Triple Australian Superbike champion Mike Jones will headline the FIM Oceania team at the inaugural FIM Intercontinental Games, set for the Jerez circuit in Spain on the weekend of November 30-December 1.

Jones will be joined in the Supersport field by Max Stauffer, Tom Toparis and Tayla Relph, while in the Supersport 300 ranks Archie McDonald, Cameron Swain, Tara Morrison and New Zealander Jesse Stroud will be on track.

“The FIM Intercontinental Games is a superb addition to the FIM motorcycle racing calendar and I’m sure it will deliver exceptionally close racing at one of the world’s great circuits,” said FIM Oceania president Peter Doyle.

“The quality and depth in the FIM Oceania team is outstanding, and I know the riders are desperate to etch their names into the history books as the first-ever winners of the FIM Intercontinental Games. It’s going to be a thrilling event.”

Team manager for FIM Oceania will be Australia’s two-time World Supersport champion and now Pata Yamaha World Superbike crew chief Andrew Pitt. TJones will captain the Supersport effort, with McDonald doing likewise in Supersport 300 for the 2024 edition.
