2021 MOTORCYCLING SA CALENDAR OF EVENTS – RELEASED!

 

While COVID-19 played havoc with season 2020 and a lot of what was planned to happen on the 2020 calendar, it hasn’t stopped MSA, along with great help from the Sports Managers, the Clubs and promoters putting together a huge 2021 Events Calendar – which isn’t finished by any stretch of the imagination – as there are still dates to be added for a couple of disciplines (Dirt Track, Enduro and Quads/Sidecarcross), as well as rounds and venues allocated for the 2021 SA Motocross Championship.

If all goes to plan, these dates should be able to be finalised soon after the Sports Manager’s Meeting on December 10th – so in about 2 weeks from now, stay tuned for those announcements. Motorcycling SA would like to thank all of the Sports Managers, the Clubs and promoters for their work and assistance in getting to this spot – and hopefully with a December 1st re-start after the 2nd COVID lockdown, there won’t be any more going forward and we can all enjoy the sport we have such a passion for!

2021 will see a fantastic amount of disciplines hosting National, and International, events in 2021, with rounds of the Australian Superbike Championship (The Bend), the ‘ProMX’ Australian Motocross Championship (Gillman) and the Australian Off Road Championship (Kingston SE) all being held in SA, along with all 4 Australian Junior Speedway Championships (2 @ Gillman, 2 @ Sidewinders) and the FIM Oceania Solo & Sidecar Speedway Championships (Gillman) also to be held in SA during 2021.

         

There are also a number of other highlights to be had in 2021 – headed by the bi-annual, brilliant and iconic Sellicks Beach Historic Races, to be held over the weekend of March 13 & 14, being run by SA’s oldest Club, the Levis MCC, on the sands of Sellicks Beach. Entries will open very soon for this event, and with a capped entry list, be quick to ensure you can step back in time and race SA’s ‘oldest race track’!

Each discipline has an iconic event, or 2, so keep an eye out for the following events during the year;

CLASSIC MOTOCROSS – the 2020 SA Historic Championships, @ The Levis Scramble in September

ENDURO – heading across the border for the Finke Desert Race in June, or the Hattah Desert Race in July

MOTOCROSS – The King of the Gulf, along with Prince & Classic King of the Gulf at Port Pirie over Easter

RELIABILITY TRIAL – SA’s most iconic annual event since 1924, The 24 Hour Trial, as always, on the ‘2nd weekend in July’!

ROAD RACE – The 3 Hour Race @ Mallala in March, the Easter Cup (April) and Master of Mac Park (Oct), both at the Mount!

SIDECAR-CROSS – The Murray Williams Cup (& Wayne Kearvell Passenger Cup) – still to be confirmed

SPEEDWAY – The Jack Young & Bob White Cups (senior solo & sidecar) and the Roy Bitmead & Graham Baker events (junior)

TRIAL – The 46th Peter Sparkes (Sidecar) Trophy and the Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy events – saluting legends of the sport!

    

The SA Women in Motorcycling crew will also feature heavily in 2021, with the South Coast MXC kicking things off with a Come & Try Day at Monarto in March, followed by the SA Women’s Cup for motocross to be held once again over Easter at Port Pirie, with the SA Women’s Cup for Trial (the first event in SA to have the girls & women headline) to be held in the Barossa Valley in May, and this year, complete with a Come & Try Day on the Saturday before.

Enduro, Motocross and Trial (at least) will once again feature classes for girls and women in their SA Championships for 2021, and like all classes in all disciplines, they will be subject to minimum entry requirements (check each discipline’s sup regs for these entry requirements) – so get behind these disciplines and ensure that all SA girls and women are fighting for an official Championship in 2021!

2021 certainly looks like it’s going to be a huge – and busy – year for all, and it’s already underway with Gillman and Sidewinders Speedway venues – so keep checking out the MSA calendar on the MSA website for updates. (The online calendar will start being uploaded next week!)

Below are each disciplines confirmed events (as of 27/11/2020), with those in bold font either Australian Championship, International, AND/OR, events that are happening interstate that SA riders regularly attend – but as stated above – look for additions to each discipline going forward.

COMMUNITY SPORT & COVID COMPLIANCE EVENT WITH PROFESSOR SPURRIER.

