<p>Eager to put in a strong off-season of training to hit the ground running at his season opening home round at the iconic Phillip Island circuit, he&#8217;ll be hoping to get the ball rolling in a positive direction from the off, as Bayliss is keen to repay the faith shown in him by his team.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;I’m very excited to be racing for Team D34G Racing again. I feel like last year I didn’t get to show my speed due to some injuries and unlucky moments. I really enjoyed being with these guys and I’m happy to be going around the clock one more time to show how fast we can be. A big thank you to all of my sponsors, supporters and the whole D34G Racing for giving me this opportunity,&#8221;</em> he declared.</p>
<p>Team owner Davide Giugliano is equally looking forward to seeing what the hotshot can achieve. <em>&#8220;Obviously I’m really excited to dive into this new season and I can’t wait to get to the track. I’m really happy with this year’s rider line-up. We will continue with Oli and for him it’ll be another season of growth and we’ll try to maximise the work done this year, which for him was a bit of an unlucky one due to injuries. In any case I’m happy with him and he surely has mine and the team’s full trust,&#8221; </em></p>

<p><strong>Tom Edwards &#8211; World Supersport</strong><br />
Having impressed in the World Supersport Challenge series last term on his way to winning races and being crowned vice-champion, talented Australian Tom Edwards has secured a ride with the D34G Racing team for 2024, where he&#8217;ll be teammates with countryman Oli Bayliss.</p>
<p>Chomping at the bit to get stuck in and stamp his mark again in the Challenge category that competes in the European World Supersport rounds, it&#8217;ll be fascinating seeing if he can adapt quickly to the Ducati after being on a Yamaha.</p>

<p><em>“I’m very excited to be joining the D34G racing team next season and to be staying in the WorldSBK paddocks. I made a lot of progress towards the end of last season, and I’m looking forward to keeping that momentum going. I’m confident that the team and I will work well together and be competitive,&#8221;</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It’ll be great to be under the leadership of team owner Davide Giugliano with all his experience. Can’t wait to get on the V2 and test it out in the new year, I think it’ll really suit my riding style. I’d like to thank Davide, the D34G team, my sponsors and my supporters for the opportunity.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Jett Lawrence &#8211; AMA Supercross</strong><br />
Jett Lawrence began his first 450 AMA Supercross race in fine style by claiming a memorable victory to become the first-ever rookie in history to win on their premier class debut. Launching out of the gate masterfully to bank the holeshot, this saw him ideally placed to avoid the early chaos to ride his own race. And that he did, on his way to leading every lap against an absolutely stacked field at Anaheim.</p>

<p>Making a real statement with his seven-second win under the bright lights, there was no denying the gifted 20-year-old, who emphatically carried his exceptional form from last year into the season opener.</p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Jett Lawrence began his first 450 AMA Supercross race in fine style by claiming a memorable victory to become the first-ever rookie in history to win on their premier class debut&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<hr />
<p>&#8220;It’s an unreal thing to grasp, winning my first 450 Supercross. With how many years the sport has been around, you’d think someone has done it before, so I’m definitely grateful and happy to do it for Honda; it’s an awesome feeling getting into the history books for them. The season’s off to a great start, and hopefully we can keep doing the same throughout the season,&#8221; explained a delighted Jett.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10473" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10473" style="width: 480px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-10473" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-4.jpg" alt="Clinching his second consecutive 250 AMA Pro Motocross championship, Jett Lawrence was unquestionably a cut above his competitors once more. Photo: HRC." width="480" height="720" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-4.jpg 480w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-4-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10473" class="wp-caption-text">Sitting third in the standings and well and truly in the title hunt, he&#8217;ll be hoping to get back on the box.

