New South Wales Speedway Solo Championship Report

Speedway Grand Prix rider Jack Holder has added another New South Wales Speedway Solo Championship to his impressive record at the 2024 staging of the title meeting at Oakburn Park track in Tamworth on Saturday night.

Jack’s toughest opponent looked to be his older brother and former world champion Chris, and when the brothers met in their final heat both had been unbeaten up to that point. Jack looked to have the upper hand in their heat until a primary chain snapped and he fell awkwardly.

Even with that setback Jack Holder (12) was still the third top scorer and so qualified direct to the final behind Chris (15) and Queenslander Ryan Douglas (13) – the trio always looking a cut above their opposition.

The fourth rider to join them was decided in the B Final where Michael West had to take on three Queensland riders with Zaine Kennedy storming past West, with Jacob Hook not far away after Tate Zischke had a mechanical problem.

Douglas made a good start in the Final and it was him and Chris Holder battling for the lead at the second corner when Jack Holder stormed between them and ran away leaving Chris to just get the better of Douglas for second, as Zaine Kennedy was never a threat.

The line-up for the championship meeting had a huge gap of talent between the top and bottom of the scoresheet and the best racing was invariably produced in the clashes featuring the riders who rode in the B final and the next few in line behind them.

Another Queenslander Daine Kennedy only missed the B Final on countback, Harry Ryan dropped a chain in one heat and that ultimately cost him a B Final berth, while Reid Battye was the most entertaining rider on show and he was deserving of more points for his efforts.

Any report is not complete without mention of the most consistently exciting races of the night turned on in the Under 16 250 cc class where Jordy Loftus and Viv Muddle were often side by side for lap after lap, with Loftus ultimately taking the honours in three of the five races.

Sedgmen wins Jason Lyons Solo Trophy at Olympic Park

Merbein speedway star, Justin Sedgmen has won the Prestige Edging Jason Lyons Solo Trophy at Mildura’s Olympic Park on Saturday night. Sedgmen had a wonderful night scoring five wins from his five rides in a field which contained plenty of talent.

Sedgmen was able to win against last week’s Victorian Champion, Jaimon Lidsey, when they met in the heats and to finish equal with British star, Tom Brennan, who, with Sedgmen finished on twelve points, Lidsey one back on eleven.

The evening was packed with great efforts from many riders in the field as Brennan, who had only arrived in Mildura during this week, settled back into racing as though he had not had a break of a few weeks. Brennan was also unbeaten during the heats and showed great form.

Brennan sharing that he was particularly looking forward to the Phil Crump Solo Classic to be held at Mildura on Sunday, December 29, saying that he could see that the field was top quality.

The B final was line-up was a sign of the quality of the field, the top three riders, Sedgmen, Brennan and Lidsey, joined by Mildura’s Patrick Hamilton, last week’s Vic Title runner up, Fraser Bowes, local International Dayle Wood and SA rider Sam Martin, who has revived his career after ten years off. Hamilton finished with seven points, Bowes with six, and Martin and Wood equal on five points each.

Bowes looked urgent as he and Hamilton diced for supremacy in the B final, Bowes using his experience to finally get control over the young Mildurian and take the final spot available in the Jason Lyons Final.

The Prestige Edging Jason Lyons final was a torrid event, with Sedgmen starting from gate one, Tom Brennan in two. Jaimon Lidsey chose the outside gate, leaving gate three to Bowes. Lidsey probably hoped that Sedgmen and Brennan would fight each other into turn one from the start, which might leave room for Lidsey to “trap” well and get a good unimpeded line right around the outside of turn one and two, which would see him lead down the back straight.

Sedgmen knew that a great start was required to see himself in the action and that was exactly what happened as he got a wonderful start and was a bike length in front of Brennan, with Lidsey outside of both riders and needing something great as he exited turn two.

Sedgmen gave his best effort for the season so far and rode an excellent line into turn one and maintained his pressure on the other riders as he exited turn two with a clear lead. He then consolidated his position down the back straight, leaving Brennan and Lidsey to fight out the minor positions.

Lidsey attacked Brennan hard and after some time, was able to move past the British Speedway of Nations team Gold medallist and take over second place and hold it until race end.

Sedgmen was quite emotional with his win, which he had focussed on since last week’s Victorian Title as he had a special relationship with event sponsor, Prestige Edging. They had lost their founder and patriarch, the late Gavin Highdale, who had always been most generous to the Mildura Club, but also to Justin Sedgmen himself, as a sponsor.

