2018 Australian Trials Championship to Jump into Action

October 3, 2018 Filed Under: News, Trial

This weekend the best trials riders from around Australia will invade Sedgwick, located in northern Victoria, 16km out Bendigo, for the 2018 “Delecca’s” Australian Trial Championship.

All up, 110 riders, which cover classes from Veterans, Twin Shocks, Classic, Juniors, Juniors 13-16 boys, Open Women and Solo, will tackle sixty sections, which has been laid out and designed by Trials Club of Victoria.

So just how demanding will these sections be this weekend? To break it down, the sections will be set in vary of levels in every sections, as some riders may find some of the sections quite easy, and some may find them difficult.

Trials is obviously a complete polar opposite discipline, say to road racing where every rider races on the same circuit and your ability is graded on your time it takes to get around the track.

With trials, the grading is different as it’s the size of the obstacle you ride. For example, a veteran’s type rider would normally ride something with a vertical face of about a meter high, while an open solo rider would ride an obstacle with a vertical face of about a three meters high.

Trials Club of Victoria president Philip Whittle has expressed that this weekend race fans will be able to witness up close action to the event, as spectators will be able to stand right on the boundary tape and watch the action unfold.

“Race fans will be blown away with the size of the obstacles that the expert riders will be riding and the size of the obstacles some of the juniors will be riding as well,” said Whittle.

“The skills which these riders will show and bike control will leave people scratching their heads and wondering how they do it.”

With trials, it’s all about bike control. It’s about how you use your clutch, brake, throttle and your body to get the most out of your motorcycle. This is why Whittle has explained that spectators will be “amazed” at the size of these obstacles the experts can ride and without hardly using any input from their bikes engines.

“It’s a skill which they have and its one everyone has to witness to understand it for themselves,” added Whittle.

In the Open Solo, Whittle, who has spent his whole life around Trials, believes 28-year-old Kyle Middleton will be the man to beat this weekend, as he aims to lock up a sixth straight Australian Trials Championship to his name.

However, keep a very watchful eye on Tasmanians Chris Bayles will be one rider who is on a mission this weekend, as he will be throwing everything at it this weekend to try and put a stop to Middleton’s defence, after he has played the bridesmaid for the last few years now.

The dark horse this weekend could be Connor Hogan, who has been riding in Europe all year in the Trials2 division of the FIM Trial World Championship, and recently just came back from riding in the Trial des Nations (TdN) and just won the Victorian Trials Championship.

“Connor’s riding has improved over the last few years,” said Whittle.

“We also have a couple of South Africans, in Brent and Bruce Le Ritchie who are also riding this weekend and very confident riders. I believe we are going to have a cracking championship this weekend.”

In the Open Women’s class, all eyes look towards Kristie McKinnon, who is the form rider and would more than likely be on course to win her ninth title.

Whittle finished off by saying; “Kristie is a standout rider in the Open Women’s class. She rides at a very, very high level and I can’t see anyone beating her. She has the bar set very high, which is a credit to her.”

The “Delecca’s” Australian Trial Championship takes place from 6-7 October.

Racing Kicks Up a Gear at KTM AJMX

October 2, 2018 Filed Under: Juniors, Motocross, News

Racing has kicked off properly here at day three of the KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX) at Penguin, Tasmania. Many classes battled it out in their first heats and finals of the week, while the remaining classes further adapted to the track in free practice sessions. 
 
Conditions were once again excellent, but the track saw the welcome addition of some cloud cover to keep it from drying up. With plenty of action to come over the coming days, the Coastal Motocross Club have really crafted up a brilliant track for the juniors. Plenty of spectators and locals were on hand to check out the racing.
 
Mini Lites BW – 12-U14 – Heats 1 & 2
Cobie Bourke from New Zealand stole the show in heat one of the Mini Lites Big Wheel. The victory was not easy for Bourke, as he only took victory 0.293 of a second ahead of Ryan Alexanderson (QLD) in a seven-lap shootout! The battle for third took place much further back, with Ty Kean (VIC) finishing a further 10.777 seconds further behind. Rory Fairbrother (NSW) and Ryder Kingsford (NSW) established themselves in the top five.
 
