What an incredible year 2024 this has been! Embracing the challenge of national-level competition at the ASBK Oceania Junior Cup has been nothing short of amazing.
Liam expressed his excitement, “Racing alongside some of the best young riders in the country has tested me, but I’m rising to the occasion with every lap. This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions—pushing myself to my limits, learning from every session, and constantly aiming to improve.
The personal growth has been immense. Every lap, I’ve shaved off time, fine-tuning my technique and strategies. My focus has been to soak in every lesson, not just from the track, but from my mentors, my family, and the incredible support team behind me. The level of competition has been intense, but I’ve embraced the challenge with a positive mindset.
A special highlight was with my little brother on the Peewee bikes. There’s something so fulfilling about sharing this experience with him—it’s a bond that adds a whole new layer of joy to this journey.
My final day at The Bend was unforgettable. I shattered my personal best lap time, improving from 2:41 in qualifying to a blistering 2:34! The key moment that led to this breakthrough was a critical adjustment to my bike’s sprocket, expertly tuned by my dad. That tweak gave me some extra power coming out of corners, and it immediately boosted my confidence. Suddenly, the bike felt more alive, and I was able to push harder, attack the track with even more focus, and really unlock the potential of the setup. It was one of those moments where everything clicks, and it felt amazing.
The 18-corner layout of The Bend has been challenging yet rewarding. It’s a track that demands both precision and bravery, and I’ve had the chance to explore every inch of it. With its technical sections and long straights, every corner became an opportunity for me to dig deep and improve. It really did feel like a personal playground, where I was able to explore my limits and refine my skills.
But the biggest news of all is that I’ve secured a wildcard entry for the 2025 ASBK Oceania Junior Cup season, thanks to the amazing support from Motorcycling Northern Territory! This is a massive step in my racing career, and I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity to race in the full season next year. It’s been a dream of mine to compete in the Oceania Junior Cup, and now it’s becoming a reality. This endorsed wildcard spot represents not just the hard work and dedication I’ve put in, but also the belief that Motorcycling Northern Territory has shown in me.
Having the chance to race in a full season of the ASBK Oceania Junior Cup is something I’ve been working towards for a couple of years. I know it won’t be easy, and the competition will be fierce, but I’m ready to give it my all. This is a huge step in my racing journey, and I’m committed to making the most of it. The challenges ahead will only make me stronger, and I can’t wait to take on the entire season, race after race, lap after lap.
A massive thank you to my family, team, and sponsors for their unwavering support throughout this journey. You’ve all played a huge role in getting me here, and I’m deeply grateful. A special thanks to Motorcycling Northern Territory for believing in me and providing this incredible opportunity. I’m more motivated than ever to prove that I’m ready for the next chapter and the challenges ahead.
Thank you to all my fellow riders, and everyone who has cheered me on. Your support means everything to me. The road ahead is long, but with every lap, I’m more determined to make the most of it. On to 2025—let’s do this!”
