Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) smashed the lap record at Donington Park to claim the 15th pole position of his career. The Turkish star finished the session with an advantage of over half a second from Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati)

Bulega continued his run of five consecutive front row starts while a track limit infringement cost his teammate, Alvaro Bautista. The reigning World Champion’s time was deleted and a potential second row start became 11th on the grid

Track limits and yellow flag infringements also cost Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) and Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) leading grid positions while Scott Redding (Bonovo Action BMW) set the third fastest time

Race 1 highlights: Starting from pole position Razgatlioglu led from the start and claimed his fifth consecutive WorldSBK victory. The victory margin of 11.384s was is the largest of Razgatlioglu’s career

From the third row of the grid Alex Lowes was able to finish second after a combative ride. At two-thirds race distance the Kawasaki rider passed Bulega and then proceeded to open a comfortable margin in the closing laps. It is the fifth podium of the season for Lowes

From the front row of the race Redding was able to stay in podium contention throughout the first half of the race. The BMW rider though suffered a technical problem in the closing stages but will still be able to avail of his leading grid position for tomorrow’s Tissot Superpole Race

Bautista’s podium leaves him level on points with his teammate Bulega in the championship standings. The Spaniard was the only leading rider to use the softer SCX tyre and he used it well to come through from 11th on the grid to finish third. He overtook Bulega for the final step on the podium with four laps remaining

Petrucci ended the race as the leading Independent rider in seventh position after battling with the Pata Prometeon Yamaha teammate’s Jonathan Rea and Andrea Locatelli throughout the 23 lap race

P1| Toprak Razgatlioglu | ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team

“This is an amazing feeling because Donington is my favourite track. This was a strong win with a big gap to the other riders. I’m fast this weekend and I take advantage of this because the Championship is important for me. We started the weekend very strong and when I did a race simulation yesterday my pace was amazing. It gave me confidence to know we are strong. I wasn’t pushing in the corners, I was just riding and I focused and I was patient and finished the race. It was a really good job by my team because every session we improved the bike and now the feeling with the bike is perfect. We have two more races tomorrow and I’ll try my best again.”

P2 | Alex Lowes | Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK

“I’m really happy. After losing my lap in the Superpole I thought I might have made it a little bit more difficult for myself. It’s so competitive in World Superbike now and if you give the other guys a little bit it can be really hard to come back. There’s 15 guys who can be on the podium now but I really enjoyed this race. I felt my pace was strong and at the end of the race I was struggling a little bit with the front but I’m not going to complain about second place. Toprak was in his own race. It’s fantastic to be back on the podium. We’ve two more chances tomorrow but it’s a shame to be starting from 9th in the Superpole Race.”

P3 | Alvaro Bautista | Aruba.it Racing – Ducati

“It wasn’t easy because it’s always difficult to start from the back. There aren’t many places to overtake at Donington so I gambled and used the soft tyre on the rear. The track temperature was higher than all the weekend so I tried the SCX. During practice I did 10 laps with that tyre and I didn’t know what would happen using it. I’m happy because this was the maximum we could do in this race. The feeling with the bike isn’t the best right now but we have to improve because I can’t ride the bike as I want. I can’t push but we’ll try to do better tomorrow.”

Carrasco celebrates her first WorldWCR win of the season

Race 1 Highlights:

Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) stormed to victory in Race 1 at Donington Park, crossing the line half a second ahead of her closest rival after a four-way battle for victory

The weekend’s first WorldWCR race at Donington Park saw polesitter Carrasco battle it out against fellow Spaniards Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Factory Team), Sara Sanchez (511 Terra&Vita Racing Team) and Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha)

Less than a second separated the Spanish foursome as they fought tooth and nail for the podium positions, with Neila and Sanchez ultimately joining Carrasco on the rostrum, a fraction of a second ahead of current championship leader Herrera

Over the twelve-lap race, the four frontrunners set a blistering pace, with Neila setting the fastest time, a 1’39.593, on lap eleven. Beatriz will therefore start from pole for Sunday’s Race 2

Lap 5 brought an innocuous crash for Emily Bondi (YART Zelos Black Knights Team); the French rider was able to rejoin the race and complete it, albeit at the back of the field. British entry Alyssia Whitmore (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) also suffered a crash and has been passed unfit to continue, having sustained a left wrist contusion in the incident

