Abu Dhabi, UAE – April 2025: Abu Dhabi is soon to host one of the most thrilling nights of the year as the Arenacross World Tour Finals descend on Etihad Arena on Saturday, July 5. With the championship on the line, the world's best indoor motocross racers and freestyle riders will battle for glory in front of an electrified crowd.
THE WORLD'S BEST RIDERS ARE HEADING TO ABU DHABI
Representing the prestigious AX World Tour Championships, a powerhouse lineup of elite competitors is set to bring a fierce mix of speed, skill, and raw talent.
Leading the charge is Dean Wilson, the current Arenacross championship front-runner. A former AMA motocross champion and one of the most respected riders on the global stage, the Scottish star, riding for Honda Wilson, has built a career on grit, resilience, and winning under pressure. Wilson's return promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
Joining him is British talent Tommy Searle, a multi-time Motocross Grand Prix winner and the 2023 Arenacross champion, now riding for Triumph. Known for his technical brilliance and fearless edge, Searle commands both the racetrack and the respect of fans worldwide.
From France, Cedric Soubeyras brings championship pedigree as the reigning French Supercross champion and a multiple-time Arenacross titleholder. Piloting his Kawasaki with relentless aggression and precision, Soubeyras is famous for keeping fans—and fellow racers—on their toes.
Also lining up is Jack Brunell, the 2024 Arenacross Champion and a true innovator in the sport. Brunell made history as the first rider in the world to claim a professional motocross championship aboard an electric bike, solidifying his place as a forward-thinking force to be reckoned with.
Also competing are some of the sport's most consistent and decorated riders: Thomas Ramette (France), a three-time UK Arenacross Champion; Adrien Escoffier (France), a two-time French Supercross Champion; Conrad Mewse (UK), the 2013 FIM Junior Motocross World Champion; Joan Cros (Spain), a multiple Spanish national champion and regular AMA Supercross contender; Adam Chatfield (UK), a former UK Arenacross and Brazilian Motocross Champion; and Matt Bayliss (UK), the 2022 AMCA 125 Champion and Weston Beach Race winner.
Together, these athletes represent the very best of global motocross talent, each bringing their legacy, fire, and fight to the final round in Abu Dhabi.

No love lost as Rangers say they will not give Celtic a guard of honour
Celtic's Daizen Maeda celebrates scoring their first goal REUTERS/Russell Cheyne/File Photo (Reuters) - Rangers will not give arch rivals Celtic a guard of honour when the Scottish champions visit Ibrox Stadium for Sunday's Premiership match, interim boss Barry Ferguson has said, keeping the fierce rivalry very much alive. Celtic clinched a 13th Scottish Premiership title in 14 seasons last weekend when Brendan Rodgers's side took an unassailable lead with four games to spare. Celtic also drew level with Rangers on 55 Scottish league titles each, a feat that will sting the blue half of Glasgow ahead of the Old Firm Derby. "It (guard of honour) has never happened in the past and there's been this huge clamour about it," Ferguson told Sky Sports. "If I put myself in the shoes of a champion, it wouldn't really bother me. "I think if you ask any of the Celtic players, I don't think it would bother them either. It's always been that way. Let's just continue that way." It was the same case when Steven Gerrard's Rangers clinched their 55th title in the 2020-21 season, with Celtic's then-interim boss John Kennedy saying they would not even clap their rivals who denied them a 10th straight title. "But one thing I will do is I will shake Brendan's hand and say, 'Well done for being so dominant,' as there's no doubt that's been the case this year and that's got to hurt," Ferguson added. "It certainly hurts me and the staff and it's got to hurt the players as well." Celtic's manager was relaxed either way about a guard of honour. "It's not in the rules that you have to do it. I think that when two clubs and the rivalry's so emotional, it's always difficult for the team that comes up short," said Rodgers, who has won four Premiership titles with Celtic in two stints. "I always think if you're a champion or not a champion, showing that humility to the other team, whatever the rivalry is, it's a mark of respect. "Celtic-Rangers is an emotional rivalry and if you come up short quite a lot then it can be a challenge for you and to justify that with your supporters. But, as I said, I'm a traditionalist." England, however, will stick with tradition. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca confirmed on Friday that his side would give newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge when they meet on Sunday.

Don't celebrate too much, Fenerbahce boss Mourinho tells Rangers
Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho reacts REUTERS/Murad Sezer (Reuters) - Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho told Rangers not to celebrate too much and that their Europa League round of 16 tie is far from over despite the Scottish side winning 3-1 in the first leg in Istanbul on Thursday. Rangers put themselves in the driving seat for a spot in the quarter-finals thanks to an early goal by Cyriel Dessers and a Vaclav Cerny double, while Alexander Djiku scored for Fenerbahce. Dessers also had two goals disallowed for offside. Mourinho was far from pleased with Fenerbahce's performance, saying they could have lost by more, but was adamant his side could mount a comeback in Glasgow next Thursday. "I think it's not fair to say we were very bad in defence, because we were very bad everywhere," the Portuguese manager told reporters. "Maybe you laugh, but for me it was a good result, because the way we performed the result could be bigger than this. "But if somebody later wants to ask me do I think it's over, no, I don't think it's over. There is 90 or 120 minutes to play. It's the only positive thing. And from this game, I don't take any positives. Everything went wrong. "The only thing I tell them (Rangers) is, don't celebrate too much because there is a second match. It's my only advice." Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson, who has been appointed until the end of the season to replace Belgian Philippe Clement, was keeping his feet on the ground. "There's no way that the tie is over. It was a great result for us tonight but it's only half time," the former Rangers captain said. "He (Mourinho) has got players that are really dangerous and can really affect games so there's no way that we think we're in the last eight. I would be an absolute idiot if I thought that because as I said, I've got respect."
