The paradox. Giovanni Copioli is a motorcyclist, 'geographical' and by passion. Practitioner. Even before he was in the studio or office, friends used to meet him on the mule tracks, often in races. Now that he is president, you have to be very lucky to see him on a motorbike. Being president is a responsibility that does not allow for downtime, or even too much free time. So now that he is president, he gets to ride motorbikes much less, very rarely.

Not that he feels unlucky, at most just regretful. The lucky ones are in fact all of us, who have elected a motorcycling president, or dare I say it, motorcycling president, to lead us, eliminating the hyphen that is still a spacer.

Giovanni Copioli, president since 2017 (and FIM vice-president) has strengthened the team and the schemes, he has taken the field on all kinds of 'terrain', from mule tracks to the even less easy... institutional and political tables. In addition to those of the MotoGP Champions League, the FIM can boast a stratospheric list of champions from the golden age. The activity is also constantly focused on the issues, often on urgently practical backgrounds, of less 'showy' topics such as Mototourism, Epoch, mobility, urban and road (also in regulatory and code versions).

We can speak, with good reason, of a fruitful all-round commitment!