The company is still in the hands of the Highdale family and Justin paid tribute to “Mr. Highdale”, saying that it was most important to him to secure the Lyons Trophy as it reflected the work and advice put into him by Jason Lyons himself over more than 20 years of riding and to the friendship of Prestige Edging and Gavin Highdale himself.

In the C final, Bendigo rider, Jack Morrison chose the very outside gate in the five man final and won the event with a very strong showing. Morrison has been a regular traveller to Mildura for a lot of years and patrons were pleased to see him take control of the minor final and put in such a good ride.

Support events were with both Modern and Classic Sidecars, which are included in the Jason Lyons Trophy on the express wish of Lyons himself as he says “regular Mildura meetings always have Sidecars in the program”, meaning small sidecar fields were added for Lyons enjoyment.

SA visitor, Stephen Fowler/Jeremy Sherwood won the modern Sidecar division from AJ Pearce/Eli Bock with Simon Cohrs/Cam Diwell in third place.

In the Classics, the evergreen Rob Kemp/Nick Johns, from Broken Hill were successful ahead of Chris Abriani/Rod Higgins and Rod Gebhart/Chloe Ackerley in third place.

Up Next: Crump Solo Classic

Next meeting at Olympic Park will be the 2024 Phil Crump Solo Classic, which will be held on Sunday 29th December.

The Crump Classic will see riders from five countries participate, which include the Czech, Jan Kvech, the American, Luke Becker, the Dane, Jonas Jeppersen, and two British visitors – Tom Brennan and Sam Hagon.

As well as Australian stars with former Australian Champions, Rohan Tungate, Brady Kurtz and Sam Masters, Queenslanders, Ryan Douglas and Tate Zischke and, from WA, Luke Killeen and Mitch McDiarmid, SA’s Fraser Bowes plus locals, Justin Sedgmen, Jaimon Lidsey and Jack Morrison.

An excellent support program of eight “Young guns” will ride in the solo only event.

The Crump Classic always concludes with a traditional, six rider, six lap final, which is hotly contested and looked forward to by the participants. The room on the start line and through turns one and two is always at a premium and riders can expect the unexpected, especially during lap one of the gruelling six-lap event.

Many of the Crump event traditions were what the Mildura Marvel, Crump, rode as a regular part of an Olympic Park program. Phil Crump will be in attendance to watch the meeting evolve and to be on hand to present the Trophy which honours him.

Phil was the start of International racing by so many riders from Mildura, back in the 1970’s with Phil and family helping out so many young lads during their formative years racing in England and Europe.

Tickets for the Crump meeting will be available at the Olympic Park gates from gate opening at 4:00pm on Sunday, December 29.

AJMX 2025 at Gillman

The 27th running of the KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX) is heading to Gillman, South Australia from September 29 until October 3, 2025.

After highly successful events in Darwin and Bunbury over the last two years, the championship arrives at the much-loved Gillman, a staple on the ProMX Championship calendar and located just a 20-minute drive north of the Adelaide CBD.

With continued support from KTM Australia, upwards of 300 riders – and a much higher machine count – will contest the 2025 AJMX across 12 championship classes, spanning from the entry-level 50cc auto category up to 15-year-olds on 250cc four-stroke machinery. There are also two dedicated classes for girls.

A multitude of new champions will be crowned at the 2025 KTM AJMX as past winners move into higher age brackets. Furthermore, the KTM AJMX is often the spicy culmination of fierce rivalries that have been brewing in the MX65 Futures, MX85, MX3 and MXW classes in the ProMX Championship, which in 2025 will finish on August 3.

The AJMX was inaugurated in 1997, and a dazzling array of young guns have taken to the gates since then. The roll call includes Chad Reed, Toby Price, Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, Courtney Duncan and Danielle McDonald, while a slew of other current-day motorcycle racing stars have also cut their teeth in the AJMX.

In 2024, Australian riders won nine of the 12 AJMX classes thanks to Seth Shackleton, Seth Thomas, Blake Bohannon, Jackson Fuller, Hudson Francis, Mason Ezergailis, Levi Farr, Nate Forwood and Elize Dennis, while Hayden Draper, Levi Townley and Karaitiana Horne all took home winning silverware to New Zealand after strong performances.

