy and persistence with passion are a very good combination. Yesterday at the FIM, I felt that my message was perfectly understood and transmitted at the event. I’m very grateful to the FIM for sharing these values”.
The ‘100 Cool Riders’ exhibition at the FIM headquarters in Mies, Switzerland will be open for invited viewing until the end of business on Friday 17 May.

Following on from the ground breaking presentation made during the opening MotoGP event in Losail, Qatar back in March, FIM President Jorge Viegas has now used the occasion of the fifth round of the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship in Mantova, Italy to again highlight and reinforce the important role that the International Federation plays within another highly successful series.

The FIM President addressed a large gathering that included members of the International media, plus other invited guests in the form of Giovanni Copioli (FIM Board Member / FMI President), Giuseppe Luongo (President Youthstream Group SAM), David Luongo (Vice-President, Head of Operations, Youthstream Group SAM), plus representatives from both FIM Europe and the Mantova Circuit.
The new FIM President explained that it is his aim to champion the role of the FIM to the outside World, and to clearly show how its function is fundamental to the safe and fair running of the championship through the services, support and staff that it provides.
Mr Viegas set out the FIM’s mission within MXGP is to create the rules together with the Promoter and to apply the rules and the relevant sanctions issued by the FIM Stewards panel. The FIM is also in charge of circuit homologation, safety including all medical aspects and the antidoping programme. The FIM’s remit also covers the training of the officials, including the race director, clerk of the course, marshals, the technical and environmental stewards. This important training is conducted through FIM seminars delivered by FIM instructors around the World to teach the 100 to 120 track marshals needed during a MXGP weekend.
Particular attention is being given to the transformation and consolidation of investment to the championship in order to improve the safety and design of the circuits. This is being done by employing permanent staff to take care and oversee any changes that are required. Another area of focus is to provide medical recuperation and assistance where needed post-accident.
Having clearly set out the position of the FIM, the FIM President then invited each member of the FIM staff who were in attendance to present themselves and to explain their role within the MXGP structure. The invited speakers included:
FIM Motocross officials
- Antonio Alia Portelo (ESP) - Steward / CMS Director
- Ingo Partsch (AUT) - Race Director / CMS Member
- Jiri Sitina (CZE) - Deputy Race Director / CMS Member
- Janika Judeika (LAT) - Delegate / CMS Member
- Andrew Summers (GBR) - Technical Director / CTI Member
- Christopher Warren (GBR) - Chief Flag Steward / CMS Member
- Martin Syrucek (CZE) - Medical Director / CMI Member
- Dirk De Neve (BEL) - CMS Coordinator
FIM administration representatives:
- Tony Skillington (IRL) - CEO
- Jean-Paul Gombeaud (FRA) - Sports Director
- Fabio Muner (ITA) - Marketing & Communications Director
- Isabelle Larivière (FRA) - Communications Manager
- Damiano Zamana (ITA) - Services Director
Following the presentations of each of the FIM staff, the FIM President Jorge Viegas added his own closing comment. “After my election, one of my goals was to expose the FIM to the outside World and to explain the fundamental role it plays in each championship, to ensure the safe and fair running of the championship through the services, support and staff that it provides. To do this, I am fortunate to have the support of a team of highly motivated professionals and it is for this reason that I wanted to organise this press conference to present them to you today. Through our close collaboration with Youthstream the promoter of the Championship since 2003 and all the other stakeholders, together we will continue to work closely to maintain MXGP as the top class amongst the off-road disciplines.”

FIM and Eurosport Events sign new 10-year contract to promote the FIM Endurance World Championship
|
The FIM President Jorge Viegas has signed a new agreement on the eve of the 24 Heures Motos, renewing the FIM’s trust in promoter Eurosport Events for the next 10 years. A close partnership with the FIM will enable Eurosport Events to take Endurance racing to new heights from here to 2029.
|

