Behind the top three was the two FlexBox HP 40 machines of Augusto Fernandez and Lorenzo Baldassarri in fourth and fifth, with home hero Marcel Schrötter (Dynavolt Intact GP), Jorge Martin (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Fabio Di Giannantonio (MB Conveyors Speed Up) all just two tenths astray from Binder’s time. NTS RW Racing GP’s Bo Bendsneyder clawed himself into the top ten in the latter stages to secure a Q2 place, with Iker Lecuona (American Racing KTM) completing the top ten. Xavi Vierge (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) was the only rider to not improve his Friday time and despite a crash at Turn 3 in FP3, the Spaniard sits 11th and goes straight into the pole position shootout. Nicolo Bulega (SKY Racing Team VR46), Tetsuta Nagashima (ONEXOX TKKR SAG Team) and Andrea Locatelli (Italtrans Racing Team) complete the top 14.

Marquez beats Quartararo to P1, Rossi and Dovizioso in Q1
Unlike what we’re used to seeing, the fast lap times weren’t just being set on a soft rear. A lot of the riders were using the hard-rear Michelin compound, with Michelin Motorsport Two-Wheel Manager Piero Taramasso saying: “The hard rear tyre gives you more stability, the rear is more stable, it gives you more confidence and you can push more. The soft one is also designed for lower temperatures, the hard is designed for higher temperatures, this is the situation for the afternoon.” Riders such as Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar) and Viñales were doing personal best lap times on the hard-rear, Mir went to P5 with less than ten minutes to go, with Viñales going above Marquez’ Friday time on the same tyre.

Show your talent, take your place!
There’s no minimum level of experience required for riders, but a certain skill level must be shown. Previous experience could include dirt-track, motocross, scooter or mini bike racing, but the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup is focused on searching for talent and potential, not experience.

New best lap seals Jones Morgan Park ASBK pole position

Queenslander Mike Jones (DesmoSport Ducati) has clinched pole position at Morgan Park’s fourth round of the 2019 Motul Pirelli Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK).
The 2015 title-winner will lead the Kawasaki Superbike field away on Sunday after a new circuit best lap of 1m12.609s earned him position one in Q2 this afternoon.
Jones was the first rider into the 1m12s early in the session before Cru Halliday (Yamaha Racing Team) jumped to the top with two minutes remaining at 1m12.855s. It was short-lived, however, as Jones countered with a record lap, beating the previous benchmark of 1m12.651s set last year by team co-owner Troy Bayliss.
It was a stellar session for Jones aboard the twin-cylinder Panigale 1299 R FE, lodging a series of laps – five in total – in the 12s and firing a severe warning shot ahead of tomorrow’s 16-lap premier class races.
While Jones and Halliday were the lone riders in the 12s, the front row will be completed by Wayne Maxwell (Team Suzuki Ecstar) after he registered a 1m13.046s, which was enough to keep defending champion and late improver Troy Herfoss (Penrite Honda Racing) at bay.
Completing the top five was series leader Bryan Staring (Kawasaki BCperformance), followed by Daniel Falzon (Yamaha Racing Team), Josh Waters (Team Suzuki Ecstar), standout replacement Aaron Morris (Maxima BMW), Matt Walters (Kawasaki) and Mark Chiodo (Penrite Honda Racing), who transferred through Q1.

