The four categories will reunite for the first time since Tamworth in 2023, coming together at a track which has hosted top-tier Australian Speedway Championship rounds over the last three years. In 2025, that included the final chapter when Brady Kurtz powered to championship glory ahead of fellow FIM Speedway Grand Prix rider Jack Holder.

Michael West was the last Australian U21 champion in 2023. For Albury pocket dynamo Cooper Antone, it’ll be a special December in front of a partisan home crowd when he defends both U16 championships he won in Kingaroy last year. Albury-Wodonga Motorcycle Club president Shane Clare is delighted to be welcoming Australia’s foremost U21 and U16 riders for one action-packed weekend.

“We are absolutely delighted to be hosting the 2025 Australian U21, 250cc and 125cc Championships at our Diamond Park circuit,” he said. “What really excites our club is the opportunity to play a part in fostering the incredible young talent that is coming through the Australian speedway ranks. Some of these riders have already made their mark on the world stage, however there will be others at these championships who are unknowns at present but one day will be part of Team Australia and possibly become Grand Prix riders.”

Formal nominations for the U21 and U16 championships will open later this year before the line-ups are selected by Motorcycling Australia’s Track Commission. Visit the Australian Speedway Championship website for more info…
