Turkish Motorcycle Federation President Bekir Yunus Uçar said the following in his statement to Motorsport.com:
"Our country holds a place at the pinnacle of the world in motorcycle sports. Our national motorcyclists and hundreds of children and young athletes raised from our grassroots are representing us with pride by waving our flag on all the tracks of the world.
'MOTORCYCLE USE HAS BECOME A PASSION'
Interest in motorcycle sports in our country is increasing day by day, and the use of motorcycles among young people has now become a passion.
The successes and records of our national athletes, especially our national hero Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, have increased interest in our sport.
As a Federation, we always aim to provide the best opportunities for our clubs and athletes. We are carrying out our work in this direction.
'OUR ATHLETES WILL NOT HAVE TO GO ABROAD FOR TRAINING'
We will now be able to organize our track races, which have been a major problem for a long time, at the Istanbul Racing Circuit. Our athletes will not have to go abroad for training and education.
On this occasion, as the TMF family, we would like to thank Ms. Lale Cander and the entire Istanbul Racing Circuit Management, who wholeheartedly support our country's motorsports and provide the means for us to train many more national athletes."