|
In 2015, Eurosport Events and the FIM gave themselves five years to kick-start the Endurance World Championship when they signed their first partnership deal. The positive results obtained across the board thanks to the past few years of work have led FIM and Eurosport Events to extend their partnership.
Major accomplishments
Joint action by the FIM and EEL has made the sport far more competitive and reawakened public interest in the championship. The number of contracted teams has doubled, from 20 in 2015 to nearly 40 this season. As of the last two seasons, the rise in the number of competitors has made selection committees a necessity.
Key reforms jointly implemented by the FIM and Eurosport Events have shaped the current face of the FIM EWC. Among a range of significant accomplishments, the revised calendar stands out as a landmark achievement of the past few seasons. Introduced in 2016, it has the Bol d’Or as the championship’s opening round in September, with the Suzuka 8 Hours enjoying the status of grand finale in July.
Thanks to this reform, a major new international endurance race will be added to the 2019-2020 calendar: the 8 Hours of Sepang, to be held on 14 December 2019 in Malaysia.
Other substantial changes include supporting private teams with the EWC Dunlop Independent Trophy, making all the day-night races permanent fixtures, and setting up a dedicated and permanent FIM/Eurosport Events team, who are present at every race.
A more international championship
Eurosport Events has also focused on enhancing the championship’s global visibility by showing both live and delayed coverage on television and digital networks across the world. The FIM EWC has gone from airtime on four channels in 2015 to coverage in more than 111 countries today. The wide-ranging international broadcast and the new excitement of FIM EWC races have served to extend the championship’s international slant, from the 7 countries represented in 2015 to 13 this season, with a Japanese team crowned world champions for the first time in the history of the series.
The new 10-year contract will make it possible to undertake key future developments, driven by the desire to attract fresh international teams and riders, turn the 8 Hours of Sepang into a cornerstone event, expand international media coverage (digital, print and TV), and deliver a unique and even more immersive fan experience.
Jorge Viegas, FIM President
‘It is a pleasure and an honour for me to sign the new contract on behalf of the FIM with Eurosport Events at the 24 Hours Motos, an event that is especially close to my heart because I participated in the first edition back in 1978.
Eurosport Events has really done a great job as a promoter, always respecting the FIM's sporting authority, with this in mind we renew their contract for the next ten years. The FIM and Eurosport Events will continue their close collaboration and jointly we will soon introduce new features to further develop the FIM Endurance World Championship.’
François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events
‘Eurosport Events made very humble first steps into the world of motorcycle endurance racing in 2015. The FIM has proved to be a great partner, guiding us through the early stages and supporting the reform plan we began to roll out in 2016. The excellent relationship between Eurosport Events and the FIM under the leadership of its new President Jorge Viegas means we can confidently undertake long-term plans to continue enhancing the championship’s standard of racing and boosting its popularity.’

FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships
Balancing and Concession updates
At the conclusion of the 3rd round of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship the concession points scores see the top two manufacturers Ducati and Kawasaki at the top of the table. Due to the gap of only 7 points (20-13) neither will be allowed a concession parts upgrade during the season. The remaining manufacturers will all be allowed one upgrade.
The calculation is made considering the results of the full distance races (Races 1 and 2).
REV LIMITS:
The DWO and FIM in consultation with their performance analysis partner have concluded that the following updates will be made to the manufacturers rev limits:
? Ducati – reduction of 250rpm
? Honda – increase of 500rpm
Special consideration has been applied in the case of BMW – the German marque, after declaring their concession parts, chose to compete in the first two events using a standard engine. This is compliant with the regulations and therefore the weighting of the calculation has been biased towards their performance during the third event where the concession specification engine was used.
The changes must be in increments of 250rpm and the Honda’s performance indicates that two steps should be applied at this point.