Filed Under: All disciplines, News

COMMUNITY SPORT & COVID COMPLIANCE EVENT WITH PROFESSOR SPURRIER.

On Thursday, September 3rd, Motorcycling SA attended a Community Sport & COVID Compliance event at Priceline Stadium, along with 130 other interest people representing some 70 sports and their organisations.

Guest speakers were Professor Nicola Spurrier, Dr Chris Lease, Dr Janet Young, John Mannion and Katrina Ranford, with it being a huge emphasis on sport in the COVID era- and how we can keep playing, and why it is important to do so!

The seminar was opened with Katrina Ranford speaking about inclusion in sport and why it is important that everyone have the chance to take part in all sports, with everyone directed to the Inclusive Sport SA website for more details, www.inclusivesportsa.com.au.

Professor Nicola Spurrier, who has led the fight against COVID-19 in SA was introduced next and was very positive in what she had to say in how we, as a state, have combated the pandemic, but she also warned against complacency as the risk is still relevant, especially through overseas repatriates, as well as when the borders will slowly re-open as well.

Professor Spurrier also made the following points in regards the virus;

  • There will likely be no vaccine by October, with level 1 trials taking place at the moment in Australia, with level 2 and 3 trials progressing in Europe and the USA.
  • The virus shows no seasonality – so summer will be the same as winter in regards what we should be doing and looking out for.
  • So managing the risks will also be the same through summer as what they are at present.
  • If you are sick – STAY HOME – it is the one single thing that will make a difference!
  • The 1.5 metre distancing rule – the relevance of this is that it is the distance any droplets from the body will fall, whether this be sneezing, coughing or during exercise – so it is an important tool in combating the virus!

But Professor Spurrier was also very quick to point out that it is important that we keep our spirits up, as we are doing really well as a state, and that we need to keep doing what we have been doing – and that PHYSICAL DISTANCING is what is now required, not so much SOCIAL DISTANCING, and that this is very important to everyone’s mental health on the up!

The other speakers also had some very relevant points, including;

  • WHY SA HAS DONE SO WELL – the community response across the state, along with the media and the government have all played a part in combating the virus, and to keep it up.
  • INJURIES IN SPORT (Including with blood)
    • Priority should always be given to the injured athlete – as it always has been
    • Gloves should always be worn and available to all first aid staff
    • Only the people needed should be with the injured athlete – politely ask everyone else to move away.
    • Hygiene before and after treating the athlete – washing hands, etc
  • MENTAL HEALTH
    • Never underestimate the power of sport and its healing powers
    • There is no rule book to this pandemic – so think across all possible scenarios
    • Don’t be afraid to put your hand up and ask for help
    • Also, don’t be afraid to put your hand up and OFFER help – we are all in this together
  • 2021 MAJOR EVENTS
    • Take the current mindset into planning any major events for 2021
    • For events with 1000+ attendees, identify the key points of the event and plan and manage accordingly
    • If it doesn’t affect the running of the event – limit the number of attendees (remembering that this may not be possible due to many reasons, junior sport with parent/guardians, financial, etc)
  • INDOOR EVENTS – HAVE THEY BEEN TREATED HARSHER THAN OUTDOOR?
    • Firstly – there is NO evidence that the virus is more of an indoor virus than outdoor but;
      • Indoors, with less space, it has been proven to be harder to control
      • This may be due to less ventilation in many indoor venues
      • It is less likely to contract the virus outdoor
    • There is a solid world-wide evidence base around these points
  • PRACTICAL CHANGES TO SPORT – managing risks and staying COVID compliant across all sports
    • Analyse your sport, and practises and make changes as needed, like;
      • Only have people at practises that need to be there – so limit numbers
      • Stagger the starts of your sport (more specific to indoor)
      • Ensure all players and officials have their own drink bottles, etc.
      • Don’t share equipment – as much as is practical or necessary for your sport
      • Ensure people don’t attend sick – and if they do, perhaps ask them to go home!

