Overview
- Authorities released Sunday’s final tally showing eight people detained, 85 motorcycles impounded and 331 traffic violations, with no deaths linked to the gathering.
- Toll-booth counts from CAPUFE recorded about 1,500 to 1,521 motorcycles this year versus 5,065 in 2025, a reduction of roughly 70% attributed to checkpoints and road filters.
- Following Friday night confrontations on the Costera Miguel Alemán, police and National Guard used tear gas to clear crowds in the Condesa bar zone, injuring at least one motorcyclist and a reporter and leaving dozens affected, including minors.
- The ride proceeded without municipal authorization, and a joint deployment of municipal and state police, the National Guard, the Army and the Navy set up highway and city checkpoints to control access and curb risky behavior.
- Tourism held up with hotel occupancy around 80.5% despite tighter controls, which state officials argue shows the crackdown protected visitor activity while avoiding last year’s deadly incidents.
