Multiple Australians sit amongst the list of riders invited to join the grid in the 2019 Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup following this week’s selection event at Sepang in Malaysia.

Jacob Roulstone and Harrison Voight are among the eight youthful riders from across Asia and Oceania to have been selected to join the championship, while Luke Power is listed as one of five reserve riders.

The selection event took place largely in the wet at Sepang, but it didn’t put too much of a dampener on proceedings. Over 90 youngsters were put through their paces throughout the day before the selection committee made their final decisions.

The committee, led by talent promotion director Alberto Puig, selected riders from Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan to either join the grid next year or be on the reserve list.

The current Asia Talent Cup is due be decided this weekend, with Australian Billy van Eerde leading the standings with a 12-point advantage.