The 2025 KTM AJMX will be promoted by the highly experienced Gillman-based Motocross Riders Association, with preliminaries beginning on Monday, September 29 before the on-track action commences on the Tuesday and continues at a frenetic pace until all the champions are crowned on Saturday.

Motocross Riders Association President – Anthony Slade

“We are absolutely thrilled that the 2025 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship will be hosted at the Motocross Riders Association in Gillman. This is a tremendous honour for our club and an exciting opportunity to showcase the exceptional talent of junior riders from across the country. Our dedicated team is already hard at work to ensure we deliver a world-class event that riders, families, and fans will remember for years to come. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Gillman for what promises to be an unforgettable week of racing and camaraderie.”

Motorcycling Australia CEO – Peter Doyle

“After a brilliant 2024 event in Bunbury, the KTM AJMX spotlight will now be on Gillman for the 27th edition of the championship. But the AJMX is much more than focussing on top-end talent: it’s an incredibly enjoyable event for so many, and a wonderful way to spend the September school holidays. It takes a community to make a championship, and I thank KTM Australia and the Motocross Riders Association for their commitment to make the 2025 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship a success.”

KTM Group National Sales Manager – Tam Paul

“KTM is very proud of our long-standing support of junior motocross racing in Australia, and look forward to continuing this with the 2025 Australian Junior Motocross Championship. Developing the next generation of young racers has always been a key part of what we do here at KTM, and seeing how this support – through events such as the AJMX – has helped riders realise their dreams of racing at both a national and international level, is truly rewarding. We look forward to seeing the racers in South Australia for 2025.”

FIM X-Trial opener to introduce new format

The FIM X-Trial World Championship will debut a revitalised competition format at its season opener in Madrid on Saturday, December 21, kicking off from 6:00 PM. The 2025 changes aim to create a faster-paced, more dynamic event, with new phases like the Sprint Race system and an expanded field of four finalists.

By emphasising time-based challenges, the format ensures greater entertainment, closer competition, and a stronger spotlight on rider skill, strategy, and adaptability.

Key Changes in the Competition Format:

The final round will now feature four riders competing for victory and podium positions, instead of the previous three.

Qualifying Phase (Q1): Riders will ride a minimum of five sections consecutively under the traditional penalty system. The top three riders from Q1 will automatically qualify to the Final.

New Sprint format system: Penalties in these stages are time-based. Each foot placed = +10 seconds. A failure (fiasco) = +1 minute. These penalties are added to the rider’s total time of the Course.

Q2: “Last Chance” Sprint Format: The non-qualified Riders in Q1 will compete in a time-based Sprint Race over 2–3 sections. The rider with the lowest combined time (including penalties) secures the fourth and final place in the Final.

Superpole for Final Starting Order: The Superpole determines the Section 1 starting order in the Final. Riders compete in a Sprint format, with the winner starting in the best position for the Section 1 of the Final.
Final Round The Final retains its traditional format of 5–6 sections, with each rider allowed one minute per section.

Ben Watson

“2025 will be my third season with Beta. Obviously I am looking forward to racing again, I have a great feeling with the whole group in the factory and the MRT Racing Team. 2024 was going well, before my injury. But now, after a rest and recovery period, I am ready to start again. Beta has made a good step forward on the bike and after a couple of days of testing I can say that there has been a significant improvement and I am confident. Now it’s time to start working for 2025, my plan is to focus on my speed and improve my starts and then I really believe I can be competitive.”

Tom Koch

“This is the chance I have been waiting for for several years now, and I will try to make the most of it! Now that I have got to know the team and the bike I am even more excited about a season full of safisfaction. […] I was very curious to ride a Beta… I was surprised because I felt good right away, we just adjusted the ‘controls’ and the suspension to my personal style and I really liked it. It’s easy to handle and compact and the first impressions when riding it were very positive. It’s also very interesting to take part in the development of a bike, there’s so much to learn. I want to improve and become better, to fight more consistently for the top-ten.”

FIM SuperEnduro Round One – Poland Wrap

The 2024/2025 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship kicked off on the weekend at PreZero Arena in Gliwice, with the season opener featuring the first-ever showdown between electric and combustion motorcycles at this level of competition.

A record-breaking 82 riders from 15 countries battled on the track with the highly anticipated debut of electric competitors, including Taddy Błażusiak (POL), cleared to compete on his STARK VARG after a year long break.

