The ACU’s partnership with Berkshire Hathaway Speciality Insurance ensures riders, organisers and officials have access to the best insurance – and protection – in motorcycle sport. ✅

As the only national governing body of motorcycle sport in the UK, we have been able to secure cover that other permitting bodies don’t have access to. 👍🏼

Competitor benefits include personal accident cover that provides a hospital benefit after 72 hours in hospital rather than 14 days, while officials’ benefits include fracture care and physiotherapy in the event of injury. 🏥

Additionally, ACU-permitted events have a £40 million public liability cover as standard – a significant uplift from the previous two-tier system. 🏍️

🇬🇧 A new era for TeamGB Motocross begins in 2026 🏁

The ACU has confirmed a new unified national motocross structure, bringing together the British Junior World Motocross Championship and Motocross of Nations teams under one combined TeamGB programme. Creating a clearer pathway, stronger performance support, and a unified culture focused on world-stage success.

Led by TeamGB Motocross Manager Mark Chamberlain, the new structure aligns British motocross with leading European nations and successful ACU models across other disciplines, while opening fresh opportunities for commercial partners to support TeamGB MX riders.
