Superbike Race Two

Nobody had an answer for Mike Jones in the opening stanza this weekend (Link), but competitor teams would now have a lot more data to try and fine tune their set-up ahead of this afternoon’s second 16-lap Superbike bout.

Race one had also seen the championship tighten up even further. Cru Halliday had taken the championship lead this morning by a single point, while Mike Jones had moved up to second place. A fall for previous championship leader Bryan Staring late in the opening race was costly, but the Kawasaki man remounted to cross the line in last position. With only 12 finishers that last position still netted him nine championship points to help limit the damage to his title aspirations.

We are away!

The lights went out to start the second and final 16-lap bout at Morgan Park just before 1430 this afternoon and it was race one winner Mike Jones that blasted hardest off the line. The front Pirelli of the big 1299 Ducati pawing the air as he led the field towards turn one.

Daniel Falzon had a brilliant start and was quickly on the back of Jones, but a couple of corners in to the race the Ducati man ran off the circuit! Jones got all out of shape under brakes and had to let the anchors off and run off in order to stay upright.

Troy Herfoss made short work of Daniel Falzon, as did Wayne Maxwell, and it quickly became a battle between these two foes as they started lap two. Maxwell sneaked past Herfoss to take the lead and their tussle then allowed Falzon back into the game. Also joining the party was Cru Halliday and Josh Waters.

Mike Jones had re-joined the race at the back of the pack and put his head down, reeling off fastest laps of the race more than half-a-second quicker than the race leaders. By lap four he had worked his way back up to seventh place and was closing in on Bryan Staring.

Aaron Morris’ encouraging debut with BMW then ended on a sour note, with a NextGen S 1000 RR turned upside down in the in-field. Still, a brilliant weekend for Morris that certainly gave the squad some heart and something to cheer for after a tumultous season thus far that had brought them little reward.

Up front Maxwell and Herfoss had started pulling away from third placed Halliday. The YRT man now had his hands full with not only team-mate Falzon, but also Josh Waters and Bryan Staring.  Mike Jones was still lapping faster than everyone and by half-race distance the Queenslander had joined that party. The win was looking out of Jones’ grasp, but a podium was still a distinct possibility.

The DesmoSport Ducati man dispensed with Falzon as he slotted the 1299 Final Edition up the inside of the YRT machine into turn one with seven laps to run. Next target Waters… He got him in an identical move on the next lap to move up to fifth. Next target Staring… The Kawasaki man was a little bit harder to pass but it was job done two laps later, despite Jones running wide and almost off the circuit once again… Next target Halliday… And there it is, Jones up to third place with two laps to go.

Bryan Staring though was determined to try and put that BCperformance Kawasaki on the podium. Jones was not to be denied though and managed to keep Staring at bay to the chequered flag.

Wayne Maxwell and Troy Herfoss are lucky that Jones made that early mistake, as the pace the local man showed after recovering from that error was strong enough to indicate that he likely would have walked away from that duo to another clear victory. But Jones made a mistake, they didn’t.

That marks Maxwell’s first victory since the championship opener. Herfoss put his nose in front early on the final lap but Maxwell had the corner speed to simply sweep back past and deny the reining champion the victory.

That win also earned Maxwell the round win by a single point over Jones, Herfoss taking third overall.

Those results close the championship chase up even tighter!

Mike Jones the championship leader by a single point over Cru Halliday. Bryan Staring only seven-points further back, with Herfoss another seven-points behind in fourth place.  That win promotes Wayne Maxwell into fifth in the championship by a single point over team-mate Josh Waters. Every single one of those aforementioned riders have Australian Road Race Championships under their belt, and any one of them could still lift the Title this year as things are wide open as we next head to Winton Motor Raceway in September for round five of the Motul/Pirelli Australian Superbike Championships. Bring it on!

Supersport Race Two

Nic Liminton and Reid Battye took their turns battling with Nic Liminton in the first of the Supersport bouts but eventually it was Toparis that got the upper hand before then streaking away to a clear victory. Would any one have an answer for Toparis this afternoon…? Or would the Goulburn teenager’s 48-point championship lead increase further…?

Reid Battye scored the holeshot on the Ecstar Suzuki and led the field through the first turns as Toparis and Liminton gave chase. Toparis getting a much better start this time around and immediately challenging for the lead. It was not until lap three though that Battye relinquished the lead to Toparis. While Toparis was never really threatened from thereon in he never managed to really break away from Battye.

