Archie Connor might be one of the most exciting young rally talents coming through Australia right now and revealed his latest singing with Kove! Fresh out of high school, working full-time on the family farm and with an unusual racing background that doesn’t include a single motocross gate drop, Archie has gone from racing his first Pony Express at 11 years old to winning the 2026 Sunraysia Safari. In this episode of the ADB Podcast, we find out how a young bloke from the banks of the Murray has become seriously fast with a roadbook in front of him.
Archie talks about his unconventional path into racing, the influence of his family, how working on the farm has surprisingly helped his rally riding and the lessons he’s learnt from mountain biking and other sports along the way. We also break down his breakthrough 2026 season, what it took to win the Safari, the art of racing flat-out while navigating and, most importantly, where he wants to take his rally career from here.

What happens when three everyday punters decide to take on the Australian Enduro Championship season? In this episode of the ADB Podcast, we sit down with three Vets riders who did exactly that — including one bloke who had never raced a motorcycle before. What started as a challenge quickly became one of the best experiences of their lives, travelling around the country, riding places they’d never normally see and lining up at some of Australia’s best enduro events.
We talk about the reality of racing a full AEC season as normal working blokes — the travel, costs, preparation, fitness, crashes, laughs and just how bloody fast the front-running Vets actually are. More importantly, they explain why the championship became about far more than results, with the road trips, new mates and experiences along the way every bit as memorable as the racing itself. If you’ve ever thought you’re not fast enough or experienced enough to have a crack at AEC, this episode might change your mind.

Wil Ruprecht is back on top of Australian enduro racing. After narrowly missing the Pro Enduro crown in 2025, the former EnduroGP World Championship runner-up came into 2026 on a mission, winning the opening seven rounds outright and building a championship lead that would eventually be seriously challenged by Korey McMahon. In this episode of the ADB Podcast, Wil takes us through the highs and lows of his championship-winning season, the areas he worked hardest to improve and the pressure of taking the title fight all the way to the final weekend.
We also look beyond 2026 and dig into Wil’s incredible career — from leaving Australia to take on the world, finishing runner-up in the 2022 EnduroGP World Championship and eventually returning home to race full-time in Australia. Wil talks about how much he’s changed as a rider, the strength of Australian enduro right now, whether another overseas campaign could ever tempt him and what’s left on the bucket list now that he can call himself the 2026 Australian Pro Enduro Champion.
