Ricondi reaffirms commitment to Oceania Junior Cup in 2026

The BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup (OJC) is pleased to confirm that Ricondi, the premier Australian motorcycle apparel brand, will continue its long-standing partnership with the championship into 2026.

The upcoming season will mark another year of the brand’s unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of Australian circuit racing talent.

Since the OJC’s inception in 2019, Ricondi has been a cornerstone of the series, equipping young hopefuls with top-tier safety gear. In 2026, Ricondi will once again provide riders with FIM homologated leathers, boots, compression suits, and gloves, ensuring they are protected by the best technology available as they hone their craft.

Ricondi remains a dedicated fixture in the Australian motorsport community. As in previous years, the brand will be trackside at every round of the Penrite Australian Superbike Championship presented by Pirelli, offering unparalleled support to junior racers. From expert gear assistance and Tech-Air servicing to on-the-spot crash repairs with its convenient pop-up service, Ricondi ensures that every OJC rider is fully equipped and ready to take on the track with confidence.

Ricondi’s commitment to innovation and excellence is reflected in their high-performance race suits, which have continuously evolved over the years. As a leader in airbag-compatible suits, Ricondi sets the standard for safety, comfort and durability, providing the ultimate protection for up-and-coming riders.

With a legacy of quality and a clear focus on rider safety, Ricondi remains a driving force behind the next generation of Australian talent.

“We are proud to continue our long-term partnership with the BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup into 2026,” he said.

“At Ricondi, supporting the next generation of racers is something we genuinely believe in. This partnership is about more than performance and safety gear, it’s about helping young riders take confident steps forward on their journey into competitive motorsport and giving them the protection they need as they chase their potential.”

“Our Triple AAA FIM-homologated leathers represent the highest standard of rider safety available. Fully airbag compatible and engineered to the most stringent international safety requirements, they are designed to help junior riders focus on learning, improving, and developing their craft with confidence.

“What means the most to us… is being part of their journey. We’re trackside at every round, offering hands-on, personal support throughout the season. Watching these talented young athletes grow in skill, resilience, and self-belief as they pursue their racing dreams is something we are incredibly proud to be part of.”

Peter Doyle, CEO, Motorcycling Australia:
“I’m delighted that Ricondi will continue its support of the OJC in 2026,” he said.

“The company’s range of apparel makes it one of the top-line brands in the motorcycle industry, and its ongoing partnership with the OJC has been instrumental in the continued growth and success of the series.

“Ricondi’s commitment extends beyond equipment — their support via social media and trackside presence truly demonstrates how invested they are in the championship and the development of our future champions.

“I look forward to another year of racing with Ricondi.”
