Following his stellar performance in securing bronze for the German national team at the Eisspeedway of Nations, Christoph Kirchner is now embracing a broader set of responsibilities. The 37-year-old showcased sheer determination by overcoming Andrej Divis in the decisive heat, a moment he described as the perfect end to the season, despite competing through a painful ankle injury.
Reported by Speedweek, that success has served as a catalyst for Kirchner as he prepares for the upcoming ice racing season. Although his training was recently hindered by a surgical procedure to remove a cyst near his cruciate ligament, the rider is optimistic about his recovery. "I have been walking without crutches for a few days now, and things are progressing quite well," he reported regarding his physical readiness for the campaign ahead.
Technically, Kirchner has bolstered his garage by preparing a second motorcycle to better manage the demands of the World Championship qualifiers. His strategy includes a training camp in Sweden starting in January, which will also serve as his base for competing in the Ostersund league. Logistical challenges remain, primarily due to the uncertainty surrounding the European Championship calendar, requiring him to carefully manage his equipment transport between Germany and Sweden.
Off the track, Kirchner has taken on a significant new role as a riders' representative. "I was elected last summer, and I now have direct contact with the Eisspeedway expert committee," he explained. This position provides him with the platform to advocate for his peers' interests in official forums, such as the upcoming ADAC Bahnsporttagung in Leipzig.
Kirchner's primary objective is to push for structural improvements in the qualification processes and allocation of championship slots. "I want to push for greater support for us riders. We need to be more sensible in the allocation of World and European Championship spots without creating a two-class system," he emphasized. For him, the ultimate goal is to ensure that the riders selected for European competitions are those with the genuine potential to challenge for the title.