Following this, there was a Q& A (question & answer) session from people in the crowd;

  • COACHING, what can coaches do to stay safe?
    • Physical distancing – as much as practical, depending on the sport and limit any contact to what is actually needed
    • Positioning of body (coach and athlete) and particularly the face – don’t talk directly, turn your face 45 degrees to each other
    • MASKS: The Government and Medical Professionals are not messaging that it is a requirement at this stage in SA, but this is not to say it may not become so in the future. It was also pointed out that under no circumstances should anyone be vilified should they choose to wear one (as that is their decision and it should be respected)
  • SWEATING; At this stage there is no medical evidence to prove that sweating helps in the spreading of the virus, as it has been proven that there is no difference in the virus from summer to winter. This also comes back to the 1.5 metre physical distancing rule in regards body droplet spread.
  • RESPONSIBILITIES; This question was raised in regards to the running of events in a public space, where people not connected with the event can come into contact with those attending the event.
    • The organisers of the event are only responsible to the people directly connected to your event – participants, officials, followers and spectators
    • The way to safeguard everyone in this instance, connected or not – is to have the COVID app, as it will alert if needed
  • INTERSTATE COMPETITORS/ATHLETES;
    • There are exemptions available for certain events where competitors can apply for exemptions, specifically where it comes to the success of that event
    • But at this stage it is still a wait and see with the borders and it is too early to make any concrete decisions
  • MENTAL HEALTH (a number of people from the Sammy D Foundation asked questions)
    • It is important to remember that it is not exclusive to today’s youth, and everyone should be checked on, regardless of age
    • Use technology, Zoom, etc, to stay connected with friends and family
    • Call or text your friends – just because!
    • Relax more – go for a walk, along the beach, in the country, etc
    • Think differently – outside of the box and what you’ve always done – as COVID has made this something that will now always be relevant
    • If you are struggling – reach out, ask for help
    • Also – if you see someone you think is struggling – reach out and offer help, volunteer, be there for them

All in all, this was a great seminar to be a part of as sport looks to move forward in a COVID world – and the importance of ensuring that sport can continue – and should continue, and we, as sporting bodies should be doing we do all we can to make our chosen sport happen – and not look for excuses to cancel events, but look for reasons and ways to ensure they run.

TYLER HOGAN APPOINTED TO MOTORCYCLING SA BOARD

Filed Under: All disciplines, News, SA Women in Motorcycling

Tyler Hogan, a 2018 Motorcycling SA Regional Volunteer Award recipient, with a wealth of knowledge at local, National and International levels in the discipline of Trial,  as a competitor, an official, event organiser and parent to Australian representative, Connor, has been appointed to the Motorcycling SA Board as a director.

In announcing the Board’s appointment, MSA President Brenton Matters stated; “On behalf of Motorcycling SA I would like to welcome Tyler to the Board, she certainly has a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to her input on the future direction of the sport. Along with Dominic Burman, even though we are in difficult times with COVID, it certainly is an exciting time to have new faces with new ideas on the MSA Board.”

Added Tyler, who is also a country school principal in the Southern Flinders Ranges, “I am looking forward to the opportunity to represent members of Motorcycling South Australia.”

Motorcycling SA welcomes Tyler and wishes her all the best as she starts a new chapter of her motorcycling journey.

ELITE RIDER PROGRAMME POSTPONED UNTIL 2021

Filed Under: All disciplines, News

ELITE RIDER PROGRAMME POSTPONED UNTIL 2021

After many weeks of planning and trying to get the 2020 Elite Rider Programme to fit into the condensed calendar that motorcycle sport is faced with due to COVID-19 and re-start restrictions, the heart breaking decision to postpone the Programme until 2021 months has been made!

With riders from every discipline in the 2020 Squad, it has become just too difficult to make the Programme workable in what will be, a very full calendar for the rest of 2020.

This is also relevant as some of the venues that were planned to be used will/may not be available due to other commitments that will take preference.

At this stage the current Squad will be held over and Motorcycling SA will look to an April and July date in 2021 to run the Camp.

Motorcycling SA will also keep in touch with the 2020 Squad, and will seek to promote them and their results throughout the year, and over summer 2020/21 for the speedway guns – as they are an amazingly talented group and will very probably be chomping at the bit to do great things on track this year!

Motorcycling SA look forward to watching their journey into the 2021 Elite Rider Camp!
