EP#80 - Wil Ruprecht on the 2026 AEC and his first Outright title

Send us Fan MailWil 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.