<p>Heading into the second round in San Francisco, and this bout certainly didn&#8217;t go to plan here because of the savage muddy conditions throwing a real spanner in the works for everyone. Forced to negotiate the rain and the sloppy and unpredictable conditions, Jett struggled to find his groove. To his credit, though, he fought through some missteps to claim ninth in the shortened main.</p>
<p>Next stop on the calendar was San Diego, which posed a great opportunity for him to rebound, in a round where the weather played its part too inside Snapdragon Stadium, with the rain making things challenging once more. Although it wasn&#8217;t anywhere near as bad as San Francisco, it still made the racing treacherous.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mp-9ZwGd0l4?si=RcHy0PE7SrWr73e_&amp;start=62" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p>
<p>Starting the weekend with a nasty crash on press day, this left him with a jammed thumb. But, to his credit, the phenom battled the pain and a rough start to ride to a solid fourth. Engaging in a robust duel with Jason Anderson, the pair&#8217;s altercation after the race stole the headlines, with them clearly annoyed at one another in the heat of the moment. Jett has since apologised for his role in the disagreement. Sitting third in the standings and well and truly in the title hunt, he&#8217;ll be hoping to get back on the box when the series heads back to Anaheim.</p>
<p><strong>Hunter Lawrence &#8211; AMA Supercross</strong><br />
Hunter Lawrence&#8217;s step up to the 450 class certainly wasn&#8217;t what he envisaged, as the Honda star failed to make the main event in Anaheim on his class debut. Enduring a night to forget that was littered with bad luck and adversity, the determined Aussie was justifiably disappointed afterwards.</p>
<p><em>“That obviously wasn’t how we planned for my 450 debut to play out, but there’s only one way to go from here, and it’s one I’m very familiar with: put my head down and get back to work,&#8221;</em> he asserted.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9298" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9298" style="width: 854px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9298" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2.jpg" alt="With two consecutive top 10 finishes in the books as he adjusts to the 450 step, expect him to keep steadily improving." width="854" height="720" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2.jpg 854w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2-300x253.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2-768x647.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PitBoard-Aussies-Racing-Overseas-Lawrence-Jett-Hunter-2-696x587.jpg 696w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9298" class="wp-caption-text">With two consecutive top 10 finishes in the books as he adjusts to the 450 step, expect him to keep steadily improving.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Responding positively in the muddy quagmire in San Francisco, there was much to admire about how he rallied to secure a credible 10th. Ready for more at round three in San Diego his day at the office started off on the right foot, for he grabbed seventh in qualifying before the rain arrived.</p>
<p>Managing the hazardous track wisely to progress from his heat and into the main, it was terrific to see him claim a confidence-boosting seventh in the main. <em>&#8220;We had a good learning curve. Unfortunately, our result didn’t really reflect the riding in the main event &#8211; I feel like we rode very well. A lot of positives and an improvement on last weekend, so we just have to keep on building. Our time is coming,&#8221;</em> he told the HRC website.</p>

<p><strong>Aaron Tanti &#8211; AMA Supercross</strong><br />
Making the full-time step to race 450 AMA Supercross for 2024, the former Aussie champion and WSX heavy hitter disappointingly suffered an injury after a nasty practice crash in the lead up to Anaheim 1. Forced to delay the start of his crusade, this latest setback came at a terrible time, for he&#8217;d only just returned to training following breaking some ribs at the WSX round in Abu Dhabi.</p>

<p>&#8220;Well not the post I want to be doing leading into A1. Not long ago I had a practice crash and I thought everything was okay, but when I rode a few times after and I had some issues and unfortunately found out yesterday that I need to get them fixed. Devastated to say the least, but I’ll be back when I can to continue the series. Thank you to everyone supporting me and the whole PRMX team,&#8221; he stated.</p>
<p><strong>Toby Price &#8211; Dakar Rally</strong><br />
The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing star produced an accomplished showing in his 10th Dakar Rally to claim fifth in the brutal event. Riding with intelligence and consistency as he navigated the 12 stage slog smartly, his best finish was second in the final leg.</p>

