Petr Polák is a Czech motocross rider who has competed in various European and international championships. He began his professional career participating in the EMX125 series, where he showcased his potential by securing several top-ten finishes.
Polák then advanced to the MX2 World Championship representing the JD Gunnex KTM Racing Team and also spent time with JM Honda. Throughout his time in MX2, he consistently aimed to improve his standings, facing off against some of the top talents in the sport.
After several seasons, Polák has decided to step away from professional motocross in 2025. He will continue to ride for fun.
Polak posted the news on social media:
Oh yeah! I’ve been silent since last year’s MXON. No need for big speeches. Last year after the last ADAC race and before MXON in England, it was great with me. The diagnosis was a rework. I re-evaluated my life priorities and values. The result is that I will not be appearing in any series this year and I will not be part of any team. I will not be racing.
I will always love motocross, but at the moment I am interested in a different position on the priorities ladder than in the first twenty years of my life. Riding a motorcycle is an indescribable feeling for me, and in my life I have not found many other activities that perhaps close to this feeling, therefore I continue to stay at motocross in its purest form and like to ride when possible. I like to spend my free time where I grew up, the track and when I like to pass on what I have learned and had the chance to watch from the best in the world. During the winter we also paid physics with a local group of competitors and it is 100% a different kind of mission! I like it.
I’d like to thank everyone who was part of my racing journey. I could try to name a list, but we would be here a long time and I would forget many people. Thank you so much for everything! That’s it ladies and gentlemen! The end of the report. Have a nice evening.
