“Kay finished the season strongly and sixth overall was a good reward for another consistent weekend. Even after the mistakes in race one he kept fighting and showed good speed to recover, and in the second moto he again made some very strong passes after a difficult start. The last three GPs have shown the progress we’ve made together and it’s encouraging to see him still riding with confidence and strength at the end of such a long season. We can now take that momentum into the winter, keep working on the small details and come back ready to make another step in 2027.
Courtney can be proud of the way she has worked her way back into racing this season. Coming into the year after such a long period away meant we knew it would take time, but she has shown the determination and professionalism we all know she has. It’s been great to see her confidence build as the season has gone on and we’re finishing the year with a much clearer picture of where we are. Now we can have a proper winter of preparation and focus on putting everything in place for next year.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank all the sponsors and team for their invaluable support throughout the year, making this possible. We are really excited with what 2027 has in store and can’t wait to work closely with our partners to achieve our goals!”

“Sixth overall was a good way to end the season with three consistent GPs in a row. In the first race I made a pretty big mistake and went off track and then another which put me back to eighth but I fought back strongly to seventh. I don’t know what went wrong at the second start; I was last into the first corner but I made some good passes already on the first lap and two more to sixth, close to fifth. I have enjoyed the travelling to the overseas GPs; the season went so quickly in the end and I still feel strong so now I’m Iooking forward to a good winter and a successful 2027.”

“A better start helped but they put a lot of water down again so I had to be cautious in the early laps, But then I could up my pace, caught Lara and was challenging for a win until I went down in a turn. That was a bit of a bummer as I lost my rhythm but the speed was there and there were a lot of positives this weekend. I’m proud of what we achieved this season; it was always going to be difficult after a whole year out of competition and no training; it was tough but we improved at each round and we know what we have to work on for next year.”
