  "abstract": "In 2020, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) released a consensus statement recommending standardised methods for recording and reporting illness and injury in sport. A key component of this statement was the recognition that sport-specific extensions should be developed to provide more detailed recommendations tailored to individual sports and/or settings. In response, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Medical Commission convened a 15-member panel-comprising clinicians across multiple specialities, a sports scientist and two FIM delegates-to develop a consensus statement specific to motorcycling sport injury and illness surveillance. The panel reviewed existing consensus literature relevant to sport injury/illness surveillance and conducted two rounds of voting based on the IOC framework using a Delphi methodology. They then voted on key sport-specific recommendations to form the motorcycling sport-specific extension. The final manuscript was approved unanimously by all panel members after two rounds of revision. Relative to the parent IOC statement, this extension: (1) reframes injury categorisation and contact mechanisms around the combined rider-and-machine nature of motorcycling incidents; (2) replaces symptom-based and pathology-based severity scoring with a time-loss model adapted to the sport's irregular competition calendar, including explicit handling of estimated severity and right-censored cases; (3) restricts exposure measurement to motorcycle-mounted transponder data rather than wearable devices, for safety and regulatory reasons and (4) introduces a discipline-specific appendix covering fall/injury mechanisms, demographic and equipment-damage variables and primary/secondary exposure and severity measures across circuit racing, motocross/supercross/supermoto, trial, enduro, cross-country and track racing. The motorcycling sport-specific extension of the IOC consensus statement aims to provide researchers and governing bodies with a standardised methodology to undertake injury and illness surveillance in motorcycling sport.",
