Professional motorcycle racer Mike Jones is managing to keep his CQUniversity business degree studies on track while competing in countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Germany, Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

"My primary goal is to become a successful motorcycle racer although I firmly believe that it is necessary to have a secondary career plan," he says.

"Completing my degree allows me to enter another field of work once my motorcycle racing career comes to an end and, additionally, the concepts I learn from my studies are also useful for furthering myself as a racer.

"The theory behind some of the subjects I have studied so far has related a lot to my real-world experiences which I've then been able to apply to the assignment for those particular subjects."

Mike says he manages to take his laptop and textbooks on all his overseas trips and WiFi networks are usually available for internet access.

This year is Mike's first full season competing in Europe in the Superstock 600 category. Even though he's only 19, he's won multiple championships and progressively moved through the category ranks.

"I first rode a motorcycle at the age of three which came as an influence from my father. I continued riding throughout my youth and began competing at the age of nine," Mike says.
