The racer uses EBC Brakes components on his Husqvarna motocross bike

Dubai-based off-road motorcycle racer, Alex McInnes, has been competing in the FIM Bajas World Cup recently – known for its unforgiving rocky terrain and challenging navigation.

Securing third overall in the Junior category of the Qatar International Baja, held towards the end of 2024, McInnes continued to excel as the opening race of 2025 took place in Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago.
McInnes proudly uses EBC Brakes’ Carbon X-Series motocross brake pads and CX Extreme motocross discs on his Husqvarna FC 450.

You can read how the weekend unfolded in his team’s own words below…

“Alex McInnes came close to a clean sweep at the opening round of the FIM Bajas World Cup and Saudi Rally Championship, missing out on the prologue win by just four seconds before delivering a dominant performance in the main stages to take the overall victory.”

Strong Start in Slippery Prologue

“The rally began with a short but technical qualifying stage, where Alex finished second. The terrain was slick, making it easy to make mistakes, and while disappointed not to take the top spot, he remained focused on the bigger challenge ahead.”

Stage 1: A Statement Win

“On the first full day of racing, Alex found his rhythm and dominated the stage, winning by a massive 10-minute margin. The fast, open terrain played to his strengths, similar to the conditions he trains in back home in Dubai. This result firmly put him in control of the overall standings.”

Stage 2: Navigating to Victory

“Despite the challenge of opening the road – meaning every competitor behind him could follow his lines – Alex still managed to extend his lead, winning the stage by another six minutes. Navigating flawlessly and maintaining a relentless pace, he crossed the finish line as the undisputed overall winner.

“This victory marks an incredible start to the season, setting the tone for what promises to be a thrilling year of racing at the highest level.”
