What does it mean for a Moto Club like that of La Cerdanya to organize an event of this importance?
For us, setting up a race of this magnitude is the most we can aspire to. We believe that it will be a success that would not be possible without the help of institutions such as the Regional Council or the town councils of Fontanals, Puigcerdà, Ger, Bolvir and Queixans.
