After a stellar performance for Team Great Britain at this year’s Motocross of Nations and hot off of winning this year’s Weston Beach Race, Conrad has set his stall out early on his plans for 2025 and going for the win on both Arenacross titles is very much on his radar as they are championships he’d love to add to his ever growing CV. He came close to winning an AX title in his debut year in 2023 where he finished just two points behind Tommy Searle before unfortunately not being able to finish last year’s tour due to injury, but now he’s back, fitter and faster than ever after an incredible year racing Jeffrey Herlings in the British Motocross championship, where although he didn’t win the war he did win several battles with the former multiple World champion. Proving on his day Conrad is a world class racer, as Arenacross owner and promoter Matt Bates has no doubts on.
“Conrad is undoubtedly the fastest rider in the UK right now, and as his speed proved at the MX of Nations, he’s capable of running with the best riders in the world. So, I’m proud to see that Conrad has once again committed to race Arenacross for his ever-growing fan base – a series that undoubtedly attracts every motocross and bike fan in the UK”.
Conrad himself is also pleased to be back for his third year of Arenacross on the spin and as he explains, he sees real value in racing the tour, especially with the expansion of the new AX World Tour for British based riders.
“I’m excited to announce I’ll be back racing Arenacross for 2025. I’ve had so many good memories and a lot of fun over the past two years racing the AX championship but have yet to win it. I really want to make it third time lucky and I will be working hard on getting prepared to come out swinging at round one in Birmingham and hopefully keep it rolling all the way to Manchester and start off next season with my first Arenacross title before heading off to Abu Dhabi for the AX World Tour finals, which is an incredible opportunity for us British riders.
“It’s an awesome series to be part of and I think every top level British motocross racer should have it on their race calendar. It improves your technique and sharpens you up for racing outdoors by having gate drops in the cold wet winter months. It always delivers on action and is an incredible show that puts us and our sponsors in front of thousands of fans in the warm and dry. The atmosphere amongst us all back there in the pit area is brilliant and it’s such a buzz to race it in front of all those fans. I’m really looking forward it again.”
You’ll be able to see Conrad and the rest of the riders to be announced on the following dates and venues.
