With just one month to go before the first gate drop on the 2025 Arenacross World Tour, the anticipation on what could easily be the best tour in the eleven-year history of the championship is growing.
In a new era for Arenacross, with the announcement of the first year of a World Tour, which will see the series climax at the awesome Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the depth of talent on display is without question the strongest in the history of the championship.
Round one of the Arenacross World Tour and ACU British championship at Birmingham’s BP Pulse Arena on Saturday 4th January will see genuine World class athletes lining up behind the start gate ready to go to battle for both of the Arenacross titles up for grabs.
Dean Wilson will be making his Arenacross debut racing in both the World Tour and ACU British championships and returning to his homeland of Scotland. It will be the first time ‘Deano’ will contest a full championship in Great Britain since he left for America, via Canada, as a youngster. He’ll have to bring his A game as he’ll his hands full with a plethora of top riders from across Europe all wanting to win as much as he does.
Defending Arenacross champion, Jack Brunell will be going all out to retain his, and Stark Future Racing’s first title and #1 plate and will be more confident than ever. Conrad Mewse will also be better prepared than he’s ever been as he’s now had his own AX track built to make sure he doesn’t leave any stone unturned in his quest to win his first pro ACU AX and World Tour championship. 2023 champion, Tommy Searle, will be making his racing debut for Triumph and will want to hit the ground running, both for him and the historic, iconic British manufacture. And if that’s not enough to whet your whistle there’s the likes of further previous champions, Frenchmen Cedric Soubeyras and the only rider to do the three-peat on titles, Thomas Ramette, also lining up to race the world tour championship, along with further British contenders in Dylan Woodcock, Elliott Banks-Browne, Ash Greedy, Joe Clayton, Eddie Wade, Matt and Chris Bayliss, Taylor Hammel, Steven Clarke, Martin Barr, Tom Grimshaw and the very first AX champion Adam Chatfield to name but a few!
And with more international riders to be announced for the World Tour rounds it’s no wonder there’s a lot of anticipation and excitement for the upcoming championships that will kick off the 2025 dirt bike season in Europe.
Varying ticket packages, including VIP Experiences for all six rounds of the ACU British Arenacross championship and the Arenacross World Tour Finals in Abu Dhabi are available on www.axworldtour.com