Motorsports TV Supersport qualifying saw South Australian Nic Liminton continue his impressive run of form, posting a 1m15.176s to secure the pole position.
Liminton has been remarkable in the mid-stages of the season and edged ahead of rookie Reid Battye (Suzuki) by 0.333s, while championship leader Tom Toparis (Yamaha) will complete the front row in third.
There were no less than seven riders who lapped within the second in qualifying, as Oli Bayliss (Yamaha), Corey Turner (Honda), Callum Spriggs (Yamaha) and Broc Pearson (Yamaha) filled positions four through seven. The top 10 was rounded out by Chris Quinn (Yamaha), Dallas Skeer (Suzuki) and Ty Lynch (Yamaha).
Race one of the YMI Supersport 300 class was won by pole-setter Senna Agius (Kawasaki), comfortably 5.7s clear of John Lytras (Yamaha) in second and Harry Khouri (Yamaha) in third. Two more R3s in Hunter Ford and Max Stauffer were fourth and fifth.
Race one of the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup was a close affair as Jacob Roulstone won by 0.242s from Angus Grenfell, Glenn Nelson, Lucas Quinn, Max Gibbons and Carter Thompson – all six separated by just 0.772s.
An entertaining YMF R3 Cup outing saw Zac Levy (Yamaha) cross the line 0.014s ahead of Lytras, with Ford third. Brandon Demmery was next best in P4 and Khouri fifth, as the top seven riders were each within a second as the chequered flag fell.
The Superbike Masters opener late this afternoon was taken out by local veteran John Allen (Yamaha), over seven seconds ahead of Alexander Pickett (Yamaha), Murray Clarke (Suzuki), Mark McVeigh (Yamaha) and Scott Webster (Suzuki).

Mike Jones takes pole at Morgan Park with lap record
2019 ASBK
Round Four – Morgan Park
Images by TBG and Rob Mott
Wayne Maxwell was quickest on Friday at Morgan Park and was again atop the timesheets after Saturday mornings ‘Timed Practice’ session.
Under a new qualifying format for ASBK this season the Saturday morning session is dubbed ‘Timed Practice’, and it is the times from this session that decided the nine riders that automatically qualify for the Q2 session.
The riders from tenth back in the Timed Practice session had to fight it out in a Q1 session, with the top three in that session then being promoted into Q2, making for a final 12-rider tussle over the first four rows of the grid that which took place this afternoon at Morgan Park.
Some of those riders that had missed the cut for guaranteed promotion through to Q2 included Mark Chiodo and Alex Phillis who just missed the cut. Arthur Sissis, Damon Rees, Lachlan Epis and Brian Houghton were the other riders that made up the six riders to battle it out in Q1 to see which three of them would then get to take part in the Q2 session. With yesterday’s accident ruling Glenn Scott out of proceedings we were down to only 15 Superbike riders.
Mark Chiodo, Alex Phillis and Arthur Sissis were the trio that proved quick enough in Q1 to earn their promotion through to the Q2 session.
The big surprise in the morning practice session had come via the pace of Aaron Morris. Standing in for the injured Glenn Allerton, Morris was third quickest this morning, just behind Cru Halliday and outright pace-setter Wayne Maxwell.
Mike Jones though was the first to dip into the 1m12s this weekend when he smashed out a 1m12.958s lap early in the session.
Daniel Falzon had done few laps in the morning practice session, as he saved his tyre for this Q2 session. The young South Australian’s tactics looked to have paid off as with four-minutes remaining in Q2 he was, provisionally, on the front row.
Cru Halliday though then dropped in a 1m13.13s lap to push Falzon off the front row, and Maxwell back to P3. On the following lap Halliday then went one better on the next lap to put the YRT machine on pole. Mike Jones had just bettered his own time down to 1m12.92 but seconds later Halliday demoted him to P2 after recording a 1m12.855s.
Jones though was not to be out-done, coming straight back at Halliday with a 1m12.609s to set a new Morgan Park Superbike lap record.
Championship leader Troy Herfoss had been nowhere for much of the session but timed his run well in the end to secure P4 on the grid in the dying moments of the session. Bryan Staring and Daniel Falzon complete that second row.
Josh Waters heads row three alongside Aaron Morris and Matt Walters while Mark Chiodo rounds out the top ten.

