Oceania Junior Cup: Race Results From Philip Island

The 2025 BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) redefined the meaning of close racing when round four was held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on September 6-7.

It was mesmerising from start to finish, kicked off in spectacular fashion when 20 riders and their striking Yamaha YZF-R15s flashed across the line separated by just 1.648 seconds in race one.

Xavier Curmi came out of the Saturday rolling scrum with the biggest smile before New Zealand wildcard Lucas Hyslop and Callum Campbell won the two races on Sunday.

With slipstreaming a key battle front at Phillip Island, it was nigh on impossible for riders to break free, which placed an extra premium on race craft and again emphasised why the class is the perfect launching pad to begin circuit racing.

Campbell (11-2-1) and Curmi (1-5-7) finished on equal top-scoring points at Phillip Island, with the former awarded the overall courtesy of a higher finishing position in race three.

Hunter Charlett (4-6-2) was third overall, which helped him move up from fifth to fourth in the championship on 176pts.

At the front, Connor Lewis (222pts) is the new leader in the official Australian Junior Road Race Championship class over Chaz Williams (213pts) and Curmi (179pts).

The weekend started well for Williams – who had led the OJC standings from race one at Sydney Motorsport Park – when he was second in race one after starting from the front row of the grid, before he went down within sight of the finish line in race two.

That saw Lewis take over the championship lead, which he extended to 9pts in race three when he finished third and Williams was sixth.

But with two rounds and six races still remaining, the 2025 OJC battle is still exceptionally wide open.

2026 Golden State Mini & SuperMoto Series Coming To California

A collaboration of noted racers – Hawk Mazzotta, Tyler O’Hara, John Hopkins, and Bronson Pearce – have announced the 2026 Golden State Championship, the premier mini road racing and supermoto championships slated to be held in California in 2026.

The 2026 Golden State Championship will feature four events at four different racetracks in California – Redding Motorsports Park in Redding, Apex Racing Center in Perris, Buttonwillow Raceway Kart Track in Buttonwillow, and Sonoma Raceway Karting Center in Sonoma.

Series logo

All four rounds will be qualifying events for the 2026 Mission MotoAmerica Mini Cup National Finals in addition to AMA Supermoto and other showcase and feature classes. The AMA Supermoto series will have unique dirt sections at each round with each round promising something for everyone, even the youngest racers with Stacyc racing classes. The championship will be AMA sanctioned, and every event will feature the same structure, rules, classes, and procedures.

Each of the four rounds will be two-day events (Saturday and Sunday) with some rounds set for Friday practice. There will also be new-racer schools, hosted by Hawk Mazzotta Moto Camp, at every event.

Racer, riding coach, promoter and Hawk Mazzotta Moto Camp owner Hawk Mazzotta and wife Nina, with their kids.

“I have been wanting to host a proper series like this for years, and now it is coming to fruition. I am so heavily submersed and invested in the youth riders and really want to help the movement, this is only going to help the process. California brought up the best racers in the world at one point, I’d like to see that again.

I have partnered with three of the most solid men, as both human beings, and racers. I am confident that together we will do great things for the sport.

Our focus is to provide an extremely professional, safe, fun, confidence inspiring series that is very welcoming to all, and promotes growth in the sport and helps pave the way for our American talent to the next levels.” –Hawk Mazzotta

“I am super excited to be collaborating with the Golden State Championship to host the event at Sonoma Raceway in July for the MotoAmerica Mini Cup qualifier. Last year for our inaugural event it was a huge success and I can’t wait to see everyone at the races.” -Tyler O’Hara

Bronson Pearce (in the middle) — SuperMoto racer Bronson Pearce with his crew

“I’m beyond excited to be a part of running AMA Supermoto. This sport has given me so much throughout my career, from racing in the Supermoto World Championship representing Team USA at the Supermoto of Nations. I know firsthand the dedication, passion, and energy it takes to compete at the highest level, and I am looking forward to using that experience to help grow the series and create opportunities for the next generation of riders.” -Bronson Pearce

John “Hopper” Hopkins during his MotoGP career

“I’m so excited for this new Golden State Series & truly honored to host one of the rounds at my very own circuit Apex Motorsports Park. I’m even more excited for the future of our sport! It’s so awesome to be linked up and working with fellow longtime Pro Racers, world renowned Organizations & brands who are all just as passionate, motivated & willing to put in the work to see this sport excel to all new heights. The trophy alone is so cool that I personally might need to dust off the cobwebs & get back at it…” –John “Hopper” Hopkins

CIV: American Kristian Daniel Jr on The Podium At Imola

Podium on Saturday, crash on Sunday for Red Bull Rookies Cup rider in Italian championship wild card.

