Kiama’s next motocross champion Jack Nunn is flying to Romania in July to compete in the 2023 World Junior Motocross Championships.

The 14-year-old recently placed second for the NSW and Australia titles, which qualified him to represent Australia in the 85cc category between 7th and 9th in Bucharest.

 The Australian team will be led by professional coach Ross Beaton. CEO of Motocross Australia Peter Doyle congratulated Jack and all of the other riders chosen to represent Australia. “Do us proud and enjoy every moment. With Ross Beaton as Team Manager, I have no doubt that this team will excel.”

Even though Jack is part of the Australian team, riders compete in each event as individuals.

Jack won’t have to wait long for his next big race. The family will travel straight from Bucharest to Darwin to the Australian Junior Nationals, where Jack was recently selected to represent NSW.

Jack’s dad, Michael, says the family are very happy to be rewarded with the opportunity for Jack to compete on a global stage. He wants to thank everyone who has supported him on his journey.

Longtime supporters of Jack, BBR 102 motorsports team, have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help fund the trip. Including the cost of flights, accommodation, bikes and other related expenses, the trip will cost approximately $25,000, which a small amount has already been covered for by Motorcycling Australia.
