Before the 2011 IFMXF FIM World Championship season starts with the opener in Turin the upcoming weekend we had a quick chat with the current IFMXF FIM World Champion Libor Podmol about a successful year 2010 and his plans for the future.

Hey Libor, you are the current IFMXF FIM World Champion - how does it feel being the number one after three world vice-champion titles?
It feels pretty good :-)

You are a proud daddy now. How does it feel having responsibility for a (prospective upcoming FMX star) baby? Feels good, too. That little guy is amazing!

Who is taking care of the boy, when he cries in the middle of the night?
He doesn't cry, or I sleep too deep :-)

What are your 2011 goals?
Defending the WC title, get into X-Games and X-Fighters, ride MOD, Dew Tour and Extreme Freestylers Tour.


Do you have planned to train in the USA this year?
I will go there second half of March, to see my boys!

The first stop of the IFMXF FIM WC is starting in Turin, February 19th. A lot of young riders (for example Maikel Melero and David  Rinaldo) are on fire. Do you think the comps are getting tough in 2011?