American rider Kristian Daniel Jr. returned to the CIV Italian Moto3 Championship this past weekend at Imola (September 6–7, 2025), riding for Spanish manufacturer Beon Automotive. The 16-year-old, who competes full-time in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, already knew the Imola circuit well after racing there last year, where he also scored a podium. This time, he picked up right where he left off.

Race 1: Saturday Podium

Kristian started the weekend strong, qualifying 6th and carrying that speed into Saturday’s race. Staying with the front group throughout, he fought hard to claim a well-earned 3rd place finish, adding another Imola podium to his record.

Race 2: Sunday Setback

On Sunday, Kristian was again showing competitive pace, holding 5th place by lap six. Unfortunately, a crash ended his race early. He walked away without injury and was quick to highlight the positives from the weekend despite the disappointment.

Looking Ahead

The Imola round gave Kristian more valuable mileage in the CIV Moto3 and another chance to work closely with Beon Automotive. With Saturday’s podium and solid speed across the weekend, it was another step forward in his development on the international stage.

Next up, Kristian heads to Misano for the final round of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, where he will find out if he is selected to continue in the championship for a third season.

British Talent Cup: Americans Raymond and Correa Top10 at Donington

American Julian Correa finished 10th on his Honda – Mortimer Racing during British Talent Cup Race 1 Saturday morning at Donington Park, in England.

Correa placed sixth in Saturday afternoon’s Race 2 and followed it up with a 13th-place finish in Sunday’s Race 3.

Meanwhile, American rider Joshua Raymond Jr. was forced to retire from Race 1 on his Fibretec Honda by Mlav Racing. He bounced back on Saturday afternoon with a strong seventh-place finish, and on Sunday, Raymond secured a spot in the top ten in Race 3.

“Bit of an up and down weekend at Donington Park. Race 1-dnf, Race 2-7, Race 3-P10. Josh was fighting with the lead group until he lost the front. His lap times were on point all weekend. He’s heading to Spain to train and he’ll be ready for assen in two weeks.
The team did an amazing job as always. He can’t wait to see what he can do at Assen.” –Josh Raymond Sr

More from a press release issued by R&G British Talent Cup:

The R&G British Talent Cup returned to Donington Park for Round 6 of the 2025 season, with fans treated to three races across the weekend. Ethan Sparks (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) set the tone in Race 1, converting pole position into a sensational victory by just 0.332s at the chequered flag following a last-lap showdown with Ryan Frost (Fibretec Honda by Mlav Racing). Frost edged out Filip Surowiak (City Lifting Team) for second, with the #75’s lead being reduced to 20 points following a P3 finish.

Sparks made a blistering start from pole, holding firm at Redgate, with Surowiak and Frost in chase. There was drama from the start, with George Bowes (GB | 67 / Edwards Racing) crashing out at Turn 1 and ending hopes of a strong result immediately. The lead group formed quickly, with Harrison Mackay (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) joining the scrap in true British Talent Cup fashion. On Lap 2, Sparks ran wide, opening the door to Frost, who slipped into the lead. Meanwhile, there was extra work to do for Jack Burrows (Burows Engineering / RK Racing), with the #16 being handed a Long Lap.

Peter Willis (WM Racing) began carving his way forward, working his way from the edge of the top 10 towards the leaders. Up front, Sparks regrouped, launching his attack on Lap 5 – regaining control of Race 1. There would soon be further drama, with Joshua Raymond Jnr (Fibretec Honda by Mlav Racing) crashing out at the final corner, setting sights on Race 2 redemption. The tension continued to brew, with positions continuing to shuffle as Mackay slipped from second to fourth in the space of two corners.

