Background
The Ride Green Cup represents a key initiative to promote sustainability across grassroots motocross competitions and other events, engaging young riders, teams, and local communities.
By integrating environmental awareness and practical actions at entry level, the initiative contributes to building a culture of sustainability from the earliest stages of the sport. This project also reflects recent efforts to strengthen the competition framework through updated regulations developed by the Commission Director.
