Bosnakis Leads Gaisford in ATV MX Nats Battle

October 6, 2018 Filed Under: ATV, News

DAY One of the ATV Motocross Nationals kicked off at Collie Motorcycle Club’s Stockton Park Circuit earlier today under perfect weather conditions leaving the viewing aspect nearly as spectacular as the racing itself.

With many competitors and spectators camping together at the picturesque track since Thursday and after the previous days “Meet and Greet”, the atmosphere was unusually relaxed for a National Championship as practise and qualifying got underway.

An action packed day of racing proceeded from there with all classes racing two rounds on Day One. The racing was fast, the track prepped perfectly and after a few deep ruts formed the competitors gave the spectators the thrills, and a few minor spills, that they came to see.

Excitement replaced any residual nerves and tension once the riders headed into round one of racing which began with the crowd thrilling “Hole Shot Heroes” followed by the rising star classes of the 50cc Demo and the Jumbo Demo class and the 200 Air Cooled Only support class before the championship rounds began.

Young Isabelle Maton, rider #36 from Wanneroo Junior MCC, competed in the Air cooled class today and showed a level of strength and determination that left commentators, spectators and fellow competitors in awe after a racing incident saw her struggling to complete her race.

During Isabelle’s ordeal she never gave up even though she was very emotional and exhausted but the crowd and the commentators encouraged her all the way, later in the day Isabelle spoke about what had happened.

“In Race 2 today I managed to push my 250cc Raptor to its limits, coming around a corner in my first lap I managed to fight my way through a tangle of bikes. I was running 2nd behind the leader who I managed to overtake and push myself to 1st for the whole lap. I was then overtaken by another competitor putting me back to 2nd spot.”

“After holding onto 2nd I was then battling to hold onto this position with the rider right behind me. Unfortunately I found myself bottomed out in the deep, wet sand of Collie. I tried my hardest to push, pull, lift and bump my bike but it would not shift. Once I was found some extra muscles I was able to cross the finish line. I never gave up I was determined to the end”.

Commentator Len Huff stated after the incident, “You don’t see determination like that anymore, very rare indeed!”

When asked what she liked so much about racing quads, Isabelle said “I love racing my quad because it’s exciting and I get to spend time with my friends and family that have the same interests”.

The 60cc to 90cc Competition Class kicked of the beginning of the ATV MX National Championships for 2018 and after each class completing two thrill seeking championship rounds this is how the end of day one panned out:

But Jae wasn’t satisfied with 1st place, he kept powering on through a field of 15 riders, lapping them one by one right up to 5th place. Another lap and he would have been on his second round of lapping!

The Stockton Park circuit consists of sand, gravel and clay, is approximately 1.8km long and is regarded as a reasonably technical track and is extremely challenging. Although the track is being prepped again tonight, deep ruts have formed and the racing will be tougher and less predictable.

One of tomorrow’s undoubtable and ongoing battles will be between long-time rivals Luke Gaisford and Christopher Bosnakis.

Christopher ended today in the lead by only 3 points and said afterwards “I am off to a really good start. I am going to carry this momentum into tomorrow and hopefully get the championship back”

Luke Gaisford, the 2017 Australian ATV MX #1, commented this evening, “ Day one was good with 2nd place finishes. We have three motos tomorrow and I’m hoping to get some wins in tomorrow”

Luke who has travelled the world competing and won multiple state and national ATV Quad Championships and Sportsman of the Year Awards also said, “Motocross is a family activity and one of the most exciting features of an event like this is the opportunity to camp out at the track with family and friends”!

With strong contenders in all classes and many of the racers having previous nationals experience, tomorrow’s racing promises to be even more exciting, kicking off with the Pro Championship Class.

Now that Day One is out the way riders are primed and ready to do battle with Australia’s Best and to see who will be crowned the next Australian ATVMX champion in their respective classes.

