Riabko commented on the news from Lithuania:

I had a fantastic 2018 season, winning the European Championship in my home race, and finishing 3rd in the World Championship.

It was amazing.

To receive my Bronze Medal together with my two friends, Alberto and Rashid in Monaco is a huge honour for me.

My wife and I are really looking forward to the event.
