ARA champion Semenuk to miss Overmountain Rally

Four-time American champion Brandon Semenuk will miss next week’s Overmountain Rally due to mountain bike commitments.
The Canadian star’s presence at the season-closing Lake Superior Performance Rally has also yet to be confirmed. Subaru USA Motorsports will field just one Subaru – Travis Pastrana’s WRX STI ARA25L – in Tennessee next week.
As the world’s most celebrated mountain biker – with a record five Red Bull Rampage wins to his name – Semenuk has to divide his time between two and four wheels. It doesn’t always make for the most straightforward diary; in 2022 he won LSPR to clinch his maiden ARA title, then took a private jet directly to Utah for the Rampage event running the same weekend.
With this year’s title sewn up with two rounds to spare, there’s less need for private jets.