Frost briefly snatched the lead again, with Sparks searching for his opportunity to attack. The chance arrived on Lap 12, with Sparks reclaiming the advantage, setting the stage for a dramatic fight for the podium places. Meanwhile, Surowiak was beginning to show incredible pace, firing in the last lap of the race. It was elbows out action as Frost sent a sensational move at the penultimate corner, slotting into second position at the chequered flag.

Sparks held firm at the line, clinching victory by just 0.332s and banking further championship points. Frost followed closely in second, edging out Surowiak as the title battle tightened once again. Mackay took fourth, narrowly missing out on the podium, while Willis capped off a brilliant ride to complete the top five. Mason Foster (Mortimer Racing) claimed sixth, finishing ahead of Jack Dunabie (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) and Clayton Edmunds (City Lifting Team). Further back, Burrows fought his way to ninth, with the experienced Julian Correa (Mortimer Racing) closing out Race1’s top 10!

british talent cup race 1

Sparks clinches the Donington double

Ethan Sparks made it two from two at Donington Park, storming to another stunning victory in another 14-lap dash on Saturday. The #62 held his nerve, scoring a crucial 25 points, closing the gap to his title rival Filip Surowiak, who continues to head the standings and is in search of his seventh victory of the season. Behind them, Jack Dunabie capitalised on late drama, earning his first podium since Brands Hatch.

Harrison Mackay grabbed the holeshot at Turn 1, but it wasn’t long before Surowiak responded as he entered P1 following an impressive start. The opening lap delivered classic British Talent Cup action, with Ethan Sparks working his way from the second row to slot into second. Another fierce scrap was unfolding further down the field, with Mason Foster determined for a strong result, and Clayton Edmunds lighting up the timing screens, clocking purple times.

Further back, Blake Wilson led the second group of riders in an intense battle for the remaining places inside the top 10. Meanwhile, there was drama on Lap 6 for Lily Rhodes (Wilson Racing), who crashed out and ended her Race 2 early. Up front, five riders went head-to-head as the BTC provided sensational action once again for the Donington Park crowd. Sparks faced relentless pressure, showing maturity and holding firm in P1 as the #62 soaked up the pressure.

Ryan Frost launched several attacks throughout Race 2, unable to find a way past Sparks and was eventually shuffled back to third by Surowiak. The race built to a classic BTC finale, with Sparks leading the field onto the pivotal 14th lap. Surowiak initially pounced at McLeans, bringing final lap fireworks before everything changed at the Fogarty Esses when both Frost and Mackay crashed out, costing them vital championship points.

Sparks sealed his second win of the weekend with a decisive move at the penultimate corner, while Surowiak chased behind. Meanwhile, Dunabie earned a late podium in another strong day for the Kovara Projects / RS Racing squad. Edmunds took fourth, setting the fastest lap of the race in the process, edging Peter Willis, who completed the top five. Julian Correa took the flag in sixth ahead of Joshua Raymond Jnr, Scott McPhee (SMP Racing) and Blake Wilson (BWR Racing), with Jack Burrows rounding out the top 10. There was also late heartbreak for Mason Foster, who crashed out at the Melbourne Hairpin.

Frost ends Sparks’ reign in Race 3

The R&G British Talent Cup served up a thrilling finale at Donington Park, with Ryan Frost striking back on Sunday, claiming victory by just 0.251s. Frost worked hard in Race 3, clawing back some crucial championship points which were lost earlier in the weekend. Ethan Sparks charged to second, narrowly missing out on his third victory of the weekend at Donington Park. Elsewhere, Filip Surowiak stood on another podium as the #75’s championship lead comes down to just 18 points.

Although Clayton Edmunds started from pole on Sunday, it was Ryan Frost who grabbed the holeshot in Race 3, leading the pack through Turn 1. The opening laps were electric, with Sparks clawing his way through the order, soon entering the podium places after a third-row start. The #62 was on the attack, stunning the field to enter the lead for the first time on Lap 2. Title leader Surowiak had a lot of work to do in the opening stages, defending from a star-studded group in third position.

Sparks and Frost edged into the distance, extending their cushion to one second over the rest of the field. However, the cards remained in Sparks’ hands, holding a sixth-tenth gap over Frost behind. Further back, there was drama for Aeziah Divine (Fibretec Honda by Mlav Racing), who brought an early end to the weekend following a crash at the end of Lap 11. Things soon began to change in the closing laps, with Frost chipping away, as he began to close the gap to under half a second – setting up a grand finale on Sunday.

