00 Elite Rider Training Prepared For AUSX Sprint At Adelaide
The 00 Elite Rider Training program enters Round 4 of the Australian Supercross Championship (AUSX) prepared for the intense “Supercross Sprint” racing format, as Head Coach Nathan Crawford anticipates the management of tight racing and short recovery times crucial to success at Round 4.
As the routine of Supercross sets in for the Factory riders of the 00 Elite program, Arron Tanti looks to make his presence known on the SX1 podium, following another promising round at Wollongong with 5th Overall.
In SX2, Kaleb Barham also comes off a season best 5th at Round 3, with Kayden Minear aiming to return to his Opening Round form at Adelaide, where his previous heat race wins and sprint speed will shine in the spring format.
Head Coach Nathan Crawford commented on the 00 Elite program coming into Adelaide: “The past few weeks since Wollongong have been a little hit and miss with the rainy weather making it challenging in QLD for Supercross training. It’s part of the sport and we have tracks in rotation available to us along with our off the bike training program, which we have utilised leading into Adelaide.”
“The Sprint Format is something we have been anticipating and working on with the 00 Elite riders, but ultimately it doesn’t change the fundamentals of executing a good start and early track position, which is essential for Supercross success. It will be a consistent performance across all gate drops this weekend in Adelaide that will prevail for our riders.”
Across the privateer SX2, SX3 and junior CR22 85cc Cup Classes, a strong contingent of 00 Elite riders enter Adelaide with a dedicated day of racing on Sunday as the stars of their own respective show for the multi-day format.
SX3 stand out Jack Bryne moves into 5th in the Championship following Wollongong, whilst an unfortunate injury off the Motorcycle means that on the sidelines, Nixon Darragh, will not be able to repeat his podium performance from Round 3.
The Sprint Format gives an even playing field for the Junior and Development riders on the 00 Elite program to have a breakout ride and gain crucial experience in their Supercross development journey across the weekend in Adelaide.
Round 4 of the 2024 Australian Supercross Championship takes place in Adelaide as a part of the Adelaide 500 across Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November. The event will be broadcast across free-to-air coverage on KAYO Streaming in Australia and MAVTV for international audiences.
