“I believe that an Enduro competition is one of the most complicated events to organise.”
Maurizio Micheluz is a rider, but, since 2015, he is also FIM’s Race Inspector for the Enduro competitions. He tells us how it is not at all easy to put together around 60 kilometres of off-road, and plan special tests, all of which requires necessary authorisations to make the events happen.
“Not to mention ISDE, when the kilometres are roughly doubled for three different racecourses.”

Maurizio is part of the Race Commission, which also includes Pedro Mariano, FIM’s Race Director, and the national Race Director.
