Journey to a Dream - Craig Kennelly

Journey to a Dream

Monday, 14 July 2025 - 33 minutes

As we continue our focus on newcomers for Manx Grand Prix 2025, today’s guest is Craig Kenelly, a rider who’s been making waves on the roads after years of high-level short circuit racing.

Since 2014, Craig has competed in BSB Superstock, Supersport, and the Ducati Cup, bringing a wealth of experience with him as he transitions to road racing.

He made his road race debut at the North West 200 in 2024, and returned in 2025 despite a huge crash just six weeks earlier in Portimão, where he suffered multiple complex fractures after a 100mph high-side.

Craig is now gearing up for his first appearance on the Mountain Course at the MGP this year, where he’ll be riding in the Supersport and Senior races for Ian Lougher’s ILR Racing team.

He’s also currently showed great form at his first Southern 100, where he took a third-place finish, an impressive podium in his first year at the event.
