THE 2022 CHAMPIONSHIP

2022 is certainly looking to be a huge year with numbers on the up across all events, and disciplines, so far, with most clubs seeing more and more new riders, as well as some returning after a few years – seems coming out of COVID lockdowns everyone is keen to throw a leg over and have a ride – which is awesome for the 2022 Championship!

What is also exciting is the number of young riders who are coming out of juniors and will be looking to challenge the established senior riders, and word is that there are a few senior riders already looking over their shoulders at the coming talent – Sunday’s racing could be top notch in 2022 for sure!

In the juniors, there are more than a few names across most classes that are being spoken of as possible podium place-getters in 2022, with round 1 certainly offering up more questions and unknowns than answers if pre-season ride days are anything to go by.

With that said, the 4 clubs that will be hosting the rounds in 2022 are certainly going to be in for some great action at their venues, and they are venues that are going to offer something different for each round, with the 4 rounds of the 2022 Championship being;

Round Date Club Address
1 April 23 & 24 Motocross Riders Association 65 Wilkins Rd, Gillman
2 May 21 & 22 Riverland Junior Motorcycle Club 19695 Sturt Hwy, Old Calperum SA 5341

SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S BRAND NEW bLU cRU SA JUNIOR CUP – ALMOST READY TO GO!

Whilst the likes of, fellow juniors, Cameron Rende and Sam Pezzetta, have been ripping it up Nationally, locally there has been a team of 12 riders, most of whom are new to the sport of road race, who have quietly been going about getting ready to launch off the start line at Mount Gambier’s Mac Park Raceway in a few short weeks at Easter!

All have been getting themselves prepared in some way over the past few weeks, with most now kitted out in their brand new bLU cRU SA Junior Cup leathers – and don’t they look awesome with the design centred around the SA sporting colours!  Some of the crew have also been doing stuff off track, helping with promotional days and the like, with 8 of the 12 also taking the advantage of a Ride Day on the East Circuit of The Bend to cut a heap of laps – especially as they will be racing there later in the season as well!

And who are the riders who will be making 2022 bLU cRU SA Junior Cup history, as the inaugural squad to ride in this exciting new Series to be run here in SA for the first time – well, they are;

Cameron Rende

Ryder Gilbert

Rikki Henry

Lucas Warren

Here’s a bit of a photo rundown of what they have all been up to;

Also need to say a huge thanks to the great coaches that have been guiding these lads – those who are part of Levi Day’s On Track Rider training crew (Ty Lynch), and Will Strugnell, Kym & Allan Bolto, and also just joining the party, Sandro Malatesta – and the clubs who have offered their support – Cafnix, the Historics, Mount Gambier, and the Levis MCC as well, who is sponsoring Cooper Pitt!

And of course – without the support of some amazing business support – none of this would have been possible – and here they are, with the list getting longer with each passing month – words can’t describe the value of this great support – so please thank and support these great businesses now and into the future!

There will likely be a couple of the bikes and crew on display at the MSA stand at the 2022 Australian U16 125cc Championships for junior speedway at Sidewinders Speedway, Wingfield, on Saturday and Sunday, April 2 & 3, if you want to check out these great bikes and what it’s all about – all questions can be answered, including how to get involved in 2023!
