Frits Kiggen

Frits Kiggen is a retired Dutch sidecarcross passenger who won the world title in 1981 together with his driver Ton van Heugten, in the second year the championship carried the FIM World Championship name. Before that he won the 1975 European amateur sidecarcross championship, riding in the sidecar of Jan Nouwens, and he took the Dutch national sidecarcross championship twice, in 1979 and 1980. A broken collarbone kept him out of four races during the 1981 season, when Sies Hurkmans replaced him, yet the title still went to Kiggen and Van Heugten. He finished as world championship runner-up in 1984, kept racing with Van Heugten until 1986, and ended his world championship career in 1988 as passenger to Jan Bakens. Away from sidecars he also entered the Dakar Rally, in 1982 and again in 2004, 2005 and 2007 in the truck category for GINAF.