A last lap crash for American Mallory Dobbs (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) through turn 12 saw fellow rider Lucy Michel (TSL-Racing) receive a 3-second penalty for irresponsible riding

Championship Standings:

Herrera continues to lead the way in the WorldWCR general standings with a tally of 63 points

Carrasco and Sanchez remain hot on Herrera’s heels, with 61 and 52 points respectively

Key Points:

Pole position: Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) – 1’40.581

Race 1 winner: Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team)

Race fastest lap: Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha) – 1’39.593More on worldsbk.com

P1 | Ana Carrasco | Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team

“It was tough because I didn’t expect the leading group to be so big; some of the riders took quite a big step between yesterday and today. But I was confident as the race got going. The slipstream was important, especially today with the wind along the back straight, but I tried to remain calm and maintain strong pace. On the final lap I decided to go for it to avoid being involved in any difficult situation through the last turns. My strategy paid off, and I was perhaps expecting them to try to pass through the final corners, but it feels a long time since I won my last race so I’m really happy with the result. And I’ll do my best to do it again tomorrow, but it will be more difficult because everyone is improving with every session. We also have to see if the weather remains dry. We’ll keep working to take another step anyway and see what we can do.”

P2 | Beatriz Neila | Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha

“The race went really well; we were all strong from start to finish and I was able to set the fastest lap time right at the end, on lap eleven. Before the race, I didn’t think I’d be able to fight like that to be honest because this morning I’d had a few issues with the rear. But we made a change to the bike and that really worked. I’m so pleased with my first podium and want to thank the whole team for all their help and support. Tomorrow, I expect a similar race and will be doing all I can to score another top three result.”

P3 | Sara Sanchez | 511 Terra&Vita Racing Team

“It was tough at first and I thought that the others perhaps had a little more than us, but in the end, we were able to fight at the front. I spent most of the race in third and then Neila came past me, and I realised I was fourth with Ponziani not far behind. I didn’t want to miss out on the podium so I reacted on the last lap and got up to second before Neila got back in front and I ultimately crossed the line third. It was a great race anyway, and I’m happy with the result, the important thing is that we’ve scored solid points. I think Race 2 will play out in the same way, with a group of four or five of us battling for the top three; I’m looking forward to getting back out there again tomorrow.”

WorldSBK: Razgatlioglu Crushes Record In Superpole Qualifying At Donington

Toprak Razgatlioglu crushed the lap record and the competition during World Superbike Superpole qualifying Saturday at Donington Park, in England. Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR on Pirelli control tires, the Turkish star turned a lap time of 1:24.629 around the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) circuit. Not only was that good enough to top the 23-rider field and the next-fastest rider by more than 0.5 second, it blew away the All-Time Lap Record of 1:25.823 that Remy Gardner set earlier in the day during Free Practice Three (FP3) by 1.2 seconds!

Rookie sensation Nicolo Bulega was the best of the rest with a 1:25.202 on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R, and Scott Redding thrilled the English fans by claiming the third and final spot on the front row with a time of 1:25.406 on his Bonovo Action BMW.

Sam Lowes was fourth with a 1:25.492 in spite of crashing his Elf Marc VDS Racing Ducati during the session. Dominique Aegerter qualified fifth with a 1:25.528 on his GYTR GRT Yamaha YZF-R1. And Razgatlioglu’s teammate Michael van der Mark earned the sixth spot on the grid with a 1:25.621.

American Garrett Gerloff, Redding’s teammate, qualified 12th with a lap time of 1:25.845 – just 0.6 second from P2.

Pearson sizzles to Morgan Park pole position

Ducati rider Broc Pearson has claimed the Saturday spoils in round four of the 2024 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) at Morgan Park Raceway in Queensland.

On a brisk day at the 2.96km circuit where ambient and track temperatures remained very low, the 23-year-old secured his second career pole position in the Alpinestars Superbike class after the final qualifying session was cut short following two red-flag stoppages.

That wasn’t to the detriment of the Gold Coast-based realtor though, who had already laid down the fastest marker which will position him at the pointy end of the grid for tomorrow’s two 16-lap races.

It was also qualifying in the other four ASBK Championship classes today – Michelin Supersport, Race and Road Supersport 300, ShopYamaha R3 Cup and the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup – and all but Supersport kicked off their race programs.

