Riders must also wear certified chest and back protectors:

The Auto-Cycle Union’s High Performance Academy (HPA) motocross programme has moved into a new phase, with coaches now working alongside riders at races in the UK and Europe.

Following the initial selection process and an early assessment camp, the current focus of rider development activities has shifted towards hands-on support at championship rounds, where riders Drew Stock, Lucas Moncrieff and Hayden Statt are receiving guidance in the competitive environment.

ACU Motocross Performance Director Mark Chamberlain and Head Coach Stephen Sword have already attended EMX rounds in Spain, Switzerland and Italy with members of the HPA squad. They’ve also been to the opening rounds of the MXGB series where their work has been supported by five-time British champion, Tommy Searle.
