Jacob Roulstone

Jacob Roulstone is an Australian professional motorcycle racer who was born in Figtree, New South Wales, on 4 February 2005. He developed through the Australian motorcycle racing system before progressing into international competition and becoming part of the rider development pathway toward the MotoGP World Championship. Roulstone emerged as one of Australia's young riders to progress through the junior categories before earning an opportunity to compete at world championship level. His international career began to attract attention when he competed in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, a competition that serves as an important pathway toward Moto3. The experience gave him the opportunity to adapt to competition against young riders from different countries and to the circuits used throughout the European racing calendar. After progressing through that development stage, Roulstone continued his career in the FIM JuniorGP World Championship. JuniorGP represented an important step in his development because it brought together young riders aiming to progress into the Moto3 and Moto2 World Championships. In 2024, Roulstone received the opportunity to compete full-time in the Moto3 World Championship with Red Bull KTM Tech3. The move represented a major step in his career as he faced a complete Grand Prix calendar for the first time and competed against riders at world championship level. Roulstone continued to develop throughout the campaign and gained valuable experience in the highly competitive Moto3 category, where close racing and small performance differences are common. After his time in Moto3, Roulstone moved into the Moto2 class in 2026 with Idemitsu Honda Team Asia. The move marked a new phase in his career because Moto2 machinery uses Triumph engines and different chassis technology compared with Moto3, requiring riders to adapt to different motorcycle characteristics, braking demands, tyre management and higher racing speeds. During the 2026 season, Roulstone rides a Kalex motorcycle and is part of the Honda Team Asia programme, which also serves as a development environment for Asian and international riders progressing through Grand Prix racing. His 2026 season profile records three race appearances in the available data, with his championship position and points total still limited. Nevertheless, his young age means that his Moto2 campaign remains part of a longer-term development process. With experience in the Rookies Cup, JuniorGP, Moto3 and Moto2, Roulstone's career demonstrates a gradual progression through the Grand Prix development structure. He represents one of Australia's emerging young riders continuing the country's tradition in international motorcycle racing.
