For the first time in 2025, we launched the WMX Inside Awards, giving fans the chance to vote and determine the winners across eight major categories in women’s motocross and enduro.
Voting was open for 10 days, and thousands of votes were cast. Your feedback and enthusiasm will be taken into account for the 2026 edition of the WMX Inside Awards.
Girl Motocross Rider of the Year 2025
Raycin Kyler wins the Girl Motocross Rider of the Year award with 29.8% of the votes.
The young American prodigy represented the USA at the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in France. Later in the season, she made history by becoming the first female rider to win a national title against the boys at Loretta Lynn’s. After moving up a category, she claimed another title and delivered standout performances at the Mini O’s. There is no doubt we will be hearing much more about Raycin Kyler in the years to come.
The podium was completed by Elsa Andersson Löf, winner of her second EMX Women 125 European Championship title, and Kyshara Das, who finished third.
Girl Enduro Rider of the Year 2025
After winning the first-ever Junior Women’s Enduro World Championship, Lorna Lafont takes home this award with 35% of the vote. The young French rider also claimed a bronze medal at the 2025 ISDE in Italy with Team France.

Winner of her second WMX World Championship title despite intense competition, the Dutch rider also added two AMA titles in motocross and supercross at the Mini O’s. A truly remarkable season.
