MAGGIORA (Italy), 24 September 2016 – Earlier this evening Youthstream President Mr. Giuseppe Luongo andFIM Europe President Dr. Wolfgang Srb were joined by one representative of each of the brands, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, and Honda, that will be competing to etch their names in the history books as the winner of the first ever Monster Energy SMX Riders’ Cup trophy, on stage to present the trophy itself to the media that are here at Maggiora Park for the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations presented by Fiat Professional.

The design of the trophy resembles the event in every facet of its creation. It’s prestigious, it’s modern and it’s unique, just like the Monster Energy SMX Riders’ and Manufacturers’ Cup that is set to rock the VELTINS-Arena, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, in less than two weeks time, on October 8th. The trophy will be much like the coveted Chamberlain Cup, in the sense that it cannot be kept for longer than one year unless it is won consecutively.
