Passing of Jean-Pierre Moreau 1940-2026

The FIM Family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Jean-Pierre Moreau, born in France in 1940. A respected member of the Circuit Racing Commission (CCR) from 1981 to 1990 and in 1999, he served as CCR Vice-President from 1991 to 1998 and from 2000 to 2002. He then became a member of the FIM Public Affairs Commission from 2003 to 2022.

Jean-Pierre also chaired the FIM Europe Public Affairs Commission from 2007 to 2018, making a significant contribution to promoting safer and more sustainable motorcycling in Europe.

Alongside his international involvement, Jean-Pierre Moreau dedicated over fifty years to the French Motorcycling Federation (FFM), where he held numerous key positions. His involvement began in the 1970s with the Circuits Commission, which he later chaired, before serving as Vice-President of the Federation on several occasions. He was also a member of the FFM Executive Committee for over thirty years. Recognised for his exceptional commitment, he was named Honorary Vice-President of the FFM in 2023.

His expertise encompassed technical, regulatory, and disciplinary matters. He contributed to the development of sporting regulations, chaired technical bodies, and played an active role within disciplinary institutions, notably as President of the National Court of Appeal. Deeply committed to road safety, he also led initiatives in transportation and safety for over twenty years, promoting responsible motorcycling.

His dedication, professionalism, and strong sense of ethics earned him widespread respect within the motorcycling community.

The FIM family extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those in the motorcycling world who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.
