For the 2021 season, Athena will sponsor a brand-new and very exciting competition that will allow fans to vote for their favourite rider before every Grand Prix on MXGP Facebook and Instagram pages. A rider of the weekend will be chosen during each GP and the rider who receives the most points by the end of the season will walk away with the ultimate prize and be presented with the special award for ‘Best Rider of the Year Sponsored by Athena’!

With nearly 50 years of experience and international presence, the Italian company Athena excels in the manufacturing of high-quality motorcycle parts including gaskets, cylinder kits, pistons, connecting rods and clutch discs for the most modern racing engines and is a global leader for the design, development, and production of Engine Control Units (ECUs) under the brand name of GET. The company is made up of three divisions, Parts & Electronics, Industries and Sportech, all linked by a common goal: to offer the public top-quality products made with solid know-how and selected specifically for the customer.
