Team Honda has employed the talents Enduro/Off road and dirt track star
Ben Grabham who will be looking to repeat
the form of his sensational debut in 2005. Australian Safari Class winner
Jamie Cunningham will also be making a
full tilt effort to claim S2 honors. The GHR Honda Racing team is being run by Desert racing expert Glenn Hoffman,
the team is planning big results in this years Championship. Team Axis Motorsports
Rodney Taplin will also be one to
watch in the S2 class, with some great speed and experience as well.
Team Husqvarna is putting its eggs all in one basket in the Premier S2 450cc Class with
Troy Herfoss leading the charge.
Herfoss comes into the opening round under a cloud as the young gun is still not 100% fit after breaking his arm in
final round of the 2005 championship. Herfoss was clearly the fastest Supermoto rider in Australia during the 2005
season and proved one of the fastest in the world as he ran up the front in the AMA Series. It was only a cruel blow
at the final round of last years championship that cost him the crown after he lead right up until he broke his arm.
With six rounds to be competed Herfoss may start out slow but as he gains fitness he will soon be mixing it up at the
front of the pack.
Husqvarna will also have Queensland motocross star
Adam Cini and female racer
Rebecca Bateman aboard as they take time
out from their Motocross commitments to also compete for Husky in the S1 and the Women‰Ûªs class respectively.
Aprilia will be throwing everything into their debut season and may very well surprise many with the talents of
reigning S1 champion
Josh McFarlane and young gun
Jake Magee. The
Kevin Magee lead team will be hoping to emulate
the success of their world championship counterparts who where always front runners in 2005.
The 2006 Championship promises to bring the racing to the people and with open pits, autograph sessions and plenty
of off track entertainment for the kids it will be worth grabbing a spot track side to see Australia's best slug it out.
