Pro MX 1 & Pro MX 2

With PROM MX 1 & 2 combining for an epic showdown, it was Victoria’s Joel Milesevic who stole the spotlight, securing a commanding win across all three races ahead of championship leader Siegah Ward & Liam Mason in third.

Will Carpenter sealed his 2024 ProMX 2 Championship win dominantly, taking a clean points sweep to win the ProMX 2 class. Close behind was Daniel Watkins, who battled hard to secure second place, narrowly edging out Caleb Walker for the overall third spot by just two points. With the Championship second and third-place contenders Noah Ferguson & Mitch Norris missing South Coast, Walker squeezed past to narrowly take over the provisional Championship second place thanks to his weekend’s efforts.

Women All-Powers

Making her SAMX Championship debut in the final round, Victoria’s Emma Milesevic made an immediate impact. She took the lead in Heat 1 and, despite facing challenges from reigning SA Champion Amy Bartsch in Heat 2, Milesevic swept all three heats to secure the Round 5 victory. While Bartsch finished second in the round, she clinched the 2024 Women All Powers SAMX Championship, edging out Emma Haylock, who took third in Round 5. With yet another SA Championship added to her impressive resume and no signs of slowing down, it remains to be seen whether Bartsch will return in 2025 to defend her streak.

Expert All-Powers

Continuing her winning streak from the Women’s All Powers Class, Emma Milesevic brought her competitive edge to the Expert All Powers division. After a close second place in Heat 1, she dominated the final two heats to secure the Round 5 class win. The battle for second and third place was intense, with Championship leader Aaron Van Zetten ultimately taking silver despite a challenging start. After finishing fifth in Heat 1, Van Zetten recovered with third and second-place finishes in Heats 2 and 3. Jayden Hank, who clinched victory in Heat 1 but faced challenges with two sixth-place finishes in the subsequent heats, ultimately secured third place on the podium. Meanwhile, Lucas Brereton, a top contender for Round 5, saw his weekend take a turn after a crash in Heat 3, despite strong performances with third and second places in the earlier heats.

Rounding out the 150/250cc 13-U16Yrs class Championship would see a battle royal unfold between Cambell Cadd, Noah Rochow & Jayke Hansen for those last Championship points. Cambell Cadd started strong with a Heat 1 victory over Noah Rochow and Jayke Hansen. However, Noah Rochow demonstrated consistent performance, securing the Round 5 win with two second-place finishes and a first. Cambell Cadd, despite his Heat 1 win, had an unfortunate mid-race mistake in Heat 2, placing him third, and finished second in the final heat. Jayke Hansen rounded out the round 5 podium thanks to his third, first, and third heat finishes.

Clubman

Entering the Round 5 South Coast finale with a strong lead, Ian Ellis appeared poised to secure the Clubman 2024 Championship. However, as always, the unpredictability of racing meant anything could happen after the gate drop. Jayden Hank made a push for the championship points with a decisive Heat 1 win, finishing ahead of Ellis and Lashford. Despite the shifting positions and intense competition throughout the class, Ellis maintained his consistency to win Round 5 and clinch the 2024 Championship. Thomas Horn finished second in Round 5, while Archer Colwill rounded out the podium in third.

Despite closing the gap in the Vets 35Yrs-44Yrs Championship to just 15 points, Bradliegh Thompson was unable to surpass Warren Carrol for the Round 5 win or the overall Championship. Carrol delivered an exceptional weekend of racing, securing both the Round 5 victory and the overall top spot.

Demonstrating his mastery of the track at South Coast, Kye Little had an exceptional weekend, fending off strong competition from Joshua Whitehorn to secure the Round 5 win. The battle for the top was intense, with Dylan Groball finishing second in Round 5. His performance puts him in a strong position to potentially take over the 2024 Championship lead if the standings among the top four remain unchanged.

Great Southern Security 150/250cc 12-U16Yrs Girls

With Emily Lambert missing the final round due to injury, the championship race became more competitive. Danielle Churchett seized this opportunity, putting herself in a strong position by finishing third in Heat 1 and winning Round 5 with two first-place finishes. Her impressive performance set her up to take over the championship overall once the results are finalized. Ava Sparrow narrowly missed out on the win, finishing second in the round by just one point with her 1-2-2 heat scores. Tahlia Felton secured third place for Round 5, holding off a strong challenge from Amelia Gwiazda.

85/150cc S/W 12-U16Yrs

Xavier Freeborn showcased consistency across the weekend, finishing third in Round 5.

Great Southern Security 85cc 11-U16Yrs Girls

Continuing their strong performances from the Round 4 Ceduna event, Maddi Bahnisch and Lacey Thompson dominated the weekend’s heats. Bahnisch took an early lead with a win in Heat 1, but Thompson responded with a victory in Heat 2. Unfortunately, Bahnisch did not compete in the final Heat 3, allowing Thompson to secure both the final Heat win, Round 5 overall & 2024 Championship victory. Matilda Ryan’s steady third-place finishes in all heats earned her second place for Round 5, just ahead of Paige Kitchen.

