A 360-degree approach to learning Motocross. From the classroom to the track. The Academy will provide world-class tutoring from the top level of the sport with Professional Trainers Jan Postema and former World Champions Nancy Van de Ven and Martin van Ganderen. There will be training at the MXGP track, with sessions for parents and education classes too. Training on mechanical preparation, athlete nutrition, diet, track tutorials, safety, and sponsorship. The next day the riders will visit the manufacturers and meet the World Championship riders. They will have a chance to watch them in action on and off the track and to learn from them.
