Mackay's BMX racing scene is buzzing with excitement as two exceptional brothers from the Mackay and District BMX Club, Dylan Secher and Beau Secher, prepare to represent Team Australia at the UCI BMX Racing World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. The world-class event is set to host over 8,000 talented riders from more than 120 countries, competing over eleven intense days of thrilling action.

The UCI BMX Racing World Championships, known for showcasing the best amateur riders worldwide, will provide an extraordinary platform for the Secher brothers to test their skills and compete against the world's best BMX racers.

Beau Secher will be vying for success in the fiercely contested 11-year-old boys' category, bringing his boundless enthusiasm and determination to the world stage. Meanwhile, his older brother, Dylan Secher, will be taking on the challenge in two classes: the highly competitive 12-year-old boys' category and the Cruiser 12 and under class. Dylan's impressive 8th ranking in Australia for the 12-year-old boys reflects his dedication and commitment to the sport.

The local BMX club expressed their admiration for the brothers' hard work and achievements, stating, "Watching these young athletes grow and excel in their passion for BMX racing has been truly inspiring.

“We are immensely proud of Dylan and Beau and wish them the best of luck at the UCI BMX Racing World Championships.

“They have worked incredibly hard for this moment, and we have no doubt that they will shine on the world stage."

The Championships will run from August 3 to August 13, promising spectators a thrilling display of speed, skill, and adrenaline-pumping action.

For those unable to witness the excitement in person, live streaming of the event will be available on SBS on Demand, allowing BMX enthusiasts and sports fans alike to follow the action from the comfort of their homes.

May the wind be at your back, and the thrill of victory be in your grasp. Go, Dylan and Beau!
