I think a program like Build.Train.Race is genuinely important. Not just riding, but building the bike with your own hands, learning from professionals, and competing on equal equipment. If 10 women get that push, more will follow behind them. Anyone can set off if they just get that one spark. This is a lovely initiative that gives that shape.

Just like the name Build.Train.Race says, it's a program that teaches you starting from building the bike itself.

What criteria are used to pick the 10 selected — probably a spread of experience levels too.

I believe you could apply even with no experience, so it's built around developing riders from scratch.

RE keeping a unique program like this running within MotoAmerica is quietly building up its reputation.

Equalizing the machinery really shows how serious this is as a development program.

10 women racing all 8 rounds on identical GT650s — a great format where raw skill really shows through.