Member for Collie-Preston and Minister for Sport and Recreation, Mick Murray, accepted an invitation to officially attend the 2018 ATV MX Nationals and will be present to award trophies at the trophy presentations at the conclusion of the event tomorrow evening.

Middelton & Mckinnon clean up on day 1 of Delecca’s Australian Trial Championship

October 6, 2018 Filed Under: News, Trial

New South Welshman Kyle Middelton has today got off to the perfect start at the 2018 Delecca’s Australian Trial Championship at Sedgwick in Victoria, as he prepares to possibly take out a record sixth straight Open Solo Championship, which has never been done before in the sports history.

Middelton, who hails from Eleebana in Lake Macquarie, dismantled the eight rider filed, finishing the day with just fourteen marks to his name, 32 points clear from Colin Zarczynski, who scored 46 marks.

“I’m pretty happy with how the day went, as I felt really good on the Gas Gas 300 machine,” said Middelton at the conclusion of the day.

However, Middleton admitted that he make a couple mistakes here and there. Not only that, the sun and the heat took a bit of the 28-year-old throughout the day.

The mistakes for Middleton came in the fourteenth section, out of a total of fifteen, when he touched a marker on his second lap, handing him five marks against his name. Also on the second lap saw Middleton having to deal with cramps.

“Apart from touching a marker and having a cramp, there were just a few small things to contend with. If you only have a few things to complain about, you have done alright,” explained Middleton.

Middleton is more than confident heading into tomorrow’s final day of action. He understands that he has to just keep doing what he was doing today.
“Hopefully the results keep going the way they are going. If they do, I can’t see why we can’t replicate what we did today,” said Middleton.

When Middleton was asked what he could do to improve on for tomorrow, he explained that he maybe has to take his time a little bit more. Today saw Middleton being a tad too ‘fast’ today, so said he needs to slow down a bit and have a think more about the sections before rushing them.

“Overall but I’m happy with how I did. I just want to do a little bit better tomorrow,” finished Middelton.

Finishing third, with 55-marks was Chris Bayles, while Connor Hogan and Bruce Le Riche completed the top five respectfully.

Just like Middleton, Kristie Mckinnon was all class in the Women’s category, storming to victory by only racking up 8-marks for the entire day.

The 33-year-old expressed that it was a very good day, and he she “loved” the sections as it had so many rocks to play with, which she likes a lot.

“Hats off to the Trials Club of Victoria, as they have made some very good sections, with a mix of everything. This definitely kept me busy throughout the day and a challenge to keep my feet up as well,” said Mckinnon, who beat Michelle Coleman, who scored 35-marks.

On the second lap, McKinnon definitely got a few added points to her name, which she probably didn’t need. Why? She openly admitted that she thought she was just being a “little bit lazy.”

“The first lap I thought a lot harder to keep my feet up and where I was going, compared to the second lap,” explained Mckinnon, who is gunning for ninth Australian championship.
Mckinnon is confident heading into tomorrow. However, she is not getting to ahead of herself just yet, as she knows anything can happen, and normally does in Trials.
“I’m not counting my chickens just yet. I’ll just keep a clear head and keeping focusing and if the championship comes, it comes,” concluded Mckinnon.

Lillie Yiatrou was third overall with 49-marks. Rounding out the top five was Nicole Casey and Jenna Lupo.

In the Junior 12 – under 16, it was a much closer scrap for the lead, with Tom Woodhouse prevailing for the day by scoring 13-marks and taking the win on the opening day. Joint on 13-marks, but in second place was Maverick Ford, while three marks down was Alex Cowan with 16 marks to his name.

Day two of competition will ignite into action tomorrow at 9am AEDT.

MotoStars takes on the Australian Supermoto Championship

October 6, 2018 Filed Under: News, Supermoto

Motorcycling Australia (MA) is thrilled to announce that for the next two years MotoStars will be the promoter for the Australian Supermoto Championship (ASMC). The partnership will commence in 2019 and is set for a complete overhaul, with the championship changing from a one-off event to a three-round series in three different states next year.