<p>When speaking after the completion of the gruelling Dakar Rally, Price cut a reasonably content figure, saying: <em>“For us, it’s definitely been a really tough event this year. Thankfully, it’s always a good result when you can get to the finish line in one piece at the Dakar, and here we are, happy and healthy.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Looking back over the week, we were never far off the pace, just made a few too many mistakes out there and as you know that can cost some serious time at Dakar. The whole Red Bull KTM team have been incredible over the two weeks and have worked so hard. It’s a shame we’ve not been able to reward them with a podium. Big credit to the top guys as well, they got it done this year, so congratulations to them.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Daniel Sanders &#8211; Dakar Rally</strong><br />
Although his preparation for the iconic Dakar Rally was far from ideal courtesy of him suffering a broken femur back in May, the popular pilot put in a valiant effort to finish a very respectable eighth.</p>
<figure id="attachment_14613" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14613" style="width: 1920px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14613" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders-.jpg" alt="Although his preparation for the iconic Dakar Rally was far from ideal courtesy of him suffering a broken femur back in May, the popular pilot put in a valiant effort to finish a very respectable eighth." width="1920" height="1279" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders-.jpg 1920w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--300x200.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--768x512.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--696x464.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/BikeReview-Daniel-Sanders--1068x711.jpg 1068w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-14613" class="wp-caption-text">Although his preparation for the iconic Dakar Rally was far from ideal courtesy of him suffering a broken femur back in May, the popular pilot put in a valiant effort to finish a very respectable eighth.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Considering he underwent his final surgery in November, and this makes his achievement all the more impressive. Bagging many top five results and displaying just what a class act he is on the big stage, there was plenty to admire about his character-filled performance.</p>

<p><em>“Coming in I didn’t have much preparation at all. I broke my femur really badly eight months ago and I only had December on the bike to prepare, so all I could really do was spend as much time on the bike as possible. But we were able to get the bike good and here we are at the finish line,&#8221;</em> he shared.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;My last surgery was only three months ago, and the bone still isn’t fully healed. I didn’t expect to be here back in November so I’m really happy to finish another Dakar. It’s certainly been a challenge this year and I’ve missed a lot of racing during the last two years, so my goal now is to stay healthy, then return bigger and better next year. I’ll be doing everything I can to make that happen.”</em></p>

<p><strong>On-Track</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jack Miller &#8211; MotoGP<br />
</strong>The month of October has been a consistent one for Aussie MotoGP star Jack Miller. Bagging an impressive fourth in the Sprint and a sixth in the red-flagged race in Japan due to the brutal wet conditions, he backed this up with a solid ninth and a seventh in Indonesia to ensure he headed into his home GP with some handy momentum.</p>
<p>Venturing to the famed Phillip Island track in front of his adoring fans, there was much reason for positivity from his weekend in an event where the main race was run on Saturday due to the impending severe wind and rain on Sunday.</p>

<p>Banking eighth in qualifying ahead of the main race, this gave him a decent grid position to enjoy a strong body of work, where he finished seventh after engaging in some pulsating battles throughout.</p>
<p><em>“It was a decent Grand Prix. I had a bit of fun with the guys there. The bike was working good, and I cannot complain. I felt I was losing a bit too much time in the last sector but then also struggling a bit with the front tire. I had to try and nurse it. We learned from that today. We didn’t really want that result at our home GP but it was a solid finish and we were not too far away from the front guys. Happy enough and happy with the bike. We have a bit more work to do, but things are going good.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Joel Kelso &#8211; Moto3</strong><br />
Joel Kelso marked his home race in memorable style by bagging his first-ever Moto3 podium. Having earned himself second on the grid, the Darwinian immediately got down to business in the race, displaying excellent speed and race-craft to keep pace with the frontrunners.</p>
<p>Putting on a wicked show for the supporters to eventually bag third despite a late moment, Kelso rightfully cut a delighted figure afterwards, stating: <em>“Bloody brilliant! I’m over the moon. It was tricky conditions, but I just had to go for it at my home GP. I wanted the win but then made a little mistake, so I thought ‘Just put it in the bag’ and get it home safely. There was a lot of pressure, but now we’ll finish the year and try to bring the best results to CFMOTO,”</em> he gleamed.</p>

<p>In another exciting piece of news for the ambitious Kelso, it’s been confirmed he’s signed with BOE Motorsports in Moto3 for 2024. <em>“I am very happy to be able to join a great team like BOE Motorsports for another year in Moto3. I am very grateful for this opportunity; my goal will be to fight at the front and show everyone what we are capable of.”</em></p>

