The President of the Consell de Mallorca meets with the International Motorcycling Federation, the promoter of the World Championship and Mallorcan riders on the occasion of the FIM Awards Gala to be held in Majorca

The presentation of the FIM 2024 Awards, in which Mallorca has managed to beat other candidate cities, will take place in Palma’s Palacio de Congresos. During the day, Galmés and Mas met with the president of the FIM, Jorge Viegas; with the CEO of Dorna Sports (promoter of the MotoGP World Championship), Carmelo Ezpeleta; and with the Mallorcan riders Joan Mir, Augusto Fernández and Izan Guevara.

The ceremony, which will be attended by the world motorcycling champions, will be accompanied by activities open to the public. On Saturday 7 December, in the Parc de la Mar, the hospitality truck that normally represents the FIM in the paddocks of circuits around the world will be set up. In the afternoon, many of the FIM World Champions will be in attendance, hosted by former MotoGP and Superbike rider Fonsi Nieto, and will also be available for signings and photographs.
President Galmés stressed that ‘it is a source of pride for our island, with a long and passionate motorcycling tradition, that the FIM has chosen Mallorca to hold its Awards Gala, this decision being a recognition of our commitment to elite sport and the quality of our destination, reinforcing Mallorca’s position as a first class sustainable tourist destination, and bringing this sport closer to all Mallorcans’.