Behind Toparis the battle for second place was hotting up though as Nic Liminton closed on Battye while Callum Spriggs and Oli Bayliss also tried to join that party. Spriggs put in the fastest lap of the race on lap five to close on Nic Liminton and challenge the young South Australian for third place. A couple of laps later Liminton ran in was too deep which gave Reid Battye plenty of breathing space. The Suzuki man though made his own mistake and lost a number of positions, drifting all the way back to sixth place.

Those mistakes from Liminton and Battye had promoted Callum Spriggs up to a clear second place, while Oli Bayliss was in a relatively lonely third place. The top three now were really strung out while Broc Pearson was doing his best to try and close down Oli Bayliss in order to steal the final step on the podium.

Pearson sneaked past Bayliss early on the final lap, but Bayliss got back around him and put his head down on the final lap to make that podium his.

Callum Spriggs a strong second place in another of his rare appearance these days in the competition.

Tom Toparis leaves Queensland with a 61-point lead in the Australian Supersport Championship. It must be said that Toparis did it relatively easily, while his main rivals made their mistakes trying to match his pace.

Supersport 300 Race Three

Senna Agius once again quickly established himself as the man to beat. Agius on the new 400 Kawasaki immediately streaked away from the chasing Yamaha YZF-R3 horde. Agius built a massive 2.5-second lead on the opening lap and the field never managed to reel any of that gap back in over the remainder of the race.

The battle for second place though was insane! Harry Khouri, Zac Levy, Harrison Voight, Max Stauffer, Hunter Ford, Seth Crump, Yannis Shaw and Brandon Demmery all swapping and changing at almost every turn in what was a titanic battle over the remaining steps on the rostrum. Winning that battle for second place was Championship leader Max Stauffer from Harrison Voight with Harry Khouri missing out on a podium by a gnat’s whisker.

Max Stauffer remains in the lead of the Supersport 300 Championship but Agius has trimmed his buffer down to 28-points after what has been a dominant weekend for the 14-year-old.  Full championship standings can be found further down the page.

Superbike Masters Race Two

Alex Pickett blasted the big FZR1000 off the line ahead of Saturday race victor John Allen on the TZ750 two-stroke Yamaha.

Pickett kept that lead until three laps from the end when the big four-stroke Yamaha went into a monumental tank-slapper coming on to the main straight that almost launched him into orbit but somehow young Alex managed to hang on to it. Must have reminded him of his Isle of Man exploits! It broke the bolt-in lock-stops off the FZR1000!

That moment allowed John Allen through to the lead before going on to take the win by 1.5-seconds.

Kawasaki Superbike Race One

Mike Jones had earned pole position for today’s fourth round of the Motul/Pirelli sponsored Australian Superbike Championship at Morgan Park. A 1m12.609s on the big 1299 Ducati V-Twin also a new lap record for the 25-year-old Queenslander on Saturday afternoon in front of a strong local crowd.

Cru Halliday has been consistently fast across all sessions thus far this weekend as the YRT man again states his threat as a potential challenger for the ASBK Title this season.

Wayne Maxwell is always Mr Consistency. Even when his star does not shine as the brightest, it still always manages to be looming large, nobody every discounts his strength as a potential challenger.

Troy Herfoss has not looked as confident here this weekend. The Penrite Honda squad made their competitors almost look silly here last year, but it has not been smooth sailing for them here this time around. Herfoss’ main gripes have been about the lack of suppleness from the suspension over the bumps. He still managed to clock a 1m13.127s to qualify fourth, but while most of his competitors had put in lots of fast laps so far this weekend, Herf’ has only managed a handful of laps at anything like a speed that would threaten for a win today.

Next on the grid is Bryan Staring. You can’t mention the Western Australian this season without the subject turning to tyres as the BCperformance Kawasaki man is the only prime combatant on Dunlop rubber. That was the difference that allowed him to walk away from the rest of the field last time out at The Bend. He also walked away from that South Australian circuit as the new championship leader, by a single point over Halliday.

