The first round of this year's Southern Downs Road Racing Championships also features the third round of the new class in GP Juniors Australia, the GP Juniors Cup where competitors ride the dynamic Yamaha YZF-R15 with all bikes on Bridgestone tyres.

GP Juniors Australia is the evolution of the Motorcycle Road Racing Development Association or “MRRDA” as it was commonly referred.

2017 marks the 11th year of competition for the national series and while the name may have changed, the philosophy is exactly the same; to create a structure and provide the youngsters with an avenue to greatness.

To be good at any sport one has to start at a young age. Road racing is no different. The unique sport has many attributes that are all positives as the young riders are well fo-cused, have definite goals in what they want to achieve in life. They also, learn responsi-bility for their actions and show exceptional maturity as the nature of the sport requires a mature attitude and conduct, as one mistake can have monumental consequences.

They also learn about mechanics, physics and engineering, all benefits that will hold them in good stead for their entire life.

2017 GP Juniors-Mark Bracks


If MotoGP is the university of road racing, GP Juniors Australia is the pre-

school where they commence the education to move through to the primary school class of the Supersport 300 and 600cc machines. The next step as they chase their dreams of success, is Superbikes senior school, before hopefully graduat-ing to the world stage.

GP Juniors Australia is split into four categories: up to 160cc four-strokes, 85cc two strokes for the 12-16 year olds, while making its debut in 2017 is the GP Juniors Cup for the Yamaha YZF R15 with three rounds of the GP Juniors Cup held with the big boys of the Australian Superbike Champion-

ship. The final category is for the younger brigade of 9-11 year olds who compete on 70cc two-stroke machines.

The opening two rounds of the GP Juniors Cup have provided some exceptional racing with monumen-tally close finishes. The first round was held in diabolical conditions at Wakefield Park (NSW) back in March when the youngsters raced in the worst conditions in all of the races of the ASBK weekend.

Round two at Winton Raceway - also with the Australian Superbike Championships - had the crowd flocking to the fence as the GP Junior Cup provided the closest racing of th weekend with the total win-ning margin of the three races between first and second was a massive 0.225sec! 0.079, 0.131, 0.015, respectively. Additionally in two of the races, the total margin covering the top four was 0.956 sec; 0.320 and 0.636, respectively.

Stand by for more of the same this weekend.

Series leader Tom “Tom-E-Gun” Edwards from Swansea (NSW) will be keen to stretch his lead in the GP Juniors Cup. The 15-year-old has a lot more experience than the rest of the field as in 2016 he competed in the ultra-competitive Asia Talent Cup, contested on standard Honda 250cc Moto 3 machines, a step-ping stone into the European Championship and Grand Prix World Championships. His experience pro-vides a perfect benchmark for the others to judge their progress throughout the seven round series that culminates at the final round in South Australia in late November.

Edwards explained; “I am really looking forward to Morgan Park and seeing if we can improve on what we did at Winton. The GP Juniors Cup is a great series to be a part of and there are a lot of good riders in there so I will have to be on my game to win all three races. Hopefully, it will be dry for the entire weekend, but saying that, riding on the control tyre, I learnt a lot in the wet conditions of Wake-field Park in getting the feedback from the tyres.”

“I am also really looking forward to re-ceiving coaching and tips from Garry McCoy. He is one of my all-time heroes and one of Australia’s greatest riders, so it is going to be very special to be getting some tips from someone like him. This is so exciting and it is what makes GP Juniors Australia the special race series that it is.”

There will be some great duels throughout the field as the teenagers gain more experience and under-standing of the complexities of road racing, and it anyone’s guess who will prevail to take out the week-end.

One in the field who has a wealth of experience in his corner is Max Stauffer, the son of multiple Australi-an Superbike Champion, Jamie Stauffer. For Max this will be his third road race after learning his craft in dirt-track racing where he won an Australian Championship. In the lead up to the third round this weekend, the youngsters have had a wonderful and unique experi-ence. Earlier the week many of the youngsters attended Garry McCoy Coaching at Cooyar for two days followed by two days of training and instruction here at Morgan Park before the meeting commence. The benefits of this will surely be demonstrated during the racing

Over the past decade there an impressive list of graduates has emerged from junior road racing, includ-ing current MotoGP racer and Grand Prix winner, Jack Miller, 2015 Australian Superbike Champion, Mike Jones. Darnel Falzon is another successful graduate and has won three Australian 600cc championships in consecutive years, as well as his latest crowning glory, when he dominated the opening round of the Australian Superbike Championships at Phillip Island where he claimed pole position and backed it up to be victorious in the three races. He is the current leader of this year’s Australian Superbike Champion-ship.

Others that have used junior road racing as a springboard include, Josh Hook (2011 Australian 125cc Champion), Jed Metcher (2011 European 600cc Superstock Champion), Troy Geunther (2016 Australian Supersport 600cc Champion) with rapid girl Tayla Relph, Tom Bramich (2015 Australian Moto3 Champi-on), Matt Barton, Ben Leonard, Locky Taylor, Callum Alderson and Matt Walters are other notables that have competed in junior road racing.

This weekend you will witness some very intense and close racing between the juniors and this is a great dress rehearsal for when they return in August for the fifth round of this year’s title when the YMF Austral-ian Superbike Championship returns to Morgan Park for another weekend of excitement.

The GP Juniors Cup will continue to unearth future road racing champions and we are sure you are go-ing to witness the new generation of Australian Champions learning their craft, so have your little black book ready to jot down some names for future reference.

Be sure to check out the GP Juniors Australia display in the pits to learn more about the junior riding academy of Australian road racing. for more information check out gpjuniorsaustralia.com.au or on Face-book GP Juniors Australia.