<p><em>“I am feeling super-grateful to have the opportunity to step up with this team. I just have to say thank you for this incredible chance and thanks to everyone involved for believing in me,”</em> he expressed. <em>“It will be my rookie season, and I have so much to learn, but it’s already been a good time riding in Moto2, and I am so happy to be jumping up to Grand Prix now. I am just so excited.”</em></p>
<p>To shift the attention back to his title triumph, the way the 18-year-old handled the pressure and weight of expectation expertly to get the job done was nothing short of impressive, as he triumphed at Aragon after logging the quickest time in qualifying to underline his tremendous talent emphatically.</p>
<p><strong>Harrison Voight &#8211; European Moto2 Championship</strong><br />
Back in action at Aragon, Harrison Voight once again showcased many glimpses of his undeniable class. Starting the opening race all the way back in 20th, it was eye-catching how he embarked on a scintillating charge through the field to work his way up to sixth. Disappointingly, though, while running close to the group of riders up to second, a mistake from a rival forced a collision, which saw him pull out courtesy of some subsequent pain in his leg that meant he was unable to change gears.</p>

<p>Bravely lining up for the second race, 13th was the best he could manage in a bout that saw him toil on valiantly following a rough start. With one round left in the series, all eyes will be on the finale, where the Stylobike hotshot will be eager to close out his season in an uplifting fashion.</p>

<p><strong>Josh Brookes &#8211; British Superbike</strong><br />
Josh Brookes ended his 2023 crusade with commendable efforts at the final two rounds at Donington Park and Brands Hatch. To start with the former, his 7-8-3 finishes were a tidy return, considering he qualified back in 17th. Although he wasn’t entirely satisfied with his output at the rain-interrupted round due to him posting great results and rides at the same venue earlier in the term, Brookes remained upbeat with his podium placing.</p>
<figure id="attachment_14131" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-14131" style="width: 1080px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BikeReview-Josh-Brookes-Via-BSB-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14131" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/BikeReview-Josh-Brookes-Via-BSB-.jpg" alt="Brookes ended 2023 with commendable efforts at the final two rounds: Donington Park and Brands Hatch.

<p>Even though a nasty spill in first practice and a bike issue in qualifying ensured he had to line up for the opening bout in 18th. It was an unsatisfactory way to begin the finale, but the way he salvaged his weekend was notable. Struggling with bike setup all weekend and never feeling comfortable, much credit must go to Brookes, who fought on doggedly to claim a seventh, an eighth and a ninth to conclude his campaign in a credible seventh in the standings.</p>
<p><em>“I’d like to thank everyone; all the supporters, the team, sponsors, the fans – everyone who has put something into the team and hopefully next year we can get some better results and fight for the championship,”</em> he told the team’s website.</p>

<p><strong>Jason O’Halloran &#8211;  British Superbike</strong><br />
Jason O’Halloran closed out his season with an outstanding showing on his way to a terrific victory at Donington before wrapping up his 2023 with a mixed weekend at Brands Hatch. Despite blasting out of the blocks to bank pole position with the fastest-ever BSB time at the circuit, the opener didn’t go to plan, for tyre issues ensured 17th was all he could muster.</p>
<p>A man on a mission in race two, the ‘O’Show’ scorched his way from 21st to fourth before the race was red-flagged just as a podium beckoned for the Aussie. The third duel was all about the McAMS Yamaha star, as he shot off the line to then ride to an accomplished win in what was a statement body of work ahead of Brands Hatch.</p>

<p>While this last stop on the calendar wasn’t one to remember, even if he bagged pole and was second in the opener, as a crash and a seventh scuppered any hopes he had of challenging for the title. Ultimately obtaining sixth in the standings to close his tenure with the team, who will no longer be running a BSB outfit, an emotional O’Halloran expressed his gratitude for all they’ve done for him and stated what a fantastic time he’s had under the awning over the years.</p>
<p><em>“I think together with the team, we can look back on what we’ve achieved with great pride. We’ve had an incredible journey over the last five years, and I wish everyone all the success in their next steps. A huge thanks to Steve Rodgers, Wendy, Tina and all the other people who make this happen,” </em></p>
<p>Now moving to the Cheshire Mouldings Kawasaki, it’ll be intriguing to see how he fares with his new squad in 2024.</p>

