The stakes for Female riders: Why media coverage lags behind

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.
