Monster Energy has a unique and unmatchable bond with the sport of motocross, its fans and its special vibe and it will be a strategic partner in elevating the sport to new heights. Monster Energy will be instrumental also to the worldwide harmonization of this fantastic sport. We are extremely glad to welcome Monster Energy onboard as leading partner of the series.”
