“I’m looking forward to this year’s trip to Russia! We have a fantastic group of riders this year that brings a variety of experienced and first-timers to the table, as far as overseas trips go,” explained Willingham.
“This collection of riders are all products from our successful 2018 event in Horsham, so they understand what it takes to win but also how to work together as a team who represents their nation.”
MA thanks all applicants for their submissions during the application period and wishes the 2019 Team Australia all the very best as they jet over to Russia in July.
