“We’re incredibly pleased to welcome back our returning riders for another season with the NORA CRS Development Team! Their commitment to the programme, their teammates, and their own development over the past 12 months has been outstanding to see. Without a doubt, 2026 was our most successful season yet, and that’s down to the hard work, dedication, and determination of these boys both on and off the track. We can’t wait to continue working alongside this fantastic group of riders and their families, supporting their journey, celebrating their achievements, and helping them reach even greater success in the year ahead. Let’s make 2027 even bigger and better!” – Gemma Barton (NORA CRS Development Team Manager)
“I feel privileged and very happy to be continuing with the team for 2027. The knowledge I’ve gained this year from Coach Robb has really helped. I’ve really enjoyed being part of a team, the support from team management and the riders/family’s has been great.” – Ronnie Morgan (Small Wheel 85cc)
“Absolutely buzzing to be asked to stay on the team for another year! This year has been a lot of fun with great people, amazing experiences, and new challenges pushing me to do my absolute best, and that’s all thanks to NORA CRS Development. It’s made me feel like a real professional on and off the track. It’s a privilege to represent them and work with them for another year and I’m excited for what’s to come in 2027.” – Fred Joyner (Big Wheel 85cc)
“I’m really excited to be joining the NORA CRS team again for 2027. I’m looking forward to seeing what the year will bring and making the most of every moment, especially as it will be my final year on the Big Wheel 85. My team experience in 2026 has been really good. I’ve really enjoyed riding the tracks and, most of all, I’ve loved making new friends and getting to know my teammates. It’s been a great experience, and I’m looking forward to building on it in 2027.” – Max Beard (Big Wheel 85cc)
“After what has been a really difficult 2026, I’m incredibly grateful to NORA CRS Development Team for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to ride for the team again for the fourth year in 2027. This year has tested me in so many ways, but I’ve learned a lot, grown as a rider, and come out even more determined. I’ve got so much to prove, and I’m ready to work harder than ever to show what I can do. A massive thank you to everyone at NORA CRS for having faith in me and giving me this opportunity. I’m so excited to continue this journey and represent such an amazing team.” – Jesse James (Big Wheel 85cc)
“2026 has been a strong year for me with the NORA CRS Development Team, we had a couple of set back with injuries and pushed through to secure some very solid race results in the Plews Tyres British Masters, MXGB Youth and the NORA92 British Cup. I cannot wait for 2027 and I think it’s going to be a big year for the team bringing on new sponsors and I think we are really going places.” – Rafe Symons (Big Wheel 85cc)
“I am so grateful to have been asked to join the NORA CRS team for a 2nd year! 2026 didn’t go as planned for me at all, but really enjoyed being part of the team and can’t wait to see what is ahead for us all in 2027. Thanks to everyone at NORA for all your help and support so far.” – Aiden Wait (Youth 125cc)
“It’s been a disappointing 26 season, following an ACL injury, but I’m really pleased to have the opportunity to join the team for a second year in 2027! This season had a few highs before my injury, I picked up a several wins and some strong results at the British nationals, my biggest achievement was a win at the NORA92 British Cup, which was extra special because it was the first win for the team at the British Cup! I met Jeffery Herlings at Oxford Moto Park which was pretty cool, and also Coach Robb came over from America which was another highlight of the year for me. I’m looking forward to next season, moving up to the 125 class and hopefully bring home some good results.” – Seb Brown (Youth 125cc)
“I’m excited to work with the team again in 2027, after this season was so successful, I think 2027 will be really strong. 2026 for me was a good first year on the 125cc. The youth class is so fast so I am very pleased with how well I’ve done, with many wins at club meetings and some very strong results at the national’s and NORA92 British Cup. It was unfortunate that a small injury mid season knocked me out of Championship contention, but I’ve managed to get back up to speed and had some brilliant results lately, and next season I will be back fighting for contention.” – Theo Brown (Youth 125cc)
“I was really pleased when I was asked to be part of the NORA CRS Development team for a second year. I’ve really enjoyed being part of the team this year, the bootcamps were so much fun and I learnt a lot from Coach Robb and Joe. I look forward to another great year, learning more and working hard.” – Oliver Bardoe (Youth 250cc)
We can’t wait to get started and see what 2027 has in store for the team and our riders!
