Race Report: Downhill & Enduro Season Opener

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)

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.
