Since the etablishing of this Championship, the city of 35,000 people located in the southwest French has been given a FIM  Long Track World Championship final almost every year.

A very technical track, 504 meters length, completely out of character with its three corners, which in addition the characteristic of a public that pushed up the pilot pressure in the "cauldron". Marmande is appreciated but also feared by world riders.

Fans  forecasts don’t know where to turn in their bet .... Currently leader in the standings, Flying Finn Joonas Kylmakorpi has won this meeting once, in 2010.

German Martin Smolinski had won the final four of the  2011 FIM World Championship of Long-Track. Dutch  riders Theo Pijper and Jannick De Jong have often reached the top runners on the ring, and French riders will also have heart to do well in front of their crowd.
