Nataliya Lyubimova

A Muscovite who has been striking people by her motorcycle riding for 18 years already. Natasha’s professional way to motorsport is not less amazing: at school she used to combine aggressive basketball with, typical for girls, folk dancing and macramé weaving. At the same time she wanted to become a tram driver and then to travel for life. At last she chose a creative profession: she graduated from the All-Russian University of Cinematography with a diploma of a film producer, but started working as a photographer. She made her final choice after joining motor-racing! And now she can say with certainty “It’s my all” and not only in Russian but also in Italian learning of which is the main hobby of the twice champion of Russia. Since 2008 Natasha has been a pilot of the team “Yakhnich Motorsport”. In the history of Russian motorsport she is the first participant of The European Road Racing Championship.

Blitz-Interview for Natasha Lyubimova

When I was riding a motorcycle for the first time… I lost control of the bike and rode into the bushes)))

Most of all in Italy I like … cuisine, the Italian Language, friendly people and the feeling of holiday.

I think that the most important quality of a coach is …patience and ability to understand his pupils.

In order not to give in one must …think that it may be his one and only chance to show his worth!

Waking up …I am smiling!))

My mother … is my idol. I am grateful to her for understanding and support in my work and sport!
