We look forward to see if this is true, as this would provide a greater visibility to the CMRC. But races are not just for professionals like **Mike Alessi, Ryan Villopoto, James Stuart** or **Chad Reed**. [![Chad Reed, James Stuart, Mike Alessi, Ryan Villopoto](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPN_MX-summer.jpg?width=642&height=520&name=KPN_MX-summer.jpg)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPN_MX-summer.jpg) In almost every association, there are a multitude of classes to suit all levels, all ages and sexes, in short, it is open to everyone!
