Arenacross Support class Champions crowned in Birmingham!

Bendh

Champions were crowned in Birmingham as the Arenacross Tour’s penultimate round saw maximum points go the way of AX Futures star Joel Fisher, who sealed the successful defence of his crown, Supermini warrior Harry Lee, and AX65 flier John Slade, who lapped the entire field in the morning race within the Resorts World Arena. AX E5 star Roy Townley also just about did enough to seal the deal in the electric class as well!

Words: Ben Rumbold, Images: Arenacross UK

The supporting classes of the Arenacross UK Tour provided some exhilarating action at the Birmingham round, with the ProAm and Futures classes seeing several block passes and moves which left the crowd gasping. The amazing leaps of the unbeaten Slade, clearing the big finish line double jump when he had a track clear of lapped riders, left onlookers’ jaws slack with amazement!

John Slade is unbeaten and cannot be caught in the points chase, making him your 2024 AX65 British Champion!