85/150cc S/W 9-U12Yrs

Mason Ezergailis and championship leader Riley Mullen went head-to-head in a thrilling showdown, with Mason narrowly edging out Riley by just 0.912 seconds in a dramatic Heat 2 finish. Mason’s efforts secured him the round win, while Koby Binnion put in a strong performance to claim third place for the weekend. With Mullen’s second-place weekend finish, he now has locked down the 2024 class championship.

65cc 10-12Yrs

Mason Ezergailis and Riley Mullen continued their bar-to-bar battle in the 65cc 10-U12Yrs class, with Mullen entering the weekend aiming for his second championship of 2024. Despite a similar outcome to their 85cc to 150cc class showdown, where Ezergailis dominated all heats to take the round win, Mullen had done enough throughout the season to secure the overall 65cc 10-U12Yrs Championship. Lachlan Murdoch rounded out the Round 5 podium in third place, holding strong despite Brax Chittleborough edging ahead in Heat 3.

65cc 7-9Yrs

With only 10 points separating Kobe Smart and Bailey Thompson heading into the final round, Kobe knew the pressure was on to secure the Championship, and he delivered in dominant fashion. Smart claimed victory in all three heats, locking down the overall and leaving the remaining podium spots up for grabs. Rory Walter stepped up to take second place with consistent finishes of 4-2-2, narrowly edging out Bailey Thompson, whose steady third-place efforts throughout the weekend secured him the final spot on the podium.

50cc 7-U9Yrs

Entering the final round with an unassailable lead and the 2024 50cc Championship already secured, Oliver Thredgold set his sights on finishing the season with one more victory. However, it wouldn’t come easy, as Carter Williamson put up a strong fight. While Thredgold claimed the win in the first heat, Williamson took control of the remaining heats to secure the overall Round 5 win and elevate himself to second place in the Championship standings, ahead of Leo Williamson. Kade Chittleborough’s consistent third-place performances throughout the weekend earned him the final spot on the Round 5 podium, capping off a stacked 2024 SAMX Championship.

Rockhopping SA – GASGAS 2024 SA Trial Championship: The Ultimate Showdown at Mt Pleasant!

Filed Under: News, State Championship, Trials

As the 2024 SA Trial season reaches its thrilling finale, the Juventus MCC is excited to bring the Rockhopping SA – GASGAS 2024 SA Trial Championship to Mt Pleasant on September 14th and 15th. This highly anticipated event will showcase South Australia’s top trial riders alongside leading competitors from across Australia, all vying for the prestigious 2024 SA Championships.

The weekend promises an exhilarating display of trial riding talent. With 20 senior riders and 19 juniors set to compete across the two days, expect intense action and fierce competition. In addition to these competitive classes, a range of non-competitive riders will also participate, highlighting the diverse skill range of South Australia’s top trialists.

The excitement ramps up with NSW’s multiple Australian Champion and Australian representative, Colin Zarczynski, competing in Trial 1, while Aaron Long and Grant Stephen will go head-to-head in Trial 2. Over the two action-packed days, 17 junior trial stars will showcase their skills across Junior A, B Open, and Trial 1-3 classes. Don’t miss the chance to see rising talents like Cooper Harry, Eve Bentley, and Haydon Barwick in action, alongside 2023 winners Kody Irrgang (Trial 4), Lucinda Cowan (Junior Women), Isaac Schultz (Junior A), and Cadance Long (Junior B Women), all aiming to make their mark at Mt Pleasant.

With so much on the line and a diverse lineup of riders, the Rockhopping SA – GASGAS SA 2024 Trial Championship is set to deliver an unforgettable weekend of trial riding.

Adrian Harry, a long-time supporter of the Rockhopping SA – GASGAS SA Trial Championship and Juventus MCC member, shared his enthusiasm for the event:

“Yeah, it’s awesome to host the 2-day 2024 SA Championship. On a good note, our state is strong, with Australia’s best in male and female classes. However, date clashes mean they are overseas competing in the Trials des Nations, leaving the Championship open for the taking. We have expert rider and ex-Aussie champ Colin Zarczynski from NSW, who will be expected to lead the way. We also have a strong field of juniors in SA who will be right there with him, watching every move.

Biased opinion alert: we have the most varied property in the state, with sections including logs, big and small, arena-style sections over cable reels and concrete pipes, and a sandpit-type section with no rock steps where the top 3 classes will tackle the same line. Full catering and camping will be onsite, so I’m looking forward to hearing all the ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’ stories around the campfire Saturday evening!”

The 2024 SA Trial Championships promise an incredible weekend of trial riding! With free entry for spectators across both days & fully homemade catering, there’s no better place to be. Join us from 9 am on Saturday and 8:30 am on Sunday at the Mount Pleasant Venue, 736 Angas Valley Road. Bring your family and immerse yourselves in the thrilling competition and vibrant atmosphere as we celebrate the end of an extraordinary season. Don’t miss the chance to witness some of the best riders in action and enjoy a weekend full of family fun!