<p>After constructing some exceptional rides in the qualifying race and in his first moto to carve through the park on the rutty, hard surface, his final moto masterclass was a joy to behold, with him rising to the occasion to outfox the legendary Ken Roczen with aplomb to secure a magnificent victory.</p>
<p><em>“The first race, the start wasn’t too bad, I was there. I was in the top 10, and I thought I had a good chance of winning it, but I made an aggressive pass on the outside and went down. Starting dead last wasn’t ideal, but I had a pretty good flow around the track and felt fit, and didn’t get tired at all. My last six laps were the fastest, so I was happy with that,” </em></p>
<p><em>“The second moto I wanted to go out and win&#8230; I had a decent start, around third, then I made a quick move for second and was chasing Kenny again like back in America. I felt at home, although he had a lot better lines than I did at the start, so I was following him for a bit, but once I was able to get around him, I put my head down and flowed just like home. It was good to get the win and finish on a high.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Hunter Lawrence &#8211; MXoN for Australia<br />
</strong>Coming into the showpiece dealing with a nerve issue in his back, Hunter Lawrence deserved plenty of praise for putting his body on the line for his country. Kicking things off with a third in his qualification race, it was impressive how he adjusted to the rugged conditions at Ernee. He then carried his form into the Sunday by securing a 10th and a fifth to bag second in the MX2 class behind Tom Vialle, with him overcoming the pain barrier strikingly to play a pivotal part in his team’s score.</p>

<p><em>“It was the best result ever for Australia, so it’s awesome, but I’m already looking forward to next year. It was a wild day, the track was super gnarly, it was brutal so we’re happy that everyone was able to do their best, and the boys gave their all, and left everything on the track. If everyone gives their 100% effort, you can’t ask for much more,”</em> reflected the Honda wizard.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Ferris &#8211; MXoN for Australia</strong><br />
Experienced campaigner Dean Ferris headed to Ernee fresh from winning the ProMX MX1 crown, eager to impress in what was his seventh MXoN. Surviving a savage crash on the Saturday unscathed, the aim for him was to produce just one sound ride to accompany the Lawrence brothers. And that’s exactly what he did by getting a 12th to stand up and be counted when his country needed him.</p>

<p><strong>Jack Miller &#8211; MotoGP</strong><br />
Starting his September with a solid eighth in the heat at Catalunya, this was a good way for Jack Miller to end the weekend considering he missed Q2, meaning he had to start the Sprint and the main race 13th. Desperate for improvement on the Sunday after 16th in the Sprint, the team worked their wonders by making some crucial bike changes, with these the key catalyst to him being able to push through the pack to claim eighth.</p>
<p>Struggling again at Misano on the Saturday, 15th in the Sprint was the best he could muster. Frustratingly this was as good as it got for Miller, who was bundled out of the race by Michele Pirro when running 14th. The first ever Indian Grand Prix was next on the cards for the KTM ace, and Miller began the round strongly by charging from 16th on the grid to secure an admirable 7th in the Sprint.</p>

<p>The Sunday posed a new set of challenges for the number 43, as he battled for feel and grip, which ensured he wasn&#8217;t able to keep up with the frontrunners to ultimately come across the line in 14th.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Not too high, not too low this weekend,&#8221;</em> he reflected. <em>&#8220;I struggled today. I didn’t have the grip I needed from the get-go both front and rear. I couldn&#8217;t carry any corner speed at all. I had a bit of contact into turn one as well, which wasn’t ideal and then tried to make up too many positions in one go on the second lap. It was an uphill battle from there and our pace wasn’t anything like Saturday. It is a bit of a head-scratcher. Fingers crossed we can work on what we found out this weekend and what we tried at the Misano test for Motegi.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Joel Kelso &#8211; Moto3</strong><br />
Even though his 2023 campaign has been littered with ups and downs, Joel Kelso deserves credit for sticking at it, as he continues to illustrate his talent.</p>
<p>The highs this month have included him bagging another front row spot in qualifying at Catalunya and from how he had some fantastic early pace in Misano. Meanwhile, the negatives have arisen from him admitting he needs more aggression in the races and from him crashing out in India.</p>

<p><em>“I got caught up in turn one and then made four positions on the first lap  but I had contact with a rider into turn three and that ruined my exit. When I opened the gas &#8211; race over,&#8221;</em> he told the team&#8217;s website. <em>&#8220;I’ve been struggling a bit with being aggressive in races so that first period before the crash was a small positive from today. We’ll be ready for much better in Japan. We’ll be fighting.”</em></p>
<p>With plenty to work on and the Darwinian motivated to close the term on a good note in the upcoming outings, it&#8217;ll be intriguing seeing if he can piece it all together starting in Japan.</p>

