Christopher Mills has shared an update on his career, and at the moment his future remains uncertain. It is still unclear whether we will see him back behind the start gate next season.
Read his full statement below:
Update on My 2025 Season
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my situation, as many of you have noticed, I haven’t been at the races recently.
The season started off really strong. I was building momentum, felt sharp, in the best shape of my career, and putting in some solid results. Unfortunately, the week after Blaxhall, I had a big crash during practice in Wales and injured my hand.
At first, it didn’t seem too serious. The X-rays showed no fractures, so I thought I’d be back quickly. But the pain stuck around, and I soon realised I was struggling more than expected. I kept riding just to stay in the championship and collect points, but it became clear something wasn’t right.
Eventually, we found out it was nerve damage affecting the grip strength in my throttle hand. As you can imagine, not being able to properly hold onto the bars led to more crashes. I kept pushing for as long as I could, but in the end, we made the call to sit out the final part of the season. Riding in that condition just wasn’t safe or productive.
It’s been incredibly frustrating. I was feeling fit, strong, and ready to push, so to have the second half of my season cut short over something like this has been tough.
As of now, I won’t be racing in 2026. I don’t have a deal on the table, and I’m also at a point where I don’t want to keep spending my dad’s money to chase it. The old man is 63, and running our own setup has always come with its challenges, a lot of hard work and grit. He needs to wind it down a bit, and doing it this way just isn’t sustainable anymore.
I want to say a massive thank you to my parents and to everyone who’s supported me throughout my career, no matter how big or small, you’ve played a part, and it means a lot. A special thanks to Lee Webber, who gave me a bike this year and helped organise a lot behind the scenes, and to Gary Beale for all the prep work he did for us. I truly appreciate every bit of support.
There’s nothing planned at the moment, but my hand has healed up, so who knows what the future holds. Hopefully, I’ll see you all again soon. Thanks for all the support!