After several attempts, Frost entered the headlines, launching his decisive move at the Fogarty Esses on the final lap. It was a brave move to steal P1, and after navigating some traffic, the Fibretec Honda by Mlav Racing rider secured his first victory of the weekend, at Donington Park in dramatic fashion – ending Sparks’ dominance this weekend.

It was a crucial moment in Frost’s title race, bringing home the maximum 25 points available. Sparks and Surowiak completed the podium, with the #75’s lead in the standings being reduced to just 18 points, leaving Donington. Mason Foster and Harrison Mackay rounded out the top five, leaving Jack Burrows to finish P6 on Sunday. Jack Dunabie ended his weekend in seventh, while Scott McPhee, Clayton Edmunds and Joshua Raymond Jnr completed the top 10.

With just two rounds remaining in 2025, the R&G British Talent Cup now prepares to head to the iconic TT Circuit Assen. The championship battle shows no signs of stopping, and with 50 points in store, make sure you join us for Round 7 of the season from September 19-21 in the Netherlands!

Wayne Rainey: Grateful For Ride To The Races Support

Rainey’s Ride to the Races: Grateful for Your Support

By Wayne Rainey

This year marked the fifth running of “Rainey’s Ride to the Races” at Laguna Seca, and it was another incredible success. Together we raised $142,000 for the Roadracing World Action Fund, bringing our five-year total to over $650,000. That’s something we can all be proud of.

For me, this one was personal. To pull on my leathers and ride a few laps at Laguna Seca–for the first time in 34 years–was a feeling I wasn’t sure I’d ever experience. Riding on a specially prepared Yamaha XSR900GP alongside nine legends of our sport made it unforgettable. Laguna has always been special to me, and that day was filled with emotions I’ll carry forever.

I’m deeply thankful to everyone who came to Laguna Seca for the MotoAmerica races and supported Rainey’s Ride. What started five years ago has grown into something far bigger than I imagined. The ride now has a life of its own, and that’s because of the people who support it year after year.

A huge thanks to the legends who joined in–Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Bubba Shobert, Freddie Spencer, Kenny Roberts Jr., Rick Johnson, Doug Chandler, Ben Spies, Bud Aksland, Kel Carruthers, and Erv Kanemoto. Their time and commitment help make this event what it is.

At the heart of it all, the goal remains the same: Raising money for the Roadracing World Action Fund charity to purchase Airfence and Alpina soft barriers to protect our riders. No one can put a price on safety, and I’m grateful to everyone who’s donated through the ride and in so many other ways.

I also want to thank the California Highway Patrol for keeping us safe on the road, Gordon McCall for leading the ride, Baja Cantina for hosting the start of the ride, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and the entire MotoAmerica team for their support in making this possible.

See you all next year!

ASBK: Supersport Riders Put On a Show at Phillip Island

Round six of the 2025 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) at Phillip Island on September 7 was a wonderfully unpredictable spectacle after a band of late morning rain turned race strategies on their head.

Conditions eventually eased – in Phillip Island’s very unique way – for the final wave of races across all classes, but not before championship aspirations were solidified for some and relegated to a knife-edge for others.

We’ve already reviewed the race-winning deeds of Josh Waters and Anthony West in SW-Motech Superbike, so let’s now delve into what transpired in the Kawasaki Supersport and Race and Road Supersport 300 classes.

Round six of the Australian Superbike Championship is supported by the Victorian Government via its Significant Sporting Events Program.

Kawasaki Supersport and Supersport Next Gen

It was a massive power shift in Kawasaki Supersport from Saturday to Sunday.

After Archie McDonald’s sensational record-breaking performance in qualifying on the Stop and Seal Yamaha – and bike geometry woes for teammate and championship leader Jack Mahaffy – the prevailing view was “how far” for the Albury dasher in Sunday’s two 10-lap races.

But Mother Nature doesn’t always follow the script, with the first spots of rain appearing at the start of race one with riders on slicks.

Front row starter Jake Farnsworth (Yamaha) immediately sensed his opportunity, bolting from the start in an all-the-way triumph. It was his first victory in the category, and he was understandably elated: “I knew I had to get to the front and build into the race. It’s been so much hard work to get here, so this one’s special.”

