The Edinburgh Stellar Monarchs are delighted to welcome 16 year-old newcomer Jordy Loftus to the team.
The Gold Coast born racer is thrilled to join the Monarchs, Jordy said, “I’m excited to join the club and meet all the people and race for you guys.
“I know of Justin Sedgmen and Kye Thomson and I’ve got to know Kye more personally over the past year or so. We practise at the same track in Ipswich [Australia].
“I’ve been watching his technique going around the track and getting some tips off him. I’ve watched every single video you have put up from Armadale, it looks amazing.”
Having spent his formative years racing in Australia, Jordy has gained much experience at 250cc level before progressing onto 500cc racing upon his 16th birthday.
Jordy continued, “I’m number two in Australia on the 250s, I rode those until I turned 16 in March when I jumped onto a 500 and since then I’ve been getting better and better on it.
“I rode in SGP3 in 2024, and that went well in the semis when I got fifth. In the final In had a little bit of bad luck the way things went but my final placing was thirteenth.”
Jordy holds a British passport and joins the team at reserve starting at the away match at Oxford on 18th June onwards, replacing Mark Parker.
Stellar Monarchs wish to thank Mark Parker for his committed performances while in the team and all look forward to watching his continued development in the Academy team ahead of racing for Monarchs again in future.
To boost his experience, Jordy Loftus will also line up in the Monarchs Academy team in the National Development League starting this Sunday in the team’s away match at Middlesbrough. Jordy steps in for Kyran Lyden, who remains sidelined through injury. All at the club wish Kyran well in his ongoing recovery.
