THE RING OF CHAMPIONS — THE SEAL OF A SEASON, THE LEGACY OF VICTORY

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 7 October 2026 – Every season writes a new chapter in the history of motocross.  Through courage, sacrifice and exceptional skill, champions earn the highest honour our sport can bestow. When the final chequered flag falls, the Ring of Champions places an enduring seal upon their achievement.

Born in Ernée in 2015, this tradition began with the vision of Telemaco Cane, a devoted motocross enthusiast whose distinguished background in jewellery brought together artistic sensitivity, technical expertise and a profound appreciation of sporting excellence.  His idea expressed a powerful conviction: a World Championship deserves a lasting, personal tribute, created to preserve the memory of an extraordinary accomplishment. Drawing upon his experience in jewellery design and craftsmanship, Telemaco conceived and created these unique pieces with meticulous attention to detail.  His understanding of precious materials, form and finish gave tangible expression to the courage and dedication of a champion. 

Individually crafted in precious silver and personalised with commemorative engravings, each ring carries the memory of a victory and the identity of the rider who earned it.

Initially conceived for the MXGP and MX2 World Champions, the tradition grew to embrace the winning riders of the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations and, subsequently, the WMX World Champion. Its extension to WMX in 2022 marked a significant moment, bringing the same enduring recognition to the pinnacle of women’s motocross. 

For the individual World Champions, the ring honours the culmination of a season’s relentless pursuit of excellence. 

For the Motocross of Nations winners, it celebrates the exceptional bond between riders who unite their talent and determination in the service of their country.

Its presentation is the ceremonial seal upon the sporting season: a moment in which the intensity of competition gives way to recognition, gratitude and remembrance. Within each ring lives the story of the races contested, the adversity overcome and the ambition fulfilled.

From its origins in Ernée, the Ring of Champions has become a cherished expression of MXGP’s heritage, through Telemaco Cane’s vision and craftsmanship, successive generations of champions are united by a shared symbol of distinction, destined to preserve the memory of their achievements for years to come.

A season reaches its conclusion. A champion’s legacy endures. The Ring of Champions carries that legacy forward.
