Headline: UEM Funnybike Cup.
There have been a lot of questions here and by email about the UEM Funny Bike Cup Class for 2010. However, we're still in the process of negotiation with the organiser and will come up with a statement soon as posible.
The license requirement for the Funny Bike Cup will be a PromoSport License (not the `usual' UEM Championship requirement, and half the price) and start permission from the riders federation should they wish to race in a `foreign' event.
I am compiling an e-mail list for all UEM riders, please send me an e-mail with your name and e-mail address, and I will put add your details in order that you can receive direct news from the UEM.
