ACU Statement: Illegal Riding

The ACU attack illegal riding in the UK.

Published

Those of you who have scoured social media throughout the lockdown would have seen that illegal riding has spiked in the UK lately, with a handful of different locations being hit. The governing body in the United Kingdom, the ACU, just released a statement on the matter.

Press Release

Despite the current lockdown, some people are choosing to flout the rules and risk the future of our sport by illegally utilising forestry commission land and private venues.

Illegal activity on forestry commission land is a criminal offence and puts all legitimate events at risk.

The ACU take a zero tolerance approach to this in partnership with the forestry commission, and local police. Anyone caught illegally riding on forestry commission land can expect:

– Your bike WILL be impounded under Section 56 by the forestry commission and police.

– You WILL be prosecuted for a criminal act by the police.

– You WILL be reported to ACU/AMCA head office for a termination of your competition licence. This will be shared with all authorising bodies.

If you have any information, you are encouraged to contact the police through 101.

The MX2 class is full of young and motivated riders and Lucas and Sacha Coenen will join them for Lierop. These talented twins regularly impressed in the MX2 World Championship last year and Lucas won his first Grand Prix in Indonesia at the age of sixteen.

A fifth place was his share in the final standings and he certainly wants to improve on that this year. Sacha also regularly showed that he has the speed to compete at the front. Highlights were his second place in the qualifying heat in Finland and top five finishes in the Czech Republic and Sweden.

In the deep sand of Lierop, the Coenen brothers will compete against riders like Kay de Wolf, Cas Valk, Hakon Osterhagen, Max Werner, Scott Smulders, Bradley Mesters, Hakon Fredriksen, Oriol Oliver and others.

Also in the 500 class we get fireworks with the participation of Jeffrey Herlings, Jago Geerts, Pauls Jonass, Calvin Vlaanderen, Brent van Doninck and others.

The weather forecast looks good, so the Dutch MX Season Opener in Lierop has all the ingredients to see a great day of racing.
