THE 2022 CHAMPIONSHIP

2022 is certainly looking to be a huge year with numbers on the up across all events, and disciplines, so far, with most clubs seeing more and more new riders, as well as some returning after a few years – seems coming out of COVID lockdowns everyone is keen to throw a leg over and have a ride – which is awesome for the 2022 Championship!

What is also exciting is the number of young riders who are coming out of juniors and will be looking to challenge the established senior riders, and word is that there are a few senior riders already looking over their shoulders at the coming talent – Sunday’s racing could be top notch in 2022 for sure!

In the juniors, there are more than a few names across most classes that are being spoken of as possible podium place-getters in 2022, with round 1 certainly offering up more questions and unknowns than answers if pre-season ride days are anything to go by.

With that said, the 4 clubs that will be hosting the rounds in 2022 are certainly going to be in for some great action at their venues, and they are venues that are going to offer something different for each round, with the 4 rounds of the 2022 Championship being;

Round Date Club Address
1 April 23 & 24 Motocross Riders Association 65 Wilkins Rd, Gillman
2 May 21 & 22 Riverland Junior Motorcycle Club 19695 Sturt Hwy, Old Calperum SA 5341

Entries for each round will open, with all entries to be through Ridernet – as per the sup regs, which are now up on the MSA website for all to view – and there are some changes for 2022, especially in regards cross entering and finalising of results, so best have a read beforehand.

SA RIDERS GETTING IT DONE AT THE PAPERCLIP –  ROUND 2 OF ASBK 2022 IN QUEENSLAND!

Filed Under: News, Road Racing, SA Women in Motorcycling

SA RIDERS GETTING IT DONE AT THE PAPERCLIP –  ROUND 2 OF ASBK 2022 IN QUEENSLAND!

SA’s road race crew have backed up the great results from round 1, with more of the same at round 2 of ASBK 2022 – the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Motul at Queensland Raceway, over the ‘middle’ weekend of March!

9 South Aussies, plus a truck load of team members, family members and supporters, made the trek, down 1 rider from round 1 as Cooper Rowntree was forced to miss this round, but he has already said he will be back for round 3 at Wakefield Park over the weekend of April 22-24.

Word also has it that there will be yet another SA rider joining the party from round 3 as well – so 11 South Aussies in action in ASBK – simply brilliant!

And – as all, or most of our riders have social media pages, here are the ones that we know of so far, so check out their reports and thoughts on how their season has started!

Still very early in the Championship of course, but can’t help but be excited with 3 South Aussie riders sitting on Championship podiums so far, with Olly Simpson & Ty Lynch both on the Supersport podium, and, young Cam Rende sitting 2nd in Oceania Junior Cup (and getting his 2nd win of the year as well).

Shout out also to our 2021 MSA Rising Star, Sam Pezzetta, on getting his first National podium, with a brilliant 3rd in race 2 of the R3 Cup Series – super effort that in Australia’s version of ‘Moto3’ – with Sam, and fellow South Aussie, Mitch Simpson pushing each other along in the big group all fighting for the win!!

Round 2 results – and where they are all sitting in the Championship after round 2 of 8 rounds!
