Sofuoğlu, who had a holiday with his family in Erciyes and came to watch the championship, also had the opportunity to ride an ATV with his 4-year-old son Zayn.
Making a statement at Erciyes Ski Center, Turkish Motorcycle Federation (TMF) National Teams Captain Kenan Sofuoğlu said, “I came to Kayseri for races many years ago. Kayseri is truly among the most beautiful cities in Turkey, this is a fact. With its ways and development. "I came to the ski slope for the first time this year," he said.
Saying that he likes the ski slopes and hotel services very much, Sofuoğlu said, “As a family, we go skiing abroad in different countries. We came here with the invitation of Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality. We decided to watch the world championship and come with my family and use the ski slopes. Frankly, when we look at the hotel services and ski slopes in the countries I have visited abroad, an infrastructure has been built here that makes us say that there is no need to go to Europe anymore, it is really beautiful. "We skied with my family, we will also ski at night with lights," he said.
Kenan Sofuoğlu stated that Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality met all the criteria for the World Championship and continued: “30 athletes from 16 different countries will participate in the race. Bringing the World Championship to Kayseri means that it will be broadcast live in each of these countries and that these races can be held in Turkey. It is very important for both the promotion of Kayseri and the promotion of the country. The Federation made great efforts here. These races are not races that can be done easily, the infrastructure and the track need to be built. It is necessary to pass many criteria to get to the World Championship here. I think Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality has fulfilled these criteria completely, and the federation has brought it this far with a good organization. “We will watch the races with excitement and curiosity.”
Erciyes Inc. Sofuoğlu also met with the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Hamdi Elcuman, for a while and received information about both the races and Erciyes Ski Center from Elcuman.