Heat two saw Jackson Camilleri from Queensland put on a great performance, his riding looked effortless out there on track, with a fairly comfortable 3.581 second gap.

Up next was the 50cc Division and they put on quite a show with close and exciting racing between the youngsters in their first final. Benny Veale (VIC) staked his claims this weekend for a trophy with a very hard-fought victory. There was nothing in it between himself and his challenger, Aden Oakland (QLD), a measly 0.374 of a second. Ryder Creeke (NSW) also impressed in third with Jed Grey (TAS) and Peter Wolfe (QLD) completing the top five, in the four-lap skirmish.    
 
50 Mini Lites BW – 14-U16 – Final 1

bLU cRU Right Behind the Oceania Rookies Cup

October 2, 2018 Filed Under: Juniors, News, Road Race, Road Racing

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is proud to announce a ground-breaking partnership with Yamaha Motor Australia and the newly announced Oceania Rookies Cup, with bLU cRU becoming the official naming rights partner for the next two years. Launching in 2019, the bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup will be an all-inclusive road race academy for young junior riders to show off their talents on a national stage.

Announced last week, the bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup is an academy focused at developing Oceania’s next big road race star, with the door open to all kids aged 11 to under 16 regardless of experience. It will provide them with everything they need to take to the track for an affordable price of AUD $7,750 (excluding travel and accommodation) for the entire season! Don’t forget that the program will include entries, garage space, the use of a race ready Yamaha YZF-R15, transportation of the bike, mechanical support, full racing gear and so much more.Junior development is at the core of the bLU cRU program and that is precisely why Yamaha Motor Australia have backed the academy. The bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup will be a perfect platform for young juniors to develop their skills before moving up to towards the Australian Supersport 300.

Yamaha believe in the natural progression of this program as riders start on a YZF-R15, which then leads them to a YZF-R3, YZF-R6 and finally the YZF-R1 Superbike. That’s the bLU cRU philosophy.

Yamaha Motor Australia’s Motorsports Division Manager, Ray Howard commented; “The bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup is the proving ground for future champions and the starting point for a potentially long and successful road racing career for bLU cRU riders. Powered by the aspiration delivered by Yamaha’s MotoGP riders, and right the way down to the local YRT team, the Oceania Rookies will embark on an exciting journey. A journey that can take them into the R3 Cup and SS300 class racing on a twin cylinder YZF-R3 and then onto the dominant model in the Supersport class – the YZF-R6. The R-series models offer a platform to excel at every level – much like in the MX space where junior riders can start on YZ65 in the YZ65 Cup and progress all the way up to the reigning MX1 champion YZ450F.”

“bLU cRU is the environment that brings Yamaha’s blue and white world together in one space no matter your age or riding level. Our aim is to expand the number of junior riders signing up for road racing and to offer a stable platform to launch a successful career. By making it super easy and affordable to race, the bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup is the perfect entry point for riders hoping to become the next Valentino Rossi. And because Rossi is a member of the bLU cRU – as well as the youngest rookie in the Cup – there is a direct connection that makes the aspiration more real.”

MA’s Operations Director, Martin Port shared; “We are very pleased to announce a partnership with Yamaha Motor Australia through its bLU cRU program. Yamaha’s commitment to junior development is profound and the possibilities are endless, with the bLU cRU Oceania Rookies Cup kicking off in 2019. This will be an accessible program that will support Juniors on and off the track. I couldn’t think of a better bike than the YZF-R15 for this cup and a more fitting partner with bLU cRU right behind it.”

Opportunity to Register your Interest is now available!
Head to ASBK.com.au and fill out your details today. The opportunity will close October 31st, so don’t miss out!

Stay tuned to ASBK and MA websites for upcoming announcements including partners, expression of interest and so much more.
