Mathis Ragot Richard, European Champion and finally heading to the Worlds

He brilliantly claimed the Elite European Champion title in Valmiera, delivering a perfectly executed race. A prestigious victory that rewards years of hard work, perseverance, and passion and above all, marks a turning point in Mathis Ragot Richard’s season.

Despite not being officially selected by the French national team, Mathis took matters into his own hands. Thanks to his recent results and consistent performances on the international circuit, he finally earns his spot at the Elite World Championships. A well-deserved reward for a rider who never stopped believing.

Mathis has waited seven years for this moment. Seven seasons of fighting, progressing, and facing the best without ever backing down. Today, he’s ready. Ready to take his shot on the world stage — with determination and humility.

Mathis is about to write one of the most important chapters of his career.

LFG Mathis

Pride Wave CFR x SX-R

Mathis rides with Pride Racing Wave rims and Control hubs, using a 15 mm rear axle and a 20 mm front axle. On the tire side, the factory team relies on the Schwalbe SX-R in 47 mm, paired with Aerothan tubes, known for their lightweight and optimized rolling resistance.

This tire is the result of a close and long-standing collaboration with the Schwalbe team, developed specifically to meet the demands of high-level BMX Racing.

Personalisation

On the top tube, you’ll find the MRR mascot logo (Mathis Ragot Richard) — a nod to a nickname born after a memorable crash a few years back… and it’s stuck with him ever since.

Right next to it is the Inspyre team’s go-to phrase before every race start: LFG. Interpret it however you like — haha.
