TEUTSCHENTHAL (Germany) 29th May 2026 – The FIM Women's Commission celebrated its 20th Anniversary today at the Liqui Moly MXGP of Germany, hosting a dynamic programme that brought together riders, industry leaders, and aspiring talents.
The day began with a highly popular FIM WMX Track Walk, attended by over 30 WMX riders. Multi-time World Champion Kiara Fontanesi, MXGP Academy’s Jan Postema, and Red Bull Ducati’s Factory MX Team riders Andrea Bonacorsi, Calvin Vlaanderen, and Ferruccio Zanchi joined the walk and shared their experience and strategic tips, fostering invaluable peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.
Following this, an engaging 20th Anniversary Panel Discussion, “20 Years of Growth and the Road Ahead,” took centre stage. The discussion reflected on the remarkable development of WMX, featuring contributions from WMX riders Larissa Papenmeier, who is set to contest her 100th WMX race this weekend in Teutschenthal, and 2025 WMX Champion, Lotte van Drunen.
They were joined by FIM Motocross Commission Director Antonio Alia, Infront Moto Racing Marketing Director Mariona Leiva, and Honda HRC PETRONAS Press Officer David Bulmer. Together, they offered diverse perspectives on the championship’s journey, its inspiring role for women and girls, and crucial strategies for future growth and collaboration.
The entire day underscored the strong unity within the women's motorcycling community, celebrating two decades of progress and reaffirming a shared vision for an even brighter, more inclusive future in the sport.
