Race meetings are a bit like buses and trams, none seem to come for ages then all of sudden heaps come at once.
Last weekend we had the ASBK at The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia, where we fielded a 1 bike team with Tim Large (TL Turbo) in the Motorsports TV Supersport class aboard his Yamaha R6.
This weekend we are headed to Broadford State Motorcycle Complex for the Victorian Road Race Championship, and it will be a whole different kettle of fish for us. We will have a 12-rider team, yep you heard correctly, 12 riders in what will be a busy but massively fun weekend for our little team.
While each of our 12 riders are at different levels, all of them will have specific key areas of focus that they will be working on throughout an action packed weekend.

There will also be a few noticeable emissions for our team this weekend with a few of our riders opting to sit out this round and start a fresh in 2022.
4 x Victorian Superbike Champion Nathan Jones recently under went shoulder surgery to repair an injury sustained in a mountain bike crash, while almost fit he has opted to sit the remainder of 2021 out.
Brad Shaw and his Yamaha R1 will also sit out this round but will be back in 2022
Lee Ransetein is still recovering from a wrist injury sustained earlier in the year and will let it heal a bit more before a return.
Tyson Jones? Well we are not sure if he is retired or not to be honest... and neither is he haha!
