Tre Whyte
British BMX racer Tre Whyte backed himself all the way to bronze at the 2014 BMX World Championships after British Cycling dropped the Peckham rider from their squad. It was a remarkable achievement for the youngster who had grown up riding BMX bikes with his brother, Kye, in Brockwell Park, close to his home in south London.
Today, Tre is giving back to his local community, helping the next generation of BMX riders reach global podiums.
Francisca Chirigin
Hailing from Chile, Francisca Chirigin is a true trailblazer for women in the South American motorcycle scene. A trained commercial engineer with a master’s in management, she picked up professional motorcycling at the age of 20 but took some time off when she became a mother, as well as, when the Covid-19 pandemic put the world on halt.
She returned to competitive racing in 2021, most recently coming in 2nd place in the GP3 Chile – as the only woman among a roster of men. She has also been racing in the Italika Women’sInternational Cup in Mexico, where she came in 3rd place in 2024, despite breaking her collarbone and missing the final two races. When she’s not racing, she’s selling her very own motorcycle suits from her brand Chirigin which she designs and imports herself.
Anish Shetty
Anish was 15-years-old when his father bought him his first motorcycle. In those early days he would spend hours in a workshop close to his home tuning his machine and racing against his friends. His rise through the ranks of Indian motorsport was imperious, as his off-road exploits landed him 20 podiums in just two years. From there, Anish switched to circuit racing and won multiple Indian national championships. He graduated to the Asian Road Racing Championship and became the first rider from India to score points in the series. Since then he has competed in cross-country rallies and won the Desert Storm Rally.
The growth of motorsport in India and the number of participants actively taking part has led the 30-year-old to establish the 44 School of Racing in his hometown of Bengaluru.
