OCEANIA JUNIOR CUP INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED

Since its inception in 2019, the FIM and Dorna Sportssupported bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) has become firmly established as a stepping-stone to the international racing arena.

The OJC concept was created by Motorcycling Australia, as a method of setting up a junior race academy that would produce a nurturing environment for young riders to experience road racing at a national level, learn, improve and showcase their talents.

Even before the inaugural OJC commenced in 2019, Dorna Sports officially recognised it as a Road to Moto GP category. As a result, a formal pathway was created for the most outstanding OJC riders to progress to other international categories, such as the Asia Talent Cup and Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.

The OJC formula is simple, but effective. Competitors aged from 11 up to under 16 compete against each other on identical Yamaha YZF-R15 race prepped motorcycles, equipped with Pirelli tyres, Öhlins suspension, RK chains and Motul oil.

In the interests of making the entry-level pathway into motorcycle road racing as hassle-free as possible, the OJC package includes transport of the motorcycle to and from each round of the series, along with preparation and maintenance during and between events. This removes barriers to entry for competitors and families who may not have the logistics or technical expertise to prepare their own motorcycles. OJC riders also receive branded Ricondi leathers, AGV helmets, TCX boots, gloves and a team uniform as part of the deal.

One of the benefits of the OJC is the emphasis on young rider education through the year as well as specialised training camps.

In 2021, OJC competitors will be treated to a two-day intensive training program at Winton Motor Raceway as part of the junior road racing academy program and conducted by former MotoGP rider Damian Cudlin.

Competitors will receive tuition on racing and riding techniques as well as undergoing gruelling fitness training. They will also be educated on off-track aspects of the sport, such as career planning, media and sponsorship.

Even though it has only run for two seasons, OJC has already earned a formidable reputation as a breeding ground for stars of the future.

The inaugural series champion, Carter Thompson, was selected to participate in the Asia Talent Cup in 2020 and while the season did not progress due to COVID, he stayed race sharp by participating in some local events and series, as well as winning the ASBK YMF R3 Cup title.

Thompson will be joined on the 2021 Asia Talent Cup grid by last year’s OJC champion Marianos Nikolis and runner-up Tom Drane, who both impressed during the selection process.
