The Women’s Enduro World Championship should be the ultimate competition for the best female riders worldwide — after all, it aims to crown the top female enduro athlete. Yet the reality is far more complex. Many top riders focus on national series, and the diversity of off-road disciplines makes it difficult to unify a global championship.

The WMX World Championship should be the ultimate competition for all the best female riders in the world — after all, it crowns the best female rider globally. Yet the reality is very different. Many American riders prefer to stay in the United States. Some riders in the World Championship paddock are starting to speak openly about the system’s limits.

The two biggest men’s championships — the MXGP World Championship and the AMA Pro Motocross in the U.S. — dominate the scene. Other national championships are developing, but the battle for top riders is fierce between the two. For female riders, we are heading in the same direction, but I firmly believe women’s motocross should not simply replicate the men’s model. It is different — and it deserves a different approach.

In a motocross world saturated with male-centric content, female riders struggle to gain media attention despite structured championships like the WMX US with six rounds, the FIM WMX World Championship matching that format, and the Women’s Enduro World Championship at five rounds in 2026. International sites covering MXGP or Pro Motocross barely acknowledge them, limiting coverage to just two or three star riders per season, while national outlets do respectable but strictly local work. This meager visibility creates a major obstacle. Grids remain full, competition reaches unprecedented levels, and races deliver pure thrills, yet consistent exposure stays elusive.