Olly Simpson (BCperformance Kawasaki) was second ahead of Mahaffy and McDonald, who adopted a more cautious approach at the start before finding some late speed.

Tom Bramich (Yamaha) and Hayden Nelson (BCperformance Kawasaki) were fifth and sixth, while Tom Toparis (Stop and Seal Ducati) was the first Supersport Next Gen rider ahead of Luca Durning (DesmoSport Ducati) – a feat he would replicate in race two.

The second outing saw riders on wet tyres on a drying track, making tyre management critical.

Toparis and Simpson immediately settled into a nice rhythm, and were 1-2 across the finish line ahead of Nelson, Farnsworth, McDonald, Mahaffy and Mitch Simpson (Yamaha).

Simpson (199pts) is now second in the standings, moving past McDonald (195pts), while Mahaffy (220pts) still leads. Nelson (165pts), Bramich (155pts) and Farnsworth (147pts) fill positions 4-6.

Race and Road Supersport 300

Three very different scenarios for the Race and Road Supersport 300 field, with race one held on a wet track, race two in drying conditions and race three on dry asphalt.

Through it all, championship leader Scott Nicholson (Kawasaki) showed the most composure with a 2-1-3 scorecard to claim the overall from Tyler King (Kawasaki, 1-15-2), Jordy Simpson (Yamaha, 4-9-5), Tara Morrison (Kawasaki, 3-DNF-1) and Phoenix O’Brien (Yamaha, 5-2-14).

Meanwhile, surprise polesitter Ghage Plowman (Yamaha) elected to sit out the races, instead focussing on his BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup commitments.

Attrition was its highest in race one, with 17 riders going down – including Morrison and three others on the sighting lap. The first attempt at the race was red-flagged after Riley Nauta (Kawasaki) crashed at turn six and required medical assistance. He was okay, and returned for the balance of the program.

With an imposing lead of 67pts over Morrison (292 to 225), it’s now Nicholson’s championship to lose. Simpson (208pts), Jake Paige (Kawasaki, 190pts), King (190pts) and Hudson Thompson (Yamaha, 186pts) are next, with Simpson making the biggest inroads at Phillip Island – up from fifth to third.

Round six of the ASBK Championship will be held at One Raceway in Goulburn from October 3-5. To purchase tickets, click here.

Oceania Junior Cup: Race Results From Philip Island

September 9, 2025

The 2025 BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) redefined the meaning of close racing when round four was held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on September 6-7.

It was mesmerising from start to finish, kicked off in spectacular fashion when 20 riders and their striking Yamaha YZF-R15s flashed across the line separated by just 1.648 seconds in race one.

Xavier Curmi came out of the Saturday rolling scrum with the biggest smile before New Zealand wildcard Lucas Hyslop and Callum Campbell won the two races on Sunday.

With slipstreaming a key battle front at Phillip Island, it was nigh on impossible for riders to break free, which placed an extra premium on race craft and again emphasised why the class is the perfect launching pad to begin circuit racing.

Campbell (11-2-1) and Curmi (1-5-7) finished on equal top-scoring points at Phillip Island, with the former awarded the overall courtesy of a higher finishing position in race three.

Hunter Charlett (4-6-2) was third overall, which helped him move up from fifth to fourth in the championship on 176pts.

At the front, Connor Lewis (222pts) is the new leader in the official Australian Junior Road Race Championship class over Chaz Williams (213pts) and Curmi (179pts).

The weekend started well for Williams – who had led the OJC standings from race one at Sydney Motorsport Park – when he was second in race one after starting from the front row of the grid, before he went down within sight of the finish line in race two.

That saw Lewis take over the championship lead, which he extended to 9pts in race three when he finished third and Williams was sixth.

But with two rounds and six races still remaining, the 2025 OJC battle is still exceptionally wide open.

The penultimate round will be held at One Raceway from October 3-5, alongside the 2025 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul.

Meanwhile, expressions of interest are now open for riders aged between 11 and 16 to join the OJC grid in 2026.

The OJC is officially part of the global Road to MotoGP program and supported by the FIM and FIM Oceania with dedicated coaching, rider training, media and PR development and a host of high-performance training programs.
