Ethan is from Bishops Waltham. Something many fans don’t know is that he began his cycling journey in BMX racing, where he became 2nd in the world at just nine years old.
He also claimed numerous national championships before switching to downhill racing at age 15—just three years before becoming Junior UCI World Cup Champion in 2020. Ethan’s biggest career achievements so far include his BMX results: World #2, two‑time World #6, and five national championships. In MTB, his achievements include becoming the Junior UCI World Cup Champion in 2020, earning a Junior UCI World Cup win, taking 2nd place in Elite at the Mont‑Sainte‑Anne UCI World Cup in 2023, and winning bronze at the 2023 European Championships. His daily routine starts with waking up and having a coffee, followed by walking his dog. He then spends 1–2 hours in the gym before heading out for an e‑bike or road ride in the afternoon (or on the trainer if it’s raining in the UK!). After training, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and his dog, Dottie. He also tries to ride downhill twice a week.

All formats are yet to be decided with plenty of twists and turns still to come in the race for the overall
Ella Conolly strengthened her grip on the Women Elite title race, while Ryan Gilchrist (Yeti / Fox Factory Race Team) claimed a maiden UCI Enduro World Cup victory and Lief Rodgers moved to the top of the Men Elite standings following Alex Rudeau’s disqualification. Elena Frei delighted the home crowd with a breakthrough win, as Hugo Marti Montessinos and Speed Project mathematically secured the Junior Men’s and Teams overall titles respectively in Aletsch Arena-Bellwald (Switzerland).
The battle for the UCI Enduro World Cup titles took a dramatic turn in Aletsch Arena–Bellwald as overall men’s leader Alex Rudeau was disqualified and women’s contenders Raphaela Richter and Winnifred Goldsbury were forced to withdraw, reshaping both championship races. While Sławomir Łukasik seized control of the men’s event and Leif Rogers moved into pole position for the overall lead, Ella Conolly delivered a commanding performance to move within touching distance of securing back-to-back UCI Enduro World Cup titles.
