Visit from Kimi

ICE1RACING ready for Spanish Championship the next weekend – Kimi Räikkönen speeding up the training in Fuengirola

The motocross team ICE1RACING prepares for the first race of the Spanish Championship, which will be raced in Talavera near Madrid this weekend February 27th. Kimi Räikkönen took part of the training of the team in Fuengirola early this week.

The motocross team of Kimi Räikkönen, ICE1RACING opened the season ten days ago with a practise race in Alicante and is now already preparing for a new event. ”The season in Spain starts very early, since the teams are eager to test their conditions”, clarifies the team manager Kari Tiainen and continues ”here we have summer in the middle of the winter , so we need to take all the advantage out of that.”

The training center in Fuengirola, started by Kari Tiainen, has served as the training facility for many Finnish riders during the past years. ”Juniors spend their school breaks within the sport and stock good riding days before the snow melts from Finland”, says the ICE1RACING junior team leader Vesa Kytönen. Kytönen, who is also himself the world champion in enduro, works with the junior team of six young riders. ”The goal of the ICE1RACING team is to bring the sport back to the level it used to be in Finland. Training camps like this are the steps we need”, agrees Kytönen.

The owner of the team Kimi Räikkönen visited the junior team spring camp in Fuengirola early this week. ”Him being here is naturaly a bog thing for our young riders and gives them boost”, smiles Kari Tiainen. ”Kimi enjoys riding and spends a lot of time with the riders. I’m sure he leaves something for the riders to think about on his visits.”

Hello viewers, let's take it again, haha. Hello, after some silence I'm now starting to be ready to put these things in the net and I start with introducing the main team here in Fuengirola.

We have here like absolutely awesome settings for training and everything. First here is our brand new transportation equipment, it's cool. Here we can work, the mechanics can work on things and we can take some rest here. You hear more about it later. Okay, let's continue. The most important thing, our pride, The Team Sauna. We have to have a sauna to get a little relaxation in the muscles. Here is the head quarters, it's the main guys' place, here they make the crucial decisions, there's our 7-time world champion.

Let's continue, the locker room, there's a bit stuff all over, nothing more about them, coffee machine and Finnish coffee bought from the Suomi-shop, let's take a look in the fridge... actually everything has been really good here except for paella, a bit too much of shellfish and systems, I'm sure there's good too but shellfish paella... eeew.

Toilet, nothing more about that, upstairs, here we bake champions - I don't want to brag but (playing snooker).... actually here is something we all think is a damn cool thing, Rally Australia, it fits in our rally-spirited team but we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be 'professional' if we would go here back and forth with those toycars... so we didn't put it up at all.

After that we go to our workshop, this is a quite important training gimmick.

This is our pride, the motocross-department. There's my mechanic (Kimi Räikkönen) or actually he is my second mechanic.

That's about all, let's take the finishing speaks... thanks for watching it to the end, this is our workshop in Fuengirola for now until we move up to Belgium after the sun starts to show itself again in other places in Europe too. Thanks really for taking the time to look at this.
