After last year’s washout, this year’s event roared back to life with blazing sunshine, clouds of dust and over 1250km of high-speed, high-stakes outback racing

Blue skies, warm days and dust replaced last year’s rain at the 2025 Condo 750 navigational race held over 3-5 April.

The Prologue took place on the Friday afternoon with local rider Todd Ridley setting the pace after a short 62km lap around the outskirts of Condobolin in Central NSW.

Todd Ridley was in a class of his own, dominating all three days (Above). Mark Blake finished seventh overall and won the Masters class (Top).

With a healthy field of almost 50 riders, there was plenty of outback action with a total distance of over 1250km to be covered in three days.

An early start on the Saturday saw the riders head out on the first of five competitive sections for the day. Ridley had a dust-free run, starting in first place – but a dodgy ICO antenna made navigation a challenge.

Although rookie Gregory Prisk was no stranger to fast riding he now had to add map reading into the mix. Topping a rise at over 160km/h, he quickly realised a turn to the right was needed to avoid the fence, but the dry skatey surface didn’t allow enough time and Pisk ultimately found himself on the wrong side of the barbed wire, losing valuable time.

Corey Banks started the day in second place, however a few navigational errors pushed him back to eighth by the end of the day.

Scotty Huggins copped a five-minute penalty during the Prologue but showed his riding skills by ending the day second overall after starting back in 15th place.

The Sunday morning was a dusty start with very little wind. Prisk miscalculated a call just 4km from the start, and a big off put an end to his first Nav race.

Last year’s runner-up Zac Manwaring had worked his way into second place by halfway through the day. However sisaster struck just 9km from the finish when a broken chain had him trackside undertaking repairs while his podium finish slipped away after 800km of racing.

Liam McConnell was flying the two-stroke flag aboard his KTM 300, putting in a solid ride to finish third on both days, securing third overall.

Banks battled it out with mate Scotty Huggins, but his combined times put him on the second step of the podium. However, it was Ridley with the big smile when he finally had a chance to taste victory with superb riding over the three days.

After half a dozen attempts, it all came together for Ridley in 2025, taking home the Number One plate.
