Titles on the line as Belfast gets revved-up for two nights of Arenacross
By Team TMX on 11th Feb 26
The 2026 Arenacross Tour is gearing up for a thrilling finale at the SSE Arena in Belfast, where rounds two and three will bring the season to a close on the banks of the River Lagan. With championships still wide open across all classes, anything can - and usually does - happen in the unpredictable world of Arenacross.
Reigning British AX champ Dean Wilson leads the AX Pro standings after a flawless night in Birmingham. The Armor Vision St Blazey Honda rider delivered a stunning final-corner pass on Jack Brunell in the Head-to-Head Final, cementing his early advantage.
Brunell, the 2024 champion, sits second for Stark Future Racing, tied on points with Dylan Woodcock (Dirt Store Triumph), who will be desperate for better starts across Belfast’s six Main Events. Behind them, battles are equally tight: Adam Chatfield (AJP Racing) shares fourth with Eddie Wade (Dirt Store Triumph), while Matt Bayliss (J3M Shocktech) and Steven Clarke (Stark Future) lurk just five points back. Expect the pack fights to be brutal around the SSE Arena.
Team standings are equally tense. Armor Vision St Blazey MX hold a slender five-point lead over Dirt Store Triumph Racing, with Stark Future Racing another four markers back. The performances of Martin Barr, Eddie Wade, and Steven Clarke could be decisive for the team title.
The Pro-Am class delivered edge-of-your-seat action in Birmingham. Louis Brookes (Stark) leads by just two points over Welsh wizard Josh Greedy, while South African two-stroke hero Neville Bradshaw is five points back. Teenage Triumph rider Harry Lee is creeping up the leaderboard, with Callum McCaul and Belfast local Lewis Spratt ready to use home advantage. Belfast promises fireworks.
John Slade dominated the Supermini class in Birmingham, and it would take a major upset to unseat him in Belfast. Cameron Berry and Mason Staddon look set for the remaining podium spots, though Mason Brown, Corey Heffernan, and Frank Bishop could shake things up.
In the AX Mini class, Blake Marks-Bracey emerged as the standout, winning both races and holding an eight-point advantage. Finlee Pope and Preston Killoran are tied for second, with Roy Townley, Oscar Morris, and Harley Sims trailing closely behind - it’s shaping up to be a tense finale.
The E-Mini class saw Harley Patel dominate in Birmingham, carrying a 10-point lead into Belfast. Oliver Fostun is second, with Maddox Knifton, Cooper Swan, and Aliyas Westwick all within striking distance. With the unpredictable nature of electric racing, the standings could swing dramatically over two nights.
All of the top contenders have everything to fight for in Belfast, and fans can expect full-throttle action, intense battles, and packed arenas over both nights at the SSE Arena.
