“Every year it becomes more difficult to make a decision given the standard of the applications submitted. It is truly remarkable to see the efforts made by organisers, Federations, Clubs, Industry and Circuits to produce and ensure sustainable events. Each of them should feel like a winner as they they are inspiring examples for all of us and the future generations. My congratulations go to all the participants and everyone who has made Ride Green a reality. In the world of sustainability, everyone is a winner, as at the end of the day we are all living in the same house and riding on the the same track!” Katia Hernández FIM Director International Environment Commission

The FIM Environmental Ambassadors’ programme has created a significant impact since its launch in 2012 by sending environmental messages to a great number of fans and followers. The Ambassadors symbolise the future, commitment, awareness and respect. They are high profile individuals, leaders in their disciplines. Representing both genders and different countries and cultures, they each play an important role in motorcycle sport. All of them have lent their voices to tell the world that motorcycling is contributing to
sustainable development and that we respect the planet and the future generations. The FIM Environmental Ambassadors team is composed of : Randy de Puniet, Takahisa Fujinami, Marc Márquez, Valentino Rossi, Laia Sanz and Alex Salvini.