That sets the scene for Sunday: 10 races at a circuit where exceptionally close racing is a staple. Off-track activities on Sunday will include pit walks, ‘Mini Moto come and try’ sessions for the kids, the ASBK Trade Alley and autograph sessions with riders and ASBK ambassadors Garry McCoy, Chris Vermeulen and Steve Martin.

There’s also a big screen in the heart of the ASBK Fan Zone at turn three displaying all the on-track action, with a bevy of food trucks in the vicinity.

Alpinestars Superbike

Pearson stopped the clock at 1m12.830sec on his Panigale V4 R, with Max Stauffer (Penrite Racing Yamaha) and Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team) to start alongside him.

The two red-flag stoppages in qualifying came after near identical crashes for Stauffer and Glenn Allerton (GT Racing BMW) at turn three – both riders okay – but the former was fortunate that he had already locked in a sharp time.
    
Meanwhile, Allerton qualified sixth behind championship leader Josh Waters (McMartin Racing Ducati) in fourth and Cru Halliday (Yamaha Racing Team) in fifth.

Arthur Sissis (Stop and Seal Yamaha), Anthony West (Addicted to Track Yamaha), Bryan Staring (MotoGP Yamaha) and Cameron Dunker (Penrite Racing Yamaha) rounded out the top 10 qualifiers in the 18-rider field.

Race one is at 11:25am tomorrow.

Michelin Supersport

Jonathan Nahlous has secured his second Michelin Supersport pole position of the season – and he’ll be hoping it’s a portent of things to come after converting his first one at Phillip Island into a clean sweep!

Nahlous, the current championship leader, will have fellow Yamaha riders Tom Toparis and Tom Bramich alongside him for tomorrow’s two 14-lap races.

Nahlous only pipped Toparis by 0.003 seconds, while it’s extremely tight between Bramich, Hayden Nelson (Kawasaki), Jack Favelle (Yamaha), Archie McDonald (Yamaha) and Olly Simpson (Yamaha).

All sixteen riders qualified for the two 14-lap races.

Race and Road Supersport 300

Valentino Knezovic (Yamaha) has been in the Race and Road Supersport 300 hot zone since he arrived at Morgan Park, and it showed in race one as he bolted from pole position and cruised to a four-second victory – his third of the season after previous successes at Sydney Motorsport Park and Queensland Raceway.

While the imperious Knezovic made the 10-lapper his own, the battle for second was a five-way doozy and eventually fell the way of Casey Middelton (Yamaha) ahead of Josh Newman (Kawasaki), Will Nassif (Yamaha), Harrison Watts (Kawasaki) and Jordan Simpson (Yamaha).

New Zealander Jesse Stroud (Yamaha) was in the early mix as well before crashing at turn six – the same piece of tarmac that also claimed Georgia Stephens (Yamaha) a few laps later. They were the only two DNFs in the 17-rider field.

The championship battle has now tightened appreciably, with Newman 6pts (189 to 183) in front of Watts, followed by the charging Knezovic (182).

Races two and three will be held tomorrow.

ShopYamaha R3 Cup

What a breathtaking way to start the new ShopYamaha R3 Cup season, with Valentino Knezovic outlasting Jesse Stroud by a miniscule 0.032 seconds after a race full of punching and counter-punching.

They were glued together the whole way as Knezovic continued his rich vein of form and Stroud hit back hard after a crash in the earlier Supersport 300 opener.

The battle for third was also eye-catching, with Will Nassif securing the last spot on the podium from Jordan Simpson, John Pelgrave and Ryder Gilbert.

bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup

Hunter Corney’s spectacular bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup season has continued, with the 13-year-old Toowoomba rider winning his sixth race of the season in front of Ethan Johnson, Elijah Andrew, Nicolas Lazos, William Strugnell and Jed Louis.

The race was red-flagged early after an incident involving front runners Hunter Charlett and Ross McAdam, after what been another breathtaking battle between the Yamaha YZF-R15 brigade.

Corney’s lead has now ballooned to 43pts over Johnson, who takes over second from McAdam.

There are two more races tomorrow.

West’s teammate Jake Lewis (1:29.777) will start from second on the grid, and defending Champion Tyler O’Hara (1:29.934) and his S&S Indian FTR will line up in the third and final spot on the front row.

Row-two starters include KWR Harley-Davidson teammates Cody Wyman (1:29.983) and Hayden Schultz (1:30.020) and O’Hara’s teammate, reigning Australian Superbike Champion Troy Herfoss (1:30.230).