Supersport Qualifying
Tom Toparis had looked unbeatable this weekend but late in the final qualifying session young South Australian Nic Liminton set fire to that theory after dropping in a 1m15.176 to steal pole positon. Still half-a-second off Cru Halliday’s stunning 1m14.609s lap record from last year, but good enough to top the time-sheets today.
Toparis was second quickest ahead of Reid Battye, Callum Spriggs with Oli Bayliss the only other rider in the 1m15s. Bayliss crashed his #1 bike in the opening session and was forced to qualify on his spare machine.
Corey Turner will round out that second row while Broc Pearson heads row three ahead of Chris Quinn and Dallas Skeer.

Supersport 300 Race One
Senna Agius capitalised on his pole position to lead the field away with John Lytras giving chase. That pair quickly broke away from the field.
Callum O’Brien went down at turn four on the opening lap while Harrison Voight retired to pit-lane early in the race.
Agius eventually broke away from Lytras and by half-race distance the Kawasaki 400 rider had a solid buffer over the Yamaha YZF-R3 competitors that were giving chase. The most formidable of those in this race was Lytras, but even he had no answer for Agius this afternoon, and was left to watch the Kawasaki romp away to a convincing six-second win. Agius and Lytras now on 154-points apiece and equal third in the championship.
Hunter Ford rounded out the podium ahead of Harry Khouri.
Championship leader Max Stauffer came home fifth after winning a battle to the line with Zac Levy and Brandon Demmery.

It was not quite enough for pole though as Allen was bettered in the final moments of qualifying by young Alex Pickett on an FZR1000.

The wily old fox that is John Allen got that TZ750 well and truly wound up on lap two to get the better of Alex Pickett. Allen picked up his pace further on the next circuit with his first 1m19s lap of the weekend, a 1m19.677s.
Pickett had no answer for the speed of Allen and was left to ride a somewhat lonely race to second place while Murray Clark had a similarly solo run on his way to third.

A ‘wide range of factors’ led to shock return home of Ferris
Three-time Australian MX1 champion makes statement on Pro Motocross exit.

An assortmemt of reasons ultimately cut short Dean Ferris’ campaign in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship this year, leading to the unexpected announcement that he has parted ways with Yamaha.
Ferris was scheduled to contest the complete 12-round season in America after giving up a relatively lucrative conract with CDR Yamaha in order to reignite his international career.
Following six rounds, Ferris – who turned 29 on Thursday – currently sits eighth in the championship and directly behind fellow Monster Energy Yamaha Factory Racing rider Justin Barcia. The split has been a neutral one, according to both Ferris and Yamaha.
Team regular Aaron Plessinger returned to action at Southwick last weekend, however it was still understood that Ferris would continue in a third role on the official team. It’s that element that has made this week’s decision one of the more surprising outcomes.
Ferris stopped short of elaborating on his exit from Yamaha in the US, but thanked those involved in his journey and plans to announce his plans in the coming months.
“Due to a wide range of factors and careful consideration, my time here in the USA has come to an end,” Ferris confirmed. “I’d like to start by saying a huge thank you to all of you for the amazing support I have received since declaring my intentions to race the AMA Pro Motocross championship.
“It has been a crazy few months trying to make it all happen! But upon mutual agreement with Monster Energy Yamaha, I finalised my contract after the Southwick national and will not be lining up this weekend at RedBud – I will instead be returning home to Australia.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the team for their support throughout the first half of the season and would like to wish both Aaron Plessinger and Justin Barcia a killer second half. I would also like to thank Fox, Recover8 and everyone else who helped make it all possible!
“I will give everyone another update regarding what’s next for me in the coming couple of weeks when I get home and confirm it all. Thank you again for all your ongoing support.”
Prior to embarking on the challenge of America this year, Ferris had clinched the Australian MX Nationals crown three times in succession between 2016 and 2018 as part of the CDR Yamaha Monster Energy operation. His position locally has since been filled by Luke Clout and Kirk Gibbs.
Ferris has also had an association with the factory-backed Raceline KTM team in 2019, contesting the Murray Bridge MX Nationals double-header aboard a Recover8-supported 450 SX-F and taking victory in Saturday’s fourth round.
