FIM Cross-Country / Bajas World Cup rules; bivouac Tierra Amarilla. Typically September; 2026 dates unpublished. Not part of W2RC (that's Ruta 40). ⚠️ amateur_friendly downgraded to false on 2026-08-12. It was true while difficulty is advanced/pro — logically incoherent, and unverified at source. On a field that can send a first-timer to a Dakar-class rally, the safe default when unverified is NO. entry_level is 'unverified': some of these genuinely have an entry-level class or route (e.g. Erzbergrodeo's Iron Road Prologue), and that nuance must be checked per event at the organiser's own regulations before amateur_friendly is set true again.
Risk, difficulty and history fields are an editorial and community reference compiled from public sources. They are not a professional safety assessment and not medical or insurance advice. Whether a rider is fit to enter an event is decided by the rider, their coach and the organiser.
