Aon Racing Kicks Off The 2026 Season

The season kicked off on multiple fronts for AON Racing, with riders competing in both the UK National Downhill Series and the Slovenian Enduro Series—marking a strong and well-rounded start to the year.

Rhyd-y-felin hosted the opening round of the UK National Downhill Series and served as a key pre-season hit-out ahead of the World Cup in South Korea in two weeks’ time. After a busy off-season of testing, it was the first real opportunity to put everything into practice under race conditions.

The weather kept things interesting all weekend, with a mix of rain and occasional sunshine, leaving the track wet, technical, and constantly evolving.

The team delivered a series of strong, consistent downhill runs:

  • Reece – 1st
  • Henry – 3rd
  • Hattie – 1st
  • Stan – 1st (Junior)

It almost can’t get better than that!

Meanwhile, over in the Slovenian Enduro Series, Vid took on a stacked field and came away with an impressive 3rd place, adding to a successful opening weekend for the team. The race was biggest ever for the Slovenian series, with strong international competition.

Altogether, it’s a strong start across both downhill and enduro disciplines, and a valuable step in preparation for the races ahead.

Thank you as always for your continued support — let’s get this season started!
