Motorcycling Australia (MA) has announced that Peter Doyle will transition from the role of technical officer to sport director, effective immediately.

Doyle, who has previously worked across international race team management, will now move in to the sport director role, which will see his skill and knowledge utilised across the entire MA business.

New MA CEO David Cottee today congratulated Doyle on his appointment, explaining that his movement into the sport director role will be of great benefit to the whole motorcycling community.

“Peter brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organisation, so I’m pleased to be able to formally recognise that with his appointment to sport director,” he said. “Not only does Peter have excellent knowledge of our sport on a domestic level, but his experience internationally is invaluable.

“From events, to day-to-day operations, Peter has been across it at some point throughout his career and has provided significant guidance as MA now moves in a brighter direction. With Peter in this newly-formed role and with his expertise, we are very excited to be able to deliver a much higher level of service to our members going forward.”

Doyle has played an integral role in the restructure of the sport’s Australian governing body since his appointment as technical officer in 2014, working across motorcycling in a variety of disciplines nationally during that period.

It’s also been confirmed that MA and Motorcycling New Zealand are working more closely together after Doyle and ASBK events operations specialist Simon Maas met with MNZ president Glen Williams at the final round of the New Zealand Superbike Championship last weekend.
