Breece Sweeps Toronto Arenacross T he fourth and fifth rounds of the 2025-26 AMA/FIM Aren- across Championship visited the International Center in Toronto, Canada, on January 9-10 for two exciting nights of racing, featuring three main events in a unique triple-crown format. Drama in the AX Pro division was at an all-time high after last week's action with Ryan Breece and Cole Thompson, the top two in the championship points, and both riders were ready to duke it out on track. In the end, though, Breece swept all six main events and further extended his points lead. On Friday night, the MotoCon - cepts Racing Honda machines of Austin Politelli and Breece ran up front early in main number one. Politelli grabbed the hole - shot and led the opening laps before Breece powered past him through the whoop section. Breece looked strong in the whoops all night long and used the same area to make the most of his passes. After he made his way around teammate Politelli, Breece cruised off to the open - ing win of the night, with Politelli and Thompson rounding out the podium. Politelli started up front with another holeshot in race two, but once again his teammate Breece forced the issue with a fast run through the whoops early on in the race. This put Breece into the top spot, where he was untouch - able for the remaining laps. Po- litelli and Breece held on to the final two spots on the podium. Race three proved to be the best one of Friday night's action. Canadian native Julien Benek took the holeshot and put up a strong fight against Breece and Thompson at the front of the field. The Kawasaki-mounted rider went toe-to-toe with the series' top two racers. After multiple block passes, Breece finally made his bid for the lead and earned a clean sweep of all three main events. Politelli snuck his way past both Thompson and Benek and went 2-2-2 on the night. Thompson's 4-3-4 results still put him third overall. Saturday night's round five proved to be nearly a carbon copy of round four as Breece WIND IN THE P46 Ryan Breece dominated the Toronto doubleheader Arenacross.
