Once again, this year, the Ride to FIM Awards series will set the stage for the journey leading to the FIM Awards, the Prize Giving of the FIM World Champions, which will be held on 6 December 2025 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Ride to FIM Awards – the future of Motorcycle project was first launched by the FIM in 2022, with the aim of promoting the celebration of the World Champions, through a series of events aimed at addressing issues of fundamental importance for the development of motorsport.
This year’s events, held in collaboration with host city and institutions, highlight key topics for the FIM and the world of motorcycling, while celebrating the legacy shared with the Canton du Vaud and City of Lausanne which welcome the event.
In readiness for the forthcoming series of three exclusive events based in and around the Swiss city of Lausanne, registrations are now being taken for the Ride to FIM Awards initiative that gives participants the opportunity to ask questions, gain insights and actively engage in discussions on the future of motorcycling and sustainability.
