With just 60 days to go until the 2019 24 Hours Motos, fans of the iconic endurance race have kicked off an eager countdown. A key player in the world of motorcycle competition, FIM President Jorge Viegas has accepted the Automobile Club de l’Ouest’s invitation to give the official start at the 42nd running of the race, second round of the 2018-2019 FIM Endurance World Championship season.

FIM President Jorge Viegas : “I am very honoured to be invited by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest to serve as Starter at the 24 Heures Motos, an extremely important event on the FIM’s sporting calendar. This race holds a special place for me personally as I participated in the first edition as a racer back in 1978. This will be the first time I attend an endurance competition as President of the FIM and I can’t wait to be a part of such a legendary motorcycle race. I hope a great deal of media will cover this major event for our discipline in France, but also internationally. We need the media as their role is crucial in promoting and developing the image of our sport around the world".
