The KTM AJMX is the pinnacle of junior motocross racing in Australia and during the thrilling action packed week of racing the riders and their support crews will be tested beyond their limits to regain, gain or keep hold of the coveted title of “Australian Champion”.

Weller is excited to host the event; “The KTM AJMX will provide an excellent opportunity for juniors to compete against the best talent within Australia and visiting international riders, at our venue.

“It’s a huge honour for our club; it’s the first time since 2004 we last had a Junior National Championship. We had applied to host the AJMX championship for the last two years and we were successful on our second attempt, which is a great get for our club and the state of Tasmania.

“We have a great committee formed and we are tracking really well leading up to September 29, and with the weather we have our fingers and toes crossed we get six days of great Tasmanian spring weather,” finished Weller.

Motorcycling WA have selected a very strong team, backed by some great results from our riders at the WJMX in Horsham. With the best junior MotoX riders from around the country vying for the coveted Australian Championship, Motorcycling WA would like to congratulate all riders selected to represent WA at the AJMX. We would like to wish the team all the best and good luck in all of their races and the Challenge Cup.

“Unfortunate we had young Brock Flynn go down and out through the week training for supercross but we have some other strong contenders we can fill his spot with to remain a strong team to take the cup!”
