Motorcycling Australia is excited to announce the introduction of the 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup, a new class that will be featured at two rounds of the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX). The 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup rounds will be held at Round 3 in Wodonga on April 16th and Round 4 in Maitland on May 7th.  

The 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup will be a part of the ProMX live stream telecast and will see the top three presented with trophies and participate in a full ProMX-spec podium ceremony. 

The goal of the 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup is to develop and identify riders who have the potential to race in the World Junior Motocross (WJMX) event in Romania on July 8th and 9th. The chosen rounds of the ProMX championship have tracks that are like the planned WJMX track in Romania and the race length will be the similar to the world event.  

“We are excited at the addition of the 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup in the ProMX championship,” said Peter Doyle, CEO of Motorcycling Australia. “The 85 Class will provide a great opportunity for young riders to showcase their skills and develop their abilities in a competitive and challenging environment, while also giving them the opportunity to experience the pressure, conditions, fans, and distractions that they will face at the WJMX event in Romania. Further, this will bring the nation’s best juniors together more regularly.  

“The ProMX championship is a great platform for young riders to take the first steps in their racing careers and the 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup will provide them with the opportunity to take the next step in their development and compete on the world stage.“  The 85cc WJMX Qualifier Cup will be an important factor in the selection process for the WJMX event, but will not be the sole criteria. The chosen riders will be selected by the MA Junior Motocross Selection Panel based on their performances throughout the season.