Lining up on row three will be Cody Wyman’s older brother Travis Wyman (1:30.493) on the third Team Saddlemen Harley-Davidson Pan America, Stefano Mesa (1:31.427) on the Tytlers Cycle Racing Energica Eva Ribelle RS electric machine, and Roland Sands Design/Trackhouse Racing Indian’s Hawk Mazzotta, who improved from 1:33.949 to 1:33.267 in the inferior track conditions of Q2.

Toprak Razgatlioglu (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) smashed the lap record at Donington Park to claim the 15th pole position of his career. The Turkish star finished the session with an advantage of over half a second from Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati)

Bulega continued his run of five consecutive front row starts while a track limit infringement cost his teammate, Alvaro Bautista. The reigning World Champion’s time was deleted and a potential second row start became 11th on the grid

Track limits and yellow flag infringements also cost Alex Lowes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) and Danilo Petrucci (Barni Spark Racing Team) leading grid positions while Scott Redding (Bonovo Action BMW) set the third fastest time

Redding’s front row start was his first since Magny Cours in 2022

Race 1 highlights: Starting from pole position Razgatlioglu led from the start and claimed his fifth consecutive WorldSBK victory. The victory margin of 11.384s was is the largest of Razgatlioglu’s career

From the third row of the grid Alex Lowes was able to finish second after a combative ride. At two-thirds race distance the Kawasaki rider passed Bulega and then proceeded to open a comfortable margin in the closing laps. It is the fifth podium of the season for Lowes

From the front row of the race Redding was able to stay in podium contention throughout the first half of the race. The BMW rider though suffered a technical problem in the closing stages but will still be able to avail of his leading grid position for tomorrow’s Tissot Superpole Race

Bautista’s podium leaves him level on points with his teammate Bulega in the championship standings. The Spaniard was the only leading rider to use the softer SCX tyre and he used it well to come through from 11th on the grid to finish third. He overtook Bulega for the final step on the podium with four laps remaining

Petrucci ended the race as the leading Independent rider in seventh position after battling with the Pata Prometeon Yamaha teammate’s Jonathan Rea and Andrea Locatelli throughout the 23 lap race

Championship Standings: Razgatlioglu now holds a 33 point advantage over Bulega and Bautista who are now tied on 171 points

P1| Toprak Razgatlioglu | ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team

“This is an amazing feeling because Donington is my favourite track. This was a strong win with a big gap to the other riders. I’m fast this weekend and I take advantage of this because the Championship is important for me. We started the weekend very strong and when I did a race simulation yesterday my pace was amazing. It gave me confidence to know we are strong. I wasn’t pushing in the corners, I was just riding and I focused and I was patient and finished the race. It was a really good job by my team because every session we improved the bike and now the feeling with the bike is perfect. We have two more races tomorrow and I’ll try my best again.”

P2 | Alex Lowes | Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK

“I’m really happy. After losing my lap in the Superpole I thought I might have made it a little bit more difficult for myself. It’s so competitive in World Superbike now and if you give the other guys a little bit it can be really hard to come back. There’s 15 guys who can be on the podium now but I really enjoyed this race. I felt my pace was strong and at the end of the race I was struggling a little bit with the front but I’m not going to complain about second place. Toprak was in his own race. It’s fantastic to be back on the podium. We’ve two more chances tomorrow but it’s a shame to be starting from 9th in the Superpole Race.”

P3 | Alvaro Bautista | Aruba.it Racing – Ducati

“It wasn’t easy because it’s always difficult to start from the back. There aren’t many places to overtake at Donington so I gambled and used the soft tyre on the rear. The track temperature was higher than all the weekend so I tried the SCX. During practice I did 10 laps with that tyre and I didn’t know what would happen using it. I’m happy because this was the maximum we could do in this race. The feeling with the bike isn’t the best right now but we have to improve because I can’t ride the bike as I want. I can’t push but we’ll try to do better tomorrow.”