From Round 4 – Motul Dutch Round (Assen) - the rev limits will be: Brand

MotoGP Court of Appeal hands down decision
Case against Ducati aerodynamic devices
VisitQatar Grand Prix – Doha (QAT), 10 March
During the MotoGP race at the season opener in Qatar on 10 March 2019, technical protests concerning the use of a device on the Ducati machine were lodged with the FIM MotoGP Stewards by Team Suzuki Ecstar against #43 Jack Miller (Ducati), by Repsol Honda Team against #4 Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati), and by Red Bull KTM Factory Team and Aprilia Racing Team Gresini against #9 Danilo Petrucci (Ducati).
The protesting teams considered that the device was primarily an aerodynamic device and therefore not compliant with the MotoGP technical regulations. After a hearing, the four protests were rejected.
The same four teams then lodged appeals against the MotoGP Stewards’ decision to the MotoGP Appeal Stewards and a further hearing was conducted. The MotoGP Appeal Stewards determined that further technical evaluation was required and that this was not possible under the circumstances. They therefore decided to refer the matter to the MotoGP Court of Appeal in accordance with Art. 3.3.3.2 of the applicable Regulations.
Following a hearing in Mies on Friday 22 March, the MotoGP Court of Appeal handed down its decision today 26 March and the parties (the four appellants, Ducati and the FIM) have been duly notified.
On these grounds, the MotoGP Court of Appeal rules that:
? The appeals filed by Team Aprilia, Team Suzuki, Team Honda and Team KTM are admissible.
? The provisional race results are confirmed and are declared as final.
? The request to declare the Device illegal and ban its use in future races is rejected.
An appeal against this decision may be lodged before the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) in Lausanne Switzerland within 5 days pursuant to Article 3.9 of the 2019 FIM World Championship Grand Prix Regulations.
-----------------------------------------
FIM Grand Prix World Championship
Decision of the Grand Prix Commission
The Grand Prix Commission, composed of Messrs. Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna, Chairman), Paul Duparc (FIM), Herve Poncharal (IRTA) and Takanao Tsubouchi (MSMA), in an electronic meeting held on 1 March 2019 made the following decision:
Sporting and Disciplinary Regulations
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Long Lap Penalty
When the FIM MotoGP™ Stewards impose a Change of Position penalty on a rider, for Track Limits, or any other reason, there is a possibility of it being unfair, (depending on whether a rider is close to others or not) and it is also difficult to monitor when there are multiple infractions.
To make a more fair and verifiable penalty, the Grand Prix Commission, after consultation with the Safety Commission, have agreed to introduce a new "Long Lap Penalty".
At every circuit a route will be defined and marked at a safe point around the track, (usually an asphalt runoff area outside of a turn), which is some seconds slower than the normal racing line. The penalised rider must ride through the defined area within 3 laps of being notified, thereby suffering a penalty equivalent to several seconds, (typically 2 or more seconds), on that lap. Procedures will be in place to enable the Stewards to use an equivalent time penalty in case the rider is unable to complete the Long Lap, (e.g. in case of a red flagged race).
This penalty will be added to the list of sanctions available to the FIM MotoGP Stewards, and whilst it is primarily intended for track limits violations, it may be used in any circumstances deemed appropriate by the Stewards. The drop position penalty will continue being available to the Stewards.
A regularly updated version of the FIM Grand Prix Regulations which contains the detailed text of the regulation changes may be viewed shortly on:

SHARK introduces the first FIM racing homologated helmet
|
The FIM is pleased to announce that FIM homologation has been granted for the new SHARK helmet for Circuit Racing, the Race R Pro GP FIM Racing #1.
|
This helmet comes with a standard ECE certification and has successfully passed all tests of the FIM Helmet Standard FRHPhe-01, namely linear impact tests at high (8.2 m/s) and low (5.0 m/s) speed on ECE points, medium speed linear impact tests on three extra points randomly chosen on the helmet surface, oblique impact tests with five different orientations and penetration test at two random spots.
The helmet will be available for the riders in 5 sizes (from XS to XL) and the homologation is valid only in the presence of all the available appendices (chin, top and front vents, top and chin lateral venturis) and the rear aerodynamic spoiler.
|
The homologation of this product is illustrated by the FIM Homologation Emblem, which features the wording "FIM Racing Homologated Helmet", the FRHP and SKARK logos and the product information.
|
Alban Rojas, SHARK Helmets Research & Innovation Manager: "Racing is our DNA: SHARK Helmets has been relying on motorcycle racing to boost brand development ever since its creation 30 years ago. Our ethos is always to push the technical boundaries and innovate to ensure the highest level of performance and protection for our riders that even exceeds safety standards. For many years now, we are working very closely with the FIM Racing Homologation Programme for helmets to keep going further in the level of security for all the riders. Today, we are very proud to be one of the first brands in the world to receive the new FRHPhe-01 homologation for our flagship model, the Race-R Pro GP FIM racing # 1, which will be worn by our top riders such as Johann Zarco and Jorge Lorenzo for the next season."
|
|
|
The FIM Racing Homologation Programme was established in order to grant special recognition to products related to safety and as a requirement for FIM competitions. The main aim of this programme is to meet the need for an advanced evaluation of the safety performance of different kind of products. The homologation is obtained when specific high performance and quality standards set for each product are met.

