Copioli, IMF presidents: “I am astonished”

He also spoke about what happened John Copioli, president of the Italian Motorcycle Federation, stating: “I am astonished by what happened to Daniele Cirrincione, to whom I send my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery. It is not acceptable to risk your life in this way during a motorbike ride. Placing any obstacle - even a trap for poaching purposes - on a path where pedestrians, bicycles and motorbikes can pass is delinquent behavior. It is necessary to continue working to make it clear that the enduro rider is a resource for the territory: he protects it by collecting waste, restoring the race routes, maintaining the greenery. But not only that: motorcyclists are fundamental in rescue operations for people in the most inaccessible areas or in forest fire prevention. All these activities are recognised, also through Memoranda of Understanding, by the Local Authorities and the Police Force, who request our collaboration on several occasions".
