The Lebanese Motorcycle Club and MV Agusta Lebanon held the country’s first lecture on “The role of women in motorcycle sport” at the Promenade hotel.
Attendees included Nita Korhonen, head of the women’s commission of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM), Ali Dagher, vice president of the Asian federation and president of the Lebanese Motorcycle Club, Ziad Richa, general manager of Bikers Pro Lebanon, and a large number of Lebanese women riders.
The session covered ideas and activities that help women develop their riding skills and how the FIM can support them.
Korhonen gave a detailed presentation on the training camps run by the FIM women’s commission and encouraged riders to take part.
She also joined a motorcycle ride organised by Richa in the Metn region, which ended with her trying an off-road bike at the Montiverdi track.