FIM Superbike & Supersport World Championships
Changes to the Regulations for 2019
Messrs Gregorio Lavilla (WorldSBK Sporting Director, Chairman), Takanao TSUBOUCHI (MSMA) and Paul DUPARC (Deputizing for Rezsö BULCSU & secretary of the meeting), also present Charles HENNEKAM (FIM CTI Coordinator), Scott SMART (FIM WorldSBK Technical Director) and Daniel CARRERA (WorldSBK Executive Director) met in the Dorna Headquarters, in Madrid, on 30 November 2018. The Superbike Commission made the following changes for the 2019 FIM Superbike & Supersports World Championships Regulations:
Sporting Regulations
- The new schedule of practices sessions and races has been reviewed. This important decision has already been press released recently. (re: PR of 11/12/2018).
- Race Classifications in case of crash(es) just before the finish line:
Previously, in order to be qualified as a finisher, the rider had to be in contact with his machine when crossing the finish line. There have been situations when, due to a crash, the rider and machine have crossed the line separately. The finish time will now be determined by the first part of the rider or his motorcycle, whichever crosses the finish line last.
- Riders classified to Restart an interrupted Race:
With a similar philosophy as was done in GP, It was decided to refresh the rules for the classification after an interrupted race and to clarify the situation of the riders in the pit lane when the red flag was displayed.
After a judicial case where the CAS arbitrator decided to enter in the field of play and to decide if a rider was actively competing at the time of the red flag, it appeared necessary to establish clearer criteria on which riders may restart an interrupted race. The main changes concern the definition of a rider "active" and "actively competing" at the time of the red flag, of riders riding on track, or attempting to repair/restart the machine, or to re-join the track or return to pit lane. It was also confirmed that riders may obtain assistance from marshals to restart the machine or to move the machine on track, or trackside.
Furthermore, the FIM WSBK Stewards will be the sole judges of whether a rider is actively competing and such decisions are not subject to protest or appeal.
- Forbidding to start machines in the pit box.
For Safety reasons it is not permitted to start the engine of a racing motorcycle inside the pit box at any time. Engines must be started in the pit lane, outside of the pit box.

FEDERICO FULIGNI AND MV AGUSTA REPARTO CORSE
TOGETHER IN WSS FOR THE 2019 SEASON
MV Agusta Reparto Corse Team, which will be participating in the
World Supersport Championship, has chosen Federico Fuligni for
the 2019 season. The Italian rider will join already confirmed
Raffaele De Rosa.
After last season as a rookie in the Moto2 World Championship
with Tasca Racing Team, Federico now tackles a new challenge,
once again as a rookie, in the World SSP600 Championship.
Fuligni commented: “After a difficult season in Moto2, I was looking
to jump start my career as a rider and I evaluated various
opportunities along with my coach, Alex De Angelis. One of those
opportunities was the project that Giovanni Cuzari has been
working on for some time now with the MV Agusta F2 in the Moto2
World Championship, where I will be involved as a third rider, and
it came up as we were speaking. Everyone has had very positive
things to say about the team, made up of highly experienced
people who are, above all, passionate about their work. So, it
didn't take much at all to reach an agreement with Andrea
Quadranti, because we both want the same thing, that is results.
MV Agusta is already a key player in this category, and sights are
set on victory. I am seeking redemption after a difficult season,
where the results were lacking partially for physical reasons.
Motivation is high, and I want to work hard with the new team to
achieve excellent results for myself and, above all, for all the fans.
I am proud to represent this glorious brand in this category that
uses a 3-cylinder engine, just like the new Moto2 bike, a category I
will try to get back to as soon as I have achieved the right results.”
Andrea Quadranti, MV Agusta Reparto Corse Team Principal: “I'm
happy to be able to welcome a young a promising rider to our team
like Federico, with such a great desire for redemption and to get
into the game in a new category. On our part, we will guarantee
maximum support for both Federico and Raffaele.”

FIM renews agreement with XIEM as SuperMoto Promoter
The FIM is delighted to announce that it has renewed its agreement with the Swiss based XIEM company in its role as the official promoter of SuperMoto. The new four-year agreement will get underway this year with two events planned to re-establish this exciting sport on the World stage.

|
The 2019 FIM SuperMoto World Cup will be held as a single event at Montalegre, Portugal on 21 July and will include a new Junior Class for riders under twenty-three years old. This important competition will then be followed up by another equally note-worthy event - with Carole, France set to host the 2019 FIM SuperMoto of Nations on 22 September.
This year’s World Cup will provide the foundations and the launch pad ready for the series to evolve, and hence it will become the FIM SuperMoto World Championship in 2020 as it expands into new countries and continents.
“We are very pleased to have been able to reach this new and valuable agreement with XIEM, that will take us through to 2022. We are confident that with the good collaboration that already exists between the two parties, that XIEM and the FIM can reinstate this spectacular sport and develop it across new continents from next year onward.” Said the FIM President Jorge Viegas.
Adding his own remarks XIEM CEO Danilo Boccadolce stated. “Firstly, we would like to thank the FIM for showing their confidence in us, and for continuing to trust us with this great discipline. We are positive that we can use 2019 to put SuperMoto back on the map and are already working extremely hard to ensure that we will have a full programme in place for 2020 and beyond.”