Saturday evening kicked off with the SuperPole race, where four-time FIM SuperEnduro World Champion Billy Bolt (GBR) proved quickest. Jonny Walker (GBR) secured second place, while Eddie Karlsson (SWE) impressed with a strong third-place finish.

In the first final of the opening round, Bolt put on a masterclass, delivering a commanding performance to claim a dominant victory. Jonny Walker followed in second, unable to match Bolt’s blistering pace, while Dominik Olszowy (POL) completed the first final in third.

The second final, however, told a different story. Dominik Olszowy seized his moment. Starting from the second row, he made an incredible charge to the front. With the home crowd’s deafening support behind him, Olszowy held off relentless pressure from Bolt.

Despite Bolt’s repeated attempts to overtake – including a few that pushed him off the track – Olszowy remained calm and consistent, earning his first-ever Prestige class moto win in breathtaking style. Jonny Walker finished second again, while Ashton Brightmore (GBR), making his debut in the Prestige class, took an impressive third, Bolt ending up fourth.

In the third and final race, Bolt reasserted his dominance. With a flawless ride from start to finish, the Brit claimed victory and secured the overall win for the night. Olszowy finished second in the final bout and earned a well-deserved second place overall. Walker, despite a mishap that saw his chain come off mid-air in the third race, managed to secure third place on the overall podium.

Billy Bolt – P1

“I’ve got to be happy to take the win here in Poland, especially in front of such a fantastic crowd, but it’s definitely not all gone my own way. SuperPole went well and then going into race one I felt good and was able to take the win. In race two, I took my time early on, but after that I pushed too hard to get out front and made some mistakes. Coming off the side of the track didn’t help, especially with how slippery the concrete is here in Poland, but thankfully, I was able to fight my way back to fourth. Entering race three, the points were tight for the overall, so the goal was clear – get out front and just manage my pace to the finish. Everything went perfectly, I was able to take the race win and the overall. It feels good to open my season with a victory, I’m already looking forward to Germany in a few weeks’ time.”

Jonny Walker – P3

“So we’ve come away with third overall after round one here in Poland! I was second in the first two races which I was super happy with, then the last race wasn’t great as my chain got pulled off so I had to stop and fix that. However, we’ve definitely learned a lot already and I’m excited to get out to Germany for round two in the New Year!”

Notably, motivated and eager to compete in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship, Cooper Abbott (USA) made a strong impression with 4th, 7th, and 6th-place finishes across the three finals, ending up 5th overall. Abbott demonstrated that he can go head-to-head with SuperEnduro’s top riders and is sure to be a serious threat to his rivals as the series progresses.

The first electric bike home in each bout was Eddie Karlsson on a Stark. The Swede scored a hat-trick of fifth place finishes.

Taddy Blazusiak took an eighth place in the opening race, but only managed two laps in the second race and did not front for the final race of the night. The Polish rider had fell in practice and looked to have some technical problems when trying to get going again.

The electric motorcycles competing in SuperEnduro have power limits and minimum weight specifications, despite the competition being completely open, technically, to petrol powered motorcycles.

Juniors

A generational shift was evident in Juniors as last year’s champion, Ashton Brightmore, moved up to the Prestige class and in the end, it was the most consistent rider, Toby Shaw (GBR), who emerged victorious.

Àlex Puey (ESP) impressed with a dominant ride in the first final and a strong second-place finish in the third, earning him the runner-up spot overall. Marc Fernandez Serra (ESP) also performed consistently to complete the Junior class podium.

Szymon Kuś (POL) showed great pace, battling for the lead twice during the event and demonstrating his potential despite some setbacks. Milan Schmüser (GER) also displayed his fighting spirit, finishing with solid points after challenges in the first two races.

Youth

The debut of the Youth class opened the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship to 125cc motorcycles. Riders aged 14 to 18 showcased incredible skills and thrilling battles in Gliwice.

Ramon Godino Gomez (ESP) and Connor Watson (GBR) took top two spots on the podium, respectively, while Polish fans had much to cheer for as Michał Laska (POL) claimed third place overall with two third-place finishes.

FIM Europe Cup

The FIM Europe Cup also delivered excitement, despite Norbert Zsigovits’s (HUN) dominance. Zsigovits was untouchable in both finals, but the fight for the remaining podium spots was fierce.

Intense multi-rider battles saw Fynn Hannemann (GER) and Alessandro Azzalini (ITA) secure the second and third places, respectively.
