The Honda rider is looking forward to the challenge, and making the most of his last performance at the Australian Junior MX. "I’m really looking forward to the 250cc 15 year class as this is my last year as a Junior,” Mellross said. "I am feeling pretty good as I have just come back from eight months at the Millsaps Training Facility in America, and am looking forward to riding at the Monarto Track even though I have only ever been on it once. I’m really looking forward to competing and striving to obtain the best results in appreciation to my sponsors this year and especially Honda and Glenn Bell. Also, this being my last year as a Junior is going to be really emotional as I have never missed an Australian title since I was five years old so it is sort of like the end of an era and the beginning of my next stage by stepping up.” Mellross will be joined in Murray Bridge by a brilliant line up of Junior Motocross riders for an action-packed week of riding and competition. The 2011 Championship will be hosted by the Murray Bridge Sporting Car and Motorcycle Club at the Monarto Motocross Track in South Australia from 1-8 October.