<p><strong>Senna Agius &#8211; Moto2</strong><br />
Back in action in Moto2 filling in for Darryn Binder on the Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact team, Senna Agius&#8217; stint started in unsatisfactory fashion at Catalunya, with him falling short of his expectations on an eventful weekend that ended with him crashing out on the Sunday.</p>
<figure id="attachment_13456" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13456" style="width: 696px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/BikeReview-Senna-Agius-Via-Intact-GP-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-13456 size-large" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/BikeReview-Senna-Agius-Via-Intact-GP--1024x683.jpg" alt="A nasty spill at Catalunya sadly ended his weekend here on the Friday, though, thus meaning he missed both races and the chance to wrap up the title.

<p>Eager to put that effort behind him, a fired up Agius demonstrated some notable pace in qualifying at Misano &#8211; coming in less than eight-tenths from the pole sitter. An early crash in the race ruined his momentum, however, with the youngster high siding to end his day. Leading the European Moto2 Championship, Agius will recalibrate his attention to this competition in his quest to reign supreme come season&#8217;s end.</p>

<p><strong>Jacob Roulstone &#8211; Red Bull Rookies Cup &amp; JuniorGP Moto3<br />
</strong>Fresh from finishing fifth in the hugely competitive Red Bull Rookies Cup following his 6-10 race finishes at Misano, in a year that&#8217;s seen him make some brilliant progress, Jacob Roulstone has been rewarded by earning a ride in Moto3 for 2024 with the outstanding Red Bull KTM Tech3 outfit.</p>
<p>Following in the footsteps of the likes of Miller, Miguel Oliveira, Brad Binder, Deniz Oncu and Pedro Acosta, who have all come through this KTM pathway, the Aussie prospect is in good hands to continue along on his upward trajectory.</p>

<p><em>“I’m really excited to be joining Red Bull KTM Tech3. They are a very experienced and professional team that have brought through many great riders. Stepping up from the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and FIM JuniorGP won’t be easy, but with the team, the people around me as well as my own determination, I believe we can have a decent rookie season,&#8221;</em> a delighted Roulstone explained.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Thanks to Herve, KTM and Red Bull for this amazing opportunity. I cannot thank my family enough for all their support so far. I want to end this year strong and then I cannot wait to get into the 2024 season already.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Josh Brookes &#8211; British Superbike</strong><br />
After enduring some difficult rounds, plentiful positivity could be extracted from Josh Brookes&#8217; round at Oulton Park. Kicking off this stop on the calendar with fifth in qualifying, this set the tone for him to enjoy a handy weekend at the office aboard his FHO Racing BMW. Going on to notch a trio of fifth place scores, this represented a quality, consistent event for Brookes, which was a much-needed uplift given his recent struggles.</p>
<p>Situated seventh in the championship hunt, Brookes offered some fantastic insight in his post-race debrief, stating: <em>&#8220;We scored three fifths this weekend, which is an improvement on previous rounds; I wasn’t even going to be greedy, I was hoping for a podium this weekend rather than a win.</em></p>

<p><em>&#8220;The three fifth places are the best we could achieve, the last race was strong and I stayed close to the lead group for the longest period of time, but we’re still missing a couple of tenths, and we have to be realistic that the lap times I’m able to do aren’t good enough to rival the podium. We have got to keep our heads down, keep working away and improving. I think coming to a track we’ve been to already this season meant we didn’t have to make adjustments, we just set the bike up the way it was before and focused on the electronics. </em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;People forget we’ve got a new bike this year, so every time we go to a new track none of the information we have from years before is valuable, and in fact it does us an injustice as those settings compromise our progress because the bike is different now. I think people just assume you’re going to go to the next round and pick up where you expect and it’s proven not to be like that, as we’ve had a lot of work to do. But I think coming back to a circuit we’ve been to before has boosted our results and the next two rounds we’ve also been to before, which I anticipate to work in our favour.”</em></p>

