Beau Wills

Beau qualifies via AVG: 55:20 and brings Kiwi toughness forged on deep start lines. He’s not flashy — he’s stubborn. And in Elite racing, stubborn keeps you alive when others fade.

Phoenix storyline: grind and climb. Beau’s best races are the ones where he stays close enough to the front pack that people can’t relax — then he starts gaining late when the race becomes a survival test. If Phoenix is hot, fast, and brutal (it will be), Beau’s durability becomes an advantage. He’s the kind of athlete who looks the same at minute 50 as he did at minute 10 — and that’s a scary thing to race against.