Daniel Falzon seemed fairly happy to keep his powder dry yesterday as he concentrated on saving his tyres for today. Tyre longevity is always the prime decider between hero and zero in the Australian Superbike class and it seems as though Falzon is playing the long game this weekend. Arm pump though a concern for the South Australian at this bumpy and physical three-kilometre lay-out.

Last year Josh Waters struggled here before staging a magnificent come back to form in the second race. He has not figured highly during practice and qualifying, but you know the Ecstar Suzuki crew would have been working hard overnight on a set-up that will give the marauder from Mildura a good chance here today.

In the middle of the third row is Aaron Morris. The 26-year-old is standing in for the injured Glenn Allerton on the NextGen BMW this weekend and has thus far put in a stand-out performance. He is a genuine podium threat today if the team have provided him with a set-up that looks after his rear Pirelli.

Qualifying ninth was Matt Walters while Mark Chiodo rounded out the top ten.

We are away!

Mike Jones launched the big Ducati off the line ahead of Troy Herfoss and Cru Halliday as Bryan Staring tussled with Daniel Falzon. A poor start to the race for Wayne Maxwell had the Ecstar Suzuki man languishing in seventh position with plenty of work to do.

Troy Herfoss took the lead from Mike Jones late on lap one but the Ducati man got him straight back. Herfoss looks like a different man here today than we witnessed on Friday and Saturday, but the Penrite Honda had no answer for that 1.3-litres of Ducati underneath Mike Jones as he walked back past the reigning champion as soon as there was a clear piece of tarmac in front of them.

YRT team-mates Daniel Falzon and Cru Halliday were tussling over third position before the South Aussie went down on lap three after a soft front-end lose saw him slide across the dirt. Mark Chiodo also went down.

Falzon’s demise promoted Bryan Staring up to fourth position but not for long, the Kawasaki man was then pushed again back to fifth as Maxwell started his march forward. Josh Waters was in the mix also and certainly still within podium contention at this stage of the race.

Herfoss was trying to make up for his horsepower deficit by going in deep and hard under brakes, but that was sometimes proving costly on exit and allowing Jones to eke out yet more ground. That front-end approach also of course bringing more risk with it, and with a championship on the line it was going to be interesting to see just how hard Herfoss was going to push his luck in order to try and stick with Jones and challenge for the win.

As this opening bout approached half-race distance Wayne Maxwell pushed his way past Troy Herfoss and to add further insult Cru Halliday then relegated the defending champ to fourth. Bryan Staring was all over the back of Herfoss and looking to push Herfoss back yet another position.

Up front Mike Jones was clocking low-mid 1m13s lap after lap but it was starting to look as though that might not be enough as Wayne Maxwell got the GSX-R1000 wound up and started closing a little on the Ducati. Coming with him was Cru Halliday but there was still only a little over two-seconds covering the entire top five with six laps to run.

Bryan Staring then got through on Herfoss. Would the Dunlop runner show a late race advantage once again and catch his rivals in the closing stages..? We know he has the fitness to last the distance…

It became apparent though as the race wore on that nobody had an answer for Mike Jones. The Ducati man had the package beneath him and the fitness to run the pace right to the flag. It was up to the rest to fight over the remaining steps on the rostrum.

Bryan Staring was looming large right on the tail of Halliday and Maxwell but then went down at AGV Corner after losing the front. That promoted Troy Herfoss up in to fourth position, but the Honda man was not in a position to challenge for a podium, he was now five-seconds off that battle.

The battle on track for second place though was still well and truly alive as Halliday nipped at the heels of Maxwell over the final couple of laps. Halliday had a look up the inside to try and take Maxwell but had to pull out of it and look for another opportunity. He couldn’t do it though and thought it safer to settle for yet another podium rather than risk a no-score, thus Maxwell took second place by a length from Halliday.

The race winner, a dominant victor, Mike Jones.

The new championship leader is Cru Halliday, albeit by a single point over Jones. Full championship standings can be found further down the page.

Troy Herfoss looked strong early on but then went out of the game in the latter half of the race before finishing fourth. Herfoss won’t be happy with that lack of competitiveness, as if not for the falls of others he would likely have been seventh in this bout. Still, he will be somewhat comforted by still bagging decent points as he keeps his championship defence alive.

Josh Waters nearly managed to close the Honda man down on the final lap but took fifth place. Waters had a clear ten-second buffer over Aaron Morris and Alex Phillis.

