2023 Arenacross champion Tommy Searle and former 250 AMA Pro Motocross champion and current Australian Supercross Champion, Dean Wilson will be racing at the 2025 British Arenacross Tour.
DEAN WILSON #15
The likeable and popular Scotsman will be no doubt be a big hit with the British fans, no more so than in his native country when the tour arrives at the P&J Live Arena in Aberdeen on Saturday 8th February. Although Wilson has spent the majority of his career racing on the other side of the Atlantic, he’s proud of his Scottish roots and when the opportunity came along to represent Great Britain at the Motocross of Nations he was honoured to step up to the plate and give it his best shot, which he did on the six occasions he raced for Team GB.
“I’m excited to be coming back to the UK to race the Arenacross World Tour and British championship and in particular going back home to Scotland to race” says the likeable ‘Deano’. “I’ve never raced a national championship in Britain and it’s something I’ve wanted to do before hanging up my boots and helmet. I’ve been watching the series for the last couple of years and seen Tommy (Searle), Conrad (Mewse) and Jack (Brunell) go at it and been thinking to myself, ‘I’d like to get out there and bang bars, join the party and have some fun with them’. Of course, I want to win the British and AX World Tour championships, I’m definitely not coming over to make up the numbers or as a show pony. Once the show starts and the gate drops I’ll be focusing on the win, but I also want to embrace the experience. From what I’ve seen it’s one hell of a show and I’m looking forward to catching up with all the British fans and a lot of my friends in the U.K. I’m genuinely pumped about racing Arenacross and coming back home for a while.”
TOMMY SEARLE #100
After a complicated thumb injury took him out of the running to retain his title in 2024, Tommy is back and hungry to add more Arenacross titles to his impressive resume which he’s built up during an illustrious career.
“I’m looking forward to getting back at it racing Arenacross” says an upbeat Tommy. “Obviously, it didn’t go to plan last year in trying to retain my AX title, so I want to try and win it back. It’s such a good championship to race and always fun, especially in front of so many fans. Racing and hanging out with Dean, Conrad, Jack and all the other Brits for another official British title and the international riders for the World Tour Finals in Abu Dhabi excites me and I think is really good for our sport in the U.K. I’m ready to get going on it and will be announcing my plans and team for 2025 soon.”
