⭐ Introduction
StageMoto is participating in the 2026 European Cross-Country Rally Championship and is offering four places to riders who want to experience rally raiding within a structured, organised and realistic framework.
This project was born from a simple observation: a rally is not just about getting to the start line. It involves comprehensive preparation, an understanding of the race format, effort management and rigorous logistical organisation. All too often, riders discover these constraints once they are there, sometimes to the detriment of their safety or their enjoyment of riding.
The aim of Team StageMoto is to provide a structured framework that enables motivated riders to take part in a rally raid in the right conditions, while remaining in control of their own project. It is neither a ‘turnkey’ assistance service nor a commercial product, but an opportunity to share experience, pass on knowledge and progress.
Each rally will be approached as a project in its own right: advance preparation, paddock management, race strategy, adaptation to terrain conditions and feedback after the event. The idea is to enable the selected riders to truly understand what a rally raid entails and to gain useful experience for the rest of their careers.
Enabling motivated riders to participate in a European rally raid in a structured environment and with an experienced team.
Four riders integrated into Team StageMoto, spread across one of the four stages of the European Championship, with motorcycle transport, paddock access and on-site support.
Because the first rally is often won before the start. This project aims to teach the basics and share the experience with the most motivated drivers.