</strong>While he was unable to carry over his sensational form from Thruxton to Oulton, Jason O&#8217;Halloran did his best throughout on his way to claiming two eighth places and a ninth. Aside from experiencing a minor bike issue, the team and rider were largely left searching for answers as to why they were missing that little something extra compared to their competitors.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s been a difficult weekend really. It&#8217;s not ideal but I did the best job I could &#8211; we&#8217;ve just been lacking something and no matter what we did we couldn&#8217;t improve the feeling,&#8221;</em> he lamented.</p>
<figure id="attachment_13004" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-13004" style="width: 696px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-13004 size-large" src="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-1024x681.jpg" alt="O’Halloran got his 2023 BSB series off to a consistent start by going 4-5-4 at Silverstone." width="696" height="463" srcset="https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-300x199.jpg 300w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-768x511.jpg 768w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-696x463.jpg 696w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran-1068x710.jpg 1068w, https://pitboard.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PitBoard-Aussies-Brooks-Ohalloran.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-13004" class="wp-caption-text">&#8220;It&#8217;s been a difficult weekend really.

<p><em>&#8220;I finished all the races which is positive, so we&#8217;ll go through everything and try to understand. Donington is a different track compared to Oulton, so hopefully we can turn up there in a different place, reset after this weekend and go again.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Onwards and upwards will be the order of the day as the series heads to Donington Park, where an uptick in performance will be on the cards for O&#8217;Halloran, who sits sixth in the standings, and the McAMS Yamaha squad.</p>

<p><strong>Jett Lawrence &#8211; AMA Pro Motocross and SMX<br />
</strong>Having achieved the absolutely remarkable feat of going undefeated in his debut campaign in the 450 class of AMA Pro Motocross, Jett Lawrence immediately altered his focus to the new SMX Playoffs. And he didn&#8217;t disappoint by reigning triumphant in the three race format, with his clutch effort at the finale at the LA Coliseum to go 1-1 ensuring he got the job done and took home the one million reserved for the winner.</p>

<p><em>“On the track it’s a one-man show, but behind the scenes it’s so many people,”</em> he explained after his SMX success. <em>“The team is awesome, and that’s what allows Chase, me and the other riders to have the best equipment we can. That also goes for my trainer O’Show [Johnny O’Mara], my dad was a big key, and also my brother &#8211; every day we were grinding to try and be better. To go out and get that [championship] is not only a massive achievement for me; it’s a big thank-you to the people who support me and helped me get to where I am now.”</em></p>
<p>Up next for the Aussie sensation is the Motocross of Nations in Ernee, where Australia, whose team consists of the Lawrence brothers and the immensely experienced Dean Ferris, head in as one of the favourites.</p>

<p><strong>Hunter Lawrence &#8211; AMA Pro Motocross and SMX<br />
</strong>After wrapping up the 250 AMA Pro Motocross title at the final round to accompany his 250 Supercross crown, Hunter Lawrence was ideally poised to join his elite sibling to claim SMX glory. But sadly it wasn&#8217;t to be for Hunter, as a nasty crash in qualifying at the LA Coliseum forced him to miss the night show due to him aggravating an existing back injury.</p>

<p><em>“Unfortunately, Hunter Lawrence will not take part in tonight’s motos at the Los Angeles SMX round. The reigning AMA Motocross 250 champ and 250SX East champ was already banged up from a hard fall in free practice yesterday. Then in today’s second timed qualifying session, he landed wrong from a jump and aggravated his back to the extent that he’s in too much pain to race. Get well soon and great job on an amazing season,&#8221;</em> read the team&#8217;s statement.</p>
<p>His focus will now immediately shift to his recovery ahead of the MXoN at Ernee as well in his search to be at full fitness for the prestigious event.</p>

<p><strong>Mitch Evans &#8211; MXGP<br />
</strong>Mitch Evans&#8217; MXGP season ended in disappointing fashion, with the superbly skilled pilot having to miss the last two rounds courtesy of his previously injured wrist flaring up. In immense pain and wisely opting to head to Belgium to begin treatment, sadly the injury also meant he had to take himself out of the running for the MXoN, which came as another brutal blow to end what&#8217;s been a hugely challenging term for the departing Kawasaki star.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;It’s a real shame to miss the final race of the season and my last race with the team; however it is time to take the right steps to heal correctly. I would like to thank Kawasaki and the team for their understanding and patience and for always believing in me this year. Unfortunately we weren’t able to achieve the results we both deserved, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with such professionals. I want to wish the team and Romain the best of luck for Matterley and the Motocross of Nations,&#8221;</em> he insisted.</p>