The new look is aimed at making Supermoto more accessible to riders and fans alike, taking the sport to the next level here in Australia.

MotoStars founder Damian Cudlin, can’t wait to put the MotoStars stamp on the Australian Supermoto Championship and raise the bar; “We are absolutely thrilled to be involved with the Australian Supermoto Championship, which, along with the Australian Junior Road Racing Championship, will lift MotoStars to the next level. We see this as a great opportunity to refresh the Australian Supermoto Championship, with the strong MotoStars focus on the junior area of the sport, as well as the Pro and Open stars of the show.

Our first move is to make the ASMC a series and to take it to three different parts of the country, moving away from being the one-off event of the past. 

“We feel making the ASMC a three round series that is hosted in multiple states of Australia will give riders and clubs from all over the country the chance to compete, and represent themselves, meaning more talent and exposure for the Championship. The sport is already so unique, that alongside road racing, spectators will basically get to see two different disciplines battle it out in one spot, giving both dedicated and new fans the best of both worlds,” finished Cudlin.

Motorcycling Australia’s CEO Peter Doyle is thrilled to see Supermoto climb to new heights; “this new partnership with MotoStars over the next two years will reinvigorate Supermoto in Australia and I for one am excited to see where Motostars takes the championship,” said Doyle.

Keep your eyes peeled for further updates regarding the 2019 Australian Supermoto Championship, with dates and locations to follow.

Australian Junior Track Championships Tamworth – This Weekend – October 6 / 7

October 5, 2018 Filed Under: News, Track

As the country’s best young motocross riders complete their week-long national title shootout the dirt track brigade will gather in Tamworth this weekend for the 2018 Australian Junior Track Championship meeting.

The Tamworth Club’s Oakburn Park track is the venue for yet another title meeting which is sure to provide plenty of excitement across Saturday and Sunday.

Riders are travelling from Queensland, Victoria and South Australia as well as all over New South Wales to take part in the meeting.

The ‘double’ of success in the same class at both dirt track and track competition is always a particular goal so winners from the Australian Junior Dirt Track Championships completed in August will be in the spotlight.

But for those who were not successful in August, they will be hell-bent on revenge this weekend.

Riders in the 13 to 16 years age bracket invariably attract the most attention and this action looms as a battle between three states.

Queenslander Cyshan Weale was the stand-out performer at the Australian Junior Dirt Track Championship meeting, but when he missed last month’s New South Wales Junior Dirt Track Championships it was Kurri rider Ryan Smith who stepped up to score a hat-trick of class wins.

But this weekend will not just be a Weale versus Smith battle given the presence of the likes of Queenslanders Tristan Adamson, Rowan Miller and Hunter Penhallurick, Victorians Max Berry and Remmie Fyffe, plus Kurri duo Harrison Ryan and Jayden Rodgers and Gunnedah rider Tom Donnelly.

In the younger age brackets Gold Coast rider Riley Nauta, Kempsey’s Jayden Holder, Kurri rider Cameron Dunker and Archie McDonald from Albury-Wodonga are all striving to back up wins in the national Dirt Track titles.

Jayden Holder is attempting to make it a double in the 85cc 4-str. Modified class for 7- Under 10s, but on his 65cc machine he has stepped up from the 7 to Under 9s and this weekend will contest the 9 to Under 13s where he will face the likes of Dunker and McDonald.

Another Gold Coast duo Harrison Voight and Rory McQualter, Victorians Jackson Milner and Zane Kinna, Mitch Bisley and Hayden Nelson from Taree, Beau Bailey from Forbes and Noah Grabham from Cowra will all be out to improve on minor placings in recent championship outings.

