Motorcycle racing in Russia is preparing to host the World Superbike Championship and this will contribute to the growth of the sport in our country in the best possible way.".

"Russia is one of the most important countries in the world, with a rapidly growing economy. We believe that the World Superbike Championship is the most suitable way to help the motorcycle market in Russia, with a plan that foresees the growth of young Russian riders internationally in our four categories.", for his part declared Paolo Flammini.
