The Moto Edition Podcast

JACOB ROULSTONE is first and foremost a motorcycle racer.

In this episode, Jacob and Jorge discussed the back story behind his life which has been dominated by motorcycles and racing. He first rode a dirt bike at 3 years of age, and has gone on to become a flat track champion, junior road racing state title holder, a participant in the Asia Talent Cup, European Talent Cup, JuniorGP World Championship, Red Bull Rookies Cup, and racing around the world in Moto3 for KTM and Red Bull. Despite a year of set backs including broken neck and broken left hand in 2025, he showed his grit, determination and genuine talent by still finishing his season with a very respectable points tally.

Jacob also talked about the 2026 season coming up, and his plan to race in two different championships, one in Australia and one in Europe. Listen to the podcast to find out more.

MIKE JONES and STEVE BROUGGY: These two champions have been working together in a coach / pro-rider relationship for a long time now. It began way back when Mike was learning his craft through the California Superbike School under the tutelage of Steve, evolved into a formal relationship where Steve supported Mike personally and also with the aid of Pro-level Coach Adam Raffe, and has progressed now to where we have Mike riding in ASBK right up at the pointy end of the field and Steve providing coaching support in tweaking the well refined riding of a talented champion.

Enjoy this discussion, I’m sure there’s something interesting in it for everyone who seeks to improve their riding and even their coaching.

APRIL RYAN is a go-getter. She is also a motorcycle enthusiast through and through and very active advocate of females in motorcycling.

April founded the East Coast Female Riders, a Facebook group that has grown significantly since inception, and now has almost 10,000 members. She did this to create a "safe space" for female riders to go to, and connect with women who would positively support their motorcycling activities. 

She is accredited as a Level 2 Motorcycling Australia coach, the first woman to do so. She also founded her Track Start Training Company which is aimed at addressing not only the women’s issues in the sport, but the giant niche between road riders or nervous track riders and getting into racing/becoming a track day fiend.  April sits on the board for Motorcycling Queensland, the State Controlling Body for Motorcycling Australia. She also sits on the sub-committee for Motorcycling Australia’s Women in Motorcycling.
