BREAKING: Liam Everts donates $60 million to develop youth and amateur motorcycle racers, forever changing the racing landscape.
In a momentous and touching news that has sent shockwaves throughout the worldwide motorsport community, renowned Belgian motorcycle racer Liam Everts has donated a stunning $60 million to assist the development of children and amateur motorcycle racing programs. This momentous contribution is not only one of the largest in the sport’s history, but it is also being heralded as a watershed moment for the future of two-wheeled motorsport.
Liam Everts, well renowned for his composure, passion, and deep-rooted family legacy in motocross, said the decision originated from a desire to give back to the sport that has defined his life since boyhood. The son of 10-time world champion Stefan Everts and the grandson of motocross icon Harry Everts, Liam is no stranger to the pressures and the beauty of professional racing. With this transformative gesture, he hopes to ensure that the next generation of racers has the resources and opportunities to excel, regardless of their background or financial situation.
“I’ve been fortunate to grow up in this sport, surrounded by support and opportunity,” Everts stated at the announcement. “But I understand that not every young rider has the same access. This is about leveling the playing field, making sure that every child with a dream gets a chance to pursue it, regardless of where they come from.”
The $60 million fund, which will be overseen by a newly formed foundation called Ride Forward, will support grassroots racing initiatives in Europe, North America, and chosen regions of Africa and Asia. The program will give young cyclists access to high-quality equipment, protective clothing, professional coaching, racing scholarships, and mentorship opportunities. Special emphasis will also be paid to marginalized communities and female riders, thereby increasing diversity and inclusion in the sport.
Motorsport leaders and athletes have hailed the decision, with several describing it as “a game-changer.” The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) praised Everts’ visionary leadership and dedication to the sport’s long-term viability and growth. “Liam Everts has not only proven himself as a fierce competitor but now as a steward of the sport’s future,” according to the statement.
Following the announcement, social media erupted with followers from all around the world expressing their respect and gratitude. “This is why Liam is one of the most respected figures in the paddock,” a fan said. “He doesn’t just ride for himself—he rides for the future.”
Everts’ program is set to begin its first youth camps and training facilities early next year, with ambitions to grow annually. The organization has already worked with former champions, instructors, and equipment suppliers to provide full support to future riders.
In a sport known for its speed, Liam Everts has slowed down just enough to make an impact that will last a lifetime. His $60 million gift is more than just a donation; it is a legacy that could inspire future generations.
