How to register for the 2023 European Aquabike Championships

The 2023 European Aquabike Championships will be held in Menen (Belgium) on August 27^th. And this is definitely a race to look forward for aquabike athletes, as the organizers are obviously paying much more attention to aquabike athletes as in previous World or European Championship races.

If you would like to compete in the Europeans but have not yet raced in an international championship race before, you might not be aware of how to register for it.

But it´s not the new World Champion who is now holding the top spot in the rankings.