Collie to play host to Australia’s best quad bike riders

October 5, 2018 Filed Under: ATV, News

Australia’s top riders — including Luke Gaisford, Chris Bosnakis, Jake Van Vliet, Cody Lincoln and Jae Dowsett — will compete for national titles at Collie’s Stockton Park track on October 5-7, 2018.

Australia’s best quad bike riders will converge on Collie this weekend with the town set to play host to the All-Terrain Vehicle Motocross Nationals.

Star competitors including Luke Gaisford, Chris Bosnakis and Jake Van Vliet will be some of the riders competing for the title of Australia’s best at the Stockton Park track from October 5th to 7th.

Returning to Western Australia for the first time since 2011, the event will be hosted by Quad Riders Western Australia and the Collie Motorcycle Club and will feature races from a range of classes, including the pro, veterans and women’s championships.

The 1.6 kilometre track is set on the banks of the picturesque Stockton Lake, offering an ideal opportunity for spectators to camp at the on-site facilities, watch the racing events and enjoy Collie’s natural surroundings.

Sport and Recreation Minister and Collie-Preston MLA Mick Murray said hosting the event would be a big achievement for Collie.

“Collie is a proud motorsport town and we are delighted to have the countries best in our backyard to battle it out next month,” he said.

“This is a great opportunity for visitors to spend the weekend camping by the beautiful blue Lake Stockton, enjoying the events, and taking in all of the unspoilt natural surroundings that the region has to offer.

“It’s going to be a very, very big event. We’ve got people travelling from all over Australia and even one competitor from Italy.

Mr Murray said the event would provide a huge economic boost for the Collie community.
“There are many different benefits including the economic benefit that will come with about 1000 people turning up throughout the week and spending money in the town,” he said.

“It’s something that not only the government has been pushing but also the shire, working to make sure Collie is on the events calendar.

“It’s about jobs for the future, if we can be on the circuit for events, which will certainly create jobs in town.”

Quad Riders Western Australia president Michael Harcourt said it was a natural choice to bring the competition to Collie.

“It was an obvious choice for us,” he said.

“The facilities are absolutely brilliant. Everyone enjoys the track, it’s a really fast track to ride and it’s really good facilities.”

Mr Harcourt said anyone turning up for the event could expect a weekend full of ‘fast-paced action’.

“The ATVs these days are nothing like the farm quads you see out in the paddocks,” he said.

“It’s something that’s a little bit different for people watch, everyone’s seen motocross before, we do all the same jumps and turns but on 4 wheels and it’s really exciting to watch.”

Multiple time national champion Chris Bosnakis said he was hoping to see the community get behind the event.

“The more people that come out, the better, it’s going to be a great show,” he said.

The event will attract about 400-500 visitors to Collie, with 85 competitors, support staff, friends and family set to converge on the town for the weekend’s action — including 25 interstate competitors and their teams, one of these teams being 4TEEN Industries.

4TEEN Industries
All of the 4TEEN Industries riders will compete at the Australian ATV MX Nationals this weekend October 6th and 7th in Western Australia at the Collie Motorcycle Club, Stockton Park.

The Pro Class will see Luke Gaisford, Blake Croonen and Jakob Bosustow, Intermediates – Colin Balshaw, Luke Capogreco and Zac Croonen, while Mike Croonen will compete in the Vets, and David Norman will be on the Clubman grid. Brooke Hollins will compete in both the junior 250cc classes.

All of our team members have been racing this year and enjoying the WA MX Championships, along with weekends of social rides at some of the ride parks, farms and local ride areas.

Luke Gaisford stated he had really enjoyed this year’s social rides as it was a great way to get in training along with increasing the skill levels of the youngsters, while still getting fitter and having fun. The team love getting out for a ride on the weekend, and we all really appreciate everyone who allows us to ride at their properties and the clubs who welcome us at their tracks.

We all look forward to this weekend’s Nationals, and the camping out, and supporting one another on the track; we hope everyone from WA achieves their goals

See you in Collie everyone
