Haydock Finance continues support for British mountain bike champion

Haydock Finance has confirmed it will continue supporting British mountain bike competitor Ian Forsyth as he defends his British 4X Championship title across the 2026 season.

Forsyth has made a strong start to the ten-round campaign, currently sitting third overall after completing the opening two rounds of the championship, with events taking place at circuits across the UK.

Alongside his domestic campaign, Forsyth is also set to compete internationally in two World Championship rounds in the Czech Republic and Italy as he continues to build experience on the global stage.

The partnership forms part of Haydock Finance’s employee charity scheme, which supports a range of initiatives spanning community charities and individual sporting talent.

Lea Lawrence, head of marketing at Haydock Finance, said the business was proud to continue backing Forsyth during his title defence.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our employees champion people and projects that inspire them and create such a positive impact in the wider community,” she said.

“We are delighted to continue our support of Ian as he defends his British Championship title this season. His professionalism, determination, and consistency on track reflect the values we hold at Haydock Finance.

“We’re excited to follow his progress as he competes across the UK and represents British talent on the world stage in both the Czech Republic and Italy.”

Ian Forsyth said continued backing from sponsors remained important in a highly competitive championship environment.

“I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support from Haydock Finance,” he said.

“Having partners who believe in me and the journey makes a huge difference, especially in such a competitive championship.

“We’ve started the season strongly, and I’m fully focused on building on that momentum across the remaining British rounds and the upcoming World Championship events.”
