Current Crop Of Young Aussies


Recommended Posts

In my opinion Australia is about to unearth the best crop of youngsters they and possibly other nations have seen in a very long time.

 

There are so many talented teenagers about to be unleashed on the world stage.

 

At this moment I'd say the pick of the bunch is Alex Davies, hot on the heels of Darcy Ward this kid is going to be very good, but there are many more.

 

Tyson Nelson has only just turned 16 and looks an outstanding prospect, Taylor Poole, Sam Masters, and Michael Penfold all look like they could do very well in the sport and there are a few under 16's coming through too, thanks in no small way to the 125 and 350cc scene.

Well it could be a right ol ding-dong battle....as i think Denmark have a crop of youngsters to match......

Having seen Alex Davies,Taylor Poole and Sam Masters,i agree they do look good.Along with Darcy Ward,yes they do look like they should make a good team in the future.But watch out for Michael Jepsen Jensen,Lasse Bjerre and then still on 80cc World Champ Mikkel Michelsen and his friend Mikkel B.Jensen.Both are very very good.And part Dane/part Aussie(well he is named after Crumpie),son of John Jörgensen,Jason.Here is a foto of jason in his Danish/Australian kevlars.Jason Joergensen.And maybe Brian Kargers son,Peter who has only been riding for about a year,but looks pretty good.......

Yes, its should be good for the sport. Although the big dufference with the young Aussies these days is that most have two years of 350 racing experience in them before they turn 16.

This years Australian Under 21 Championship was full of 16/17 year olds, and they were really going for it.

lets not forget about the generation above them though as they have already got past the first few hurdles

 

Holder, Batchelor, Gathercole, Ward, Proctor ................... surely the best crop out there at the moment for their age?

 

The Aussies are certainly putting something good in the water!

He's riding for Newport Hornets today vs. Plymouth at reserve. He had a spin on Friday evening after Newport vs Glasgow, and spent his evening watching the GP up in the bar with his dad, Wato and some Newport supporters.
