New Zealand local Jake Whitaker has taken out the 2010 Australian Moto Trials Championship at Thunderbird Park – Mount Tamborine, on Sunday 22 August.

Overcoming challenges from some of Australia’s best riders including; Brisbane local Boyd Willcocks, West Australian Neil Price, and reigning Champ Colin Zarczynski, the 19 year-old put in a solid effort, keeping his points low enough to take the win.

Speaking at the end of the day the Kiwi, and reigning (and three-times) New Zealand Moto Trials Champion, was thrilled to take out the Aussie Title on his fourth attempt.

“It’s a bloody good feeling!” Whitaker said.

“I’ve wanted this title for about four years now so it’s a really good feeling.

“I had a stunning first lap on Sunday, scoring only four points - I felt way more comfortable on the bike than I did on Saturday, and I really enjoyed it out there.

“I’ll now go finish the New South Wales Series, there are a few more rounds of that, and I’d like to do another stint in Europe however it all depends on sponsorship!”

As voters flocked to the polls on Saturday, the 2010 Australian Moto Trials Championship kicked into gear at Thunderbird Park - Mount Tamborine.

With the sun finally breaking through after two days of rain, it was New Zealand import Jake Whitaker, who despite a slow start to the day, managed to finish strongly taking the lead ahead of Sunday’s final battle.

“I was third after the first lap, and had a few unlucky point scores,” Whitaker said.

“Going into the second lap I felt much better and it showed in my results - the course here is great, very similar to New Zealand, so I’m quite comfortable out there.”