Australian Supersport Race One

Nic Liminton got a great jump from pole position to lead Reid Battye and Tom Toparis as they negotiated the first complex of turns.  Liminton was keen to make a break and had his head down as Battye and Toparis gave chase.

Callum Spriggs started to challenge Toparis for third position on lap two as Corey Turner, Oli Bayliss and Broc Pearson tried to keep that leading quartet in sight.

Reid Battye seemed to be gathering strength as the race wore on, his Suzuki looking to ride the bumps around the back of the circuit much smoother than Liminton’s machine.

Nic Liminton out of the seat early on lap three which allowed Battye to sneak through and Toparis followed him to demote Liminton back to third place.  Oli Bayliss also got Liminton a short time later as the youngster moved up to fourth.

On the next lap Corey Turner pushed Liminton back to fourth place as Battye and Toparis looked to be making a small break over their pursuers.

Toparis took the race lead as the race broached the halfway point. Tom looked to be able to take different cornering lines as he wished, without any real cost in speed, while Battye had the Ecstar Suzuki GSX-R600 was always on the seemingly perfect line in order to be competitive. Battye was hanging on to Toparis but it seemed like only a matter of time before Toparis would start to walk away on the new YZF-R6, if he made any mistakes though Battye would be right there and ready to pounce.

The battle for the final step on the rostrum was still hectic with Corey Turner, Oli Bayliss, Nic Liminton, Callum Spriggs and Broc Pearson all waging war.

Oli Bayliss got to the head of that battle of third place but then went wide, Corey Turner also followed him wide and did not manage to avoid the recovering Bayliss which sent the youngster off into the dirt. Oli showed some impressive dirt skills to rejoin the circuit without head-butting a tyre wall and rejoined the race in 11th place.

At the front Toparis had pulled away from Battye to the tune of 2.5-seconds with three laps to run. Disaster then struck the Suzuki man as he went down and out of the race, a terrible blow after an impressive ride from the Suzuki man.

The battle for third had now become a battle for second, and that war was still on in earnest, albeit a massive seven-seconds behind the race leader. Nic Liminton was leading that group but then some sort of problem struck the South Australian and he lost a few positions. That made the battle for second place now down to two, Broc Pearson and Callum Spriggs now the prime combatants.

Tom Toparis cruised to the chequered flag while Callum Spriggs managed to fend off the advances of Broc Pearson on the final lap to secure second position in what was an all Yamaha podium.

Corey Turner brought the 52Motorsports Honda home in fourth position ahead of Liminton and Chris Quinn.

Oli Bayliss did well to recover from his off-track excursion and work his way back up to seventh place by the flag ahead of Dallas Skeer and Avalon Biddle while Ty Lynch rounded out the top ten.

YMI Supersport 300 Race Two

Senna Agius managed to break away from the pursuing horde in the second Supersport 300 race of the weekend which left Hunter Ford, Zac Levy, Max Stauffer, John Lytras and Brandom Demmery to fight over the podium scraps.

As the race wore on that battle for second place amongst the Yamaha YZF-R3 had come down to a two-rider affair, Hunter Ford and Zac Levy the protagonists. Zac Levy and Hunter Ford crossed the line side-by-side and it came down to the electronic timing transponders to separate them by two-thousandths of a second!

Out front though Senna Agius was not going to be challenged on the new Ninja 400 Kawasaki and even had enough of an advantage to just button off in the closing laps. Thus the winning margin of 1.374-second not representative of the actual speed difference between Agius and his pursuers.

YMF R3 Cup Race Two

It was another crazy, exciting R3 Cup bout that kicked off the Sunday proceedings at Morgan Park this morning for round four of the 2019 Australian Superbike Championship.

John Lytras, that name always there, was going at it hammer-and-tong with Max Stauffer, Zac Levy, Harrison Voight, Hunter Ford, Brandon Demmery and Harry Khouri. That is not a turn one lap one description of the leading pack, but that group of eight riders were still tightly bunched as the race past the half-way point of its eight-lap distance.

The pack chopped, changed and cut each other over the final laps but at the chequered flag it was that young man John Lytras with his nose in front as Zav Levy and Harry Khouri completed the podium just ahead of Hunter Ford, with less than two-tenths of a second covering that top four at the stripe.
