The RIDE GREEN CUP is a fun way to show our young riders the importance of incorporating sustainable practices into their sport and to give them all-round training on how to do it. The 2021 RIDE GREEN CUP will take place this weekend during the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in Megalopolis, Greece.
Athletes are the ideal people to set an example and to raise awareness in their communities thanks to their popularity and performances. To quote Ms Kattia Juarez, Director of the FIM International Sustainability Commission, “To be a real champion you must respect the planet.”
“Less plastic, more fantastic” is the theme chosen by the National Federation for this year’s competition:
The 2021 RIDE GREEN CUP is always based on an actual real-life scenario, this year namely the reduction of the consumption of plastic.
Moreover, the European Parliament has recently put in force a law that bans the use of disposable plastic, so we are asking our teams to avoid using these kind of items (glasses, plates, cutlery, etc.)
The 2021 RIDE GREEN CUP activities will take place over 3 rounds:
First round
The Team has to register on Instagram and post pictures and/or video of themselves helping the environment using a hashtag:
#RGCup21_nameoftheteam (for example #RGCup21_italia or #RGCup21_USA or #RGcup21_Japan, etc).
In the photos you will post you also must refer to the official page of Ride Green on Instagram –
@FIMRideGreen, @fimlive and @mxgp
This round will start as soon as the teams sign on at the competition and will end, like the other two rounds on Sunday 1st August. There will be a board placed in the paddock with the logos and information of the RGCup competition.
During the event, the members of the teams, (riders, mechanics, staff etc.) are all invited to show their commitment signing the board and shooting pictures or videos that must be published in Instagram using the hashtag mentioned above and by mentioning the official Ride Green account (@FIMRideGreen)
The Jury will count the likes and the number of posts/stories. The most influential team with the highest number of likes and posts, will win the round. The objective of this round is to raise awareness amongst the community and to become a positive influencer amongst their followers and fans.
Second round
The team with the best plastic free practices will win this round.
Third round
This round is based on the respect of the FIM CID Environmental Code (appropriate use of the washing area, the recycling points, use of the environmental mat, amongst others)
A jury will evaluate the results of the three rounds and whoever has the highest score will be declared the winner of the 2021 RIDE GREEN CUP.
Don’t miss out on the fun, come and join us for the RIDE GREEN CUP!
