“Next summer will be my forty-first consecutive season racing as a competitor and I still have more to do. I’m still challenged and motivated by the sport I love, so, I’m as determined as ever to remain highly competitive and win as many major meetings as I can”.
In addition to winning eleven Australian Championships, Darrin Treloar’s glittering career has also amassed victories in the 2011 World Championship and multiple Gold Medals in the Oceania Championship and FIM World Cup.
