The best motocross track in Russia for sidecar motorcycle competitions was built by the VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, PJSC. This was announced at the annual event of the Russian Motorcycle Federation (RMF) in Moscow.
The prestigious "Sports Facility of the Year" award for the 2024 competition season was presented to Pavel Ivanov, head of the corporate club Tirus-Moto, operated by VSMPO-AVISMA. The track earned this high status by meeting numerous criteria, including proper track preparation, well-developed infrastructure, and amenities for athletes, judging teams, and spectators. Additional factors included public safety measures, medical support, and overall spectator security.

"Over the past four years, since Tirus-Moto became part of our corporation, we have made significant strides in developing motorcycle sports in Verkhnyaya Salda. Being recognized as Russia's best racing track is a testament to the improvements in our infrastructure, but we are not stopping here. We will continue to support the motocross section and strive to inspire young people to develop a passion for this exciting sport," said Dmitry Trifonov, CEO of the VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, PJSC.
Currently, 14 children and 11 adults train regularly at the Tirus-Moto corporate motocross section. The team includes six candidates for Master of Sports, three second-category judges, four first-class athletes, and three third-class racers, according to VSMPO-AVISMA's press service in a statement to RusBusinessNews.

"Our competitors for this award were cities renowned as motorcycling capitals of Russia: Irbit, Tara, Prokopyevsk, Anzhero-Sudzhensk, and Izhevsk. Competing against them and being a strong contender was already an achievement. The key factors in securing this recognition were the high ratings given by judging panels for event organization, the number of spectators, and our 40-bike starting gate. This setup allows us to host even world championship races right here in Verkhnyaya Salda," said Pavel Ivanov.

The first competition of such magnitude took place in this Ural city in June 2023. Verkhnyaya Salda secured the right to host the Russian Motocross Cup for sidecar motorcycles with engine capacities of up to 750 cc, competing against Kemerovo and Angarsk for the honor. Since then, the city has been officially included in the RMF's annual competition calendar as a designated host venue for national motocross championships. |
