Taia Little wins 2025 BTR Flat Track Championship in Gripping Season of Racing
ELDON, Mo. (Sept, 15, 2025) — The Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race. (BTR) Flat Track program held its
final race of the 2025 season at the Lake Ozark Raceway in Eldon, Missouri. While the Missouri weather was
hot, the racers were dialed in and determined to show how much they have grown over the course of the season
in this final weekend of racing.
In a head to head battle for first place, Madicela Rodgriguez narrowly bested Taia Little by just 0.009 seconds
in the first race of the weekend. The victory marked Rodriguez’s second win of the season, while Emma
Gottsch rounded out the podium with a third-place finish. In the second race of the weekend, Little capped
an impressive season with a win. In a slight re-shuffle of the podium, Gottsch was next in line followed by
Rodriguez.
With her win this weekend, Taia Little claimed the championship for the 2025 Build. Train. Race Flat Track
program, marking the first time a Canadian has won the honors. Gottsch and Rodriguez finished second and
third, respectively. Outside of the race results and standings, all of the riders showed marked development and
growth over the course of the season.
“After a season of competitive racing, this was such a great way to send off the Flat Track program in 2025,” said
Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield. “The weather was not exactly comfortable, but
that didn’t deter anyone from giving it their all on the track. We’re extremely proud of how all the riders have
grown this season, while still remaining supportive and competitive at the same time. Already counting down
the days until next season.”
Now in its fifth season, Royal Enfield’s Build. Train. Race. program is the first of its kind– an all-woman
initiative that teaches building and racing motorcycles. The program format brings riders together from various
backgrounds to compete in different track events, uniquely highlighting women and motorcycle culture in
North America.
The 2025 BTR season has concluded, but the program expects to return in full form in 2026 to inspire
another set of racers to reach their full racing potential.. For more information on Royal Enfield’s Build. Train.
