Roulstone recommits to Red Bull GasGas for 2025
Even before his first year in the Moto3 World Championship has been completed, Australia’s Jacob Roulstone has signed on for a second season in the junior GP category, inking a new deal with Red Bull GasGas Tech3 in August.
The 19-year-old from Jamberoo, NSW, made his Moto3 debut with Red Bull GasGas Tech3 this year after an international career that started with the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup in 2019 and extended through the FIM European Talent Cup, Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and FIM Junior GP World Championship.
As of the Misano round, Roulstone's best result in his rookie Moto3 season has been eighth, achieved at CotA and Catalunya, with two other Top 10 finishes at Lusail and Mugello. After 13 rounds, he's 15th in the championship and third in the Moto3 Rookie of the Year title.
“I am really thankful to be riding for another season with Tech3, as well as continuing my pathway with Red Bull,” Roulstone said. “I would like to say a huge thank you to Hervé Poncharal and the entire Tech3 family.
“I could not be happier to be able to race another year with this incredibly supportive team, and I believe that we have great things to achieve together. I look forward to continuing growing as a racer with these amazing partners.”
Hervé Poncharal, Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 Team Principal, praised Roulstone for his work ethic, especially off the track.
“Jacob clearly has met all the expectations you can have from a rider in his rookie season, and he has done a fantastic job with his crew. Not only is he a fast rider with great potential, but he is also a smart and hard-working young man, who understood from day one that results are not only coming from the race weekends, but also from the work you achieve between the races with your crew.
“He is still learning the Moto3 category, but we are confident that work will pay off, and we are excited to see what we can achieve together next season.”
