“The bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup is such a prestigious championship and development program and we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. Supporting grassroots racing has always been at our core and we look forward to seeing how the championship develops this year!”
Naturally the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) will continue to unearth circuit racing stars in 2025, with 20 riders to compete in the FIM-backed and Dorna Sports-endorsed Road to MotoGP pathways program.
The expanded OJC roster – hailing from all parts of Australia as well as New Zealand – includes 12 rookies, while the balance is returning to the academy which provides young riders with everything they need: identical Yamaha YZF-R15s, Shark helmets, Ricondi riding gear and high-level coaching support led by former 500 GP race winner Garry McCoy.
The 2025 OJC season will commence under lights at Sydney Motorsport Park on March 28-29 before visiting Queensland Raceway (May 2-4) and Morgan Park Raceway (June 13-15) – all in conjunction with the 2025 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK).
