Junior Australian Champion on the Road to MotoGP - Archie Schmidt

Junior Australian Champion on the Road to MotoGP - Archie Schmidt

Archie is a 14 year old from Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills.

A natural, talented and highly competitive Road Racer, Archie solidified his place as a top Junior Road Racer in Australia by taking home 4 state and national Racing Championships in 2023, including the Oceania Junior Cup that runs along side the Australian Superbike Championship. A massive accomplishment in his debut year to national level racing competition. 


Archie has been selected by Dorna as a permanent rider in the 2024 Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup. The selection process took place in Malaysia in 2023 and Archie was one of 10 kids selected out of hundreds of aspiring racers from 20 different countries.

The Asia Talent Cup runs alongside 6 rounds of the MotoGP World Championship and is a pathway to the MotoGP.

The first round was held in Qatar in March where Archie finished the round inside the top 10.

Archie is solidly working towards the MotoGP dream and proud to be representing Australia!


To make the most of this incredible opportunity Archie needs to train with the top junior racers in the world, receiving high level training, with some of the worlds top coaches, comes at a cost.

We are fundraising money for Archie to train with the best coaches and competitors the world has to offer to give him the greatest opportunity and the highest levels of success. 


The funds raised will be put towards training, travel, coaching costs, bike maintenance and insurance.
