The 2025 season has come to an end. The last round at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park Tailem Bend was especially challenging, crashing twice after being taken out in Qualifying 300 Supersport and the last Yamaha R3 Cup race of the year and a 3rd time when the rain came mid race. There have been lots of positives from the year even though the end result doesn't reflect the progress made. 2nd in the NSW State Titles at Sydney Motorsport Park and getting down to a 1:43.9. A Wild card invite for the Yamaha Blu Cru Asia Pacific R3 Championship, 24th to 1st in the wet at Phillip Island along with a fastest lap, finishing 4th and being nominated for Motorcycling NSW Rider of the Year Award. To the people who have supported me this year, I am extremely grateful, without you, none of this would be possible.

Thank you to everyone.

I want to thank Yamaha Blu Cru Asia Pacific, Yamaha Motor Australia and Motorcycling Australia for the amazing opportunity to compete in the R3 APAC Championship. My main goal was to learn and enjoy the experience and I met some awesome new people. With limited time on the bike and needing to set it up i knew it would be tough. I was 17th in Qualifying, 10th in Race 1 and 19th in Race 2. It was an experience I will never forget.

Round 1 of ASBK - Australian Superbikes at the World Superbike Championship was less than Ideal. Practice 1 was fairly good, ending up P14 out of 41, however the bike needed some adjustments and new tyres for our 1 and only Qualifying session. In Qualifying we had high hopes, however I had a coming together with another rider at Lukey Heights on the first lap, causing me to crash heavily and the bike sustained a bend frame and swingarm. I got back onto the bike, into the pits, we fixed what we could and went back out with only 5 mis left. The best I could manage was 29th, extremely disappointing considering we had the pace to be in the top 6. Race 1 we reverted to the spare bike which was too slow so dad changed the suspension and did an engine change before race 2. Race 2 and 3 were a challenge, trying to move forward but the best I could achieve was 27th. We now have an enormous amount of work to do before Sydney Motorsport Park in 3 weeks.
I want to thank everyone who supports me
