Not long to go now!
2 May 2024
Hi everyone - firstly we want to say a heartfelt thank you for your generous support. We are extremely grateful and really appreciate it 🥰
Not long to go now which is exciting. Jackson has been training incredibly hard and has definitely put in the hours to ensure he is in the best possible form to take on the world's best! The timing of the recent school holidays has worked out perfectly for his race preparations as he was able to spend on average, about 4-5 hours a day on his bike over the past two weeks.
We have also been travelling to Cambridge every Saturday morning for the past four weeks to attend a worlds training group from 10-12pm. This ramp is similar to the start ramp at Rock Hill so it's been great to get some good gate training in at this track.
We will start easing back on his training from Sunday to let his body and legs freshen up in preparation for race day.
UCI released the official race schedule yesterday - Jackson will race on Monday 13th May from 12pm to 5pm (Tuesday 14th May 4am - 9am NZ time). He has a huge age group with 105 entries, half of these riders coming from either Australia, USA or Canada. This will mean the top 64 riders from the first 3 motos (race rounds) will go through to the final stages.
I have set up a Whatsapp channel where we will post photos and race updates while we are travelling.