Carrasco celebrates her first WorldWCR win of the season

Race 1 Highlights:

Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) stormed to victory in Race 1 at Donington Park, crossing the line half a second ahead of her closest rival after a four-way battle for victory

The weekend’s first WorldWCR race at Donington Park saw polesitter Carrasco battle it out against fellow Spaniards Maria Herrera (Klint Forward Factory Team), Sara Sanchez (511 Terra&Vita Racing Team) and Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha)

Less than a second separated the Spanish foursome as they fought tooth and nail for the podium positions, with Neila and Sanchez ultimately joining Carrasco on the rostrum, a fraction of a second ahead of current championship leader Herrera

Over the twelve-lap race, the four frontrunners set a blistering pace, with Neila setting the fastest time, a 1’39.593, on lap eleven. Beatriz will therefore start from pole for Sunday’s Race 2

Lap 5 brought an innocuous crash for Emily Bondi (YART Zelos Black Knights Team); the French rider was able to rejoin the race and complete it, albeit at the back of the field. British entry Alyssia Whitmore (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) also suffered a crash and has been passed unfit to continue, having sustained a left wrist contusion in the incident

A last lap crash for American Mallory Dobbs (Sekhmet Motorcycle Racing Team) through turn 12 saw fellow rider Lucy Michel (TSL-Racing) receive a 3-second penalty for irresponsible riding

Championship Standings:

Herrera continues to lead the way in the WorldWCR general standings with a tally of 63 points

Carrasco and Sanchez remain hot on Herrera’s heels, with 61 and 52 points respectively

Key Points:

Pole position: Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team) – 1’40.581

Race 1 winner: Ana Carrasco (Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team)

Race fastest lap: Beatriz Neila (Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha) – 1’39.593More on worldsbk.com

P1 | Ana Carrasco | Evan Bros Racing Yamaha Team

“It was tough because I didn’t expect the leading group to be so big; some of the riders took quite a big step between yesterday and today. But I was confident as the race got going. The slipstream was important, especially today with the wind along the back straight, but I tried to remain calm and maintain strong pace. On the final lap I decided to go for it to avoid being involved in any difficult situation through the last turns. My strategy paid off, and I was perhaps expecting them to try to pass through the final corners, but it feels a long time since I won my last race so I’m really happy with the result. And I’ll do my best to do it again tomorrow, but it will be more difficult because everyone is improving with every session. We also have to see if the weather remains dry. We’ll keep working to take another step anyway and see what we can do.”

P2 | Beatriz Neila | Ampito / Pata Prometeon Yamaha

“The race went really well; we were all strong from start to finish and I was able to set the fastest lap time right at the end, on lap eleven. Before the race, I didn’t think I’d be able to fight like that to be honest because this morning I’d had a few issues with the rear. But we made a change to the bike and that really worked. I’m so pleased with my first podium and want to thank the whole team for all their help and support. Tomorrow, I expect a similar race and will be doing all I can to score another top three result.”

P3 | Sara Sanchez | 511 Terra&Vita Racing Team

“It was tough at first and I thought that the others perhaps had a little more than us, but in the end, we were able to fight at the front. I spent most of the race in third and then Neila came past me, and I realised I was fourth with Ponziani not far behind. I didn’t want to miss out on the podium so I reacted on the last lap and got up to second before Neila got back in front and I ultimately crossed the line third. It was a great race anyway, and I’m happy with the result, the important thing is that we’ve scored solid points. I think Race 2 will play out in the same way, with a group of four or five of us battling for the top three; I’m looking forward to getting back out there again tomorrow.”

WorldSBK: Razgatlioglu Crushes Record In Superpole Qualifying At Donington

Toprak Razgatlioglu crushed the lap record and the competition during World Superbike Superpole qualifying Saturday at Donington Park, in England. Riding his ROKiT BMW Motorrad M 1000 RR on Pirelli control tires, the Turkish star turned a lap time of 1:24.629 around the 2.5-mile (4.0 km) circuit. Not only was that good enough to top the 23-rider field and the next-fastest rider by more than 0.5 second, it blew away the All-Time Lap Record of 1:25.823 that Remy Gardner set earlier in the day during Free Practice Three (FP3) by 1.2 seconds!

Rookie sensation Nicolo Bulega was the best of the rest with a 1:25.202 on his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4 R, and Scott Redding thrilled the English fans by claiming the third and final spot on the front row with a time of 1:25.406 on his Bonovo Action BMW.

Sam Lowes was fourth with a 1:25.492 in spite of crashing his Elf Marc VDS Racing Ducati during the session. Dominique Aegerter qualified fifth with a 1:25.528 on his GYTR GRT Yamaha YZF-R1. And Razgatlioglu’s teammate Michael van der Mark earned the sixth spot on the grid with a 1:25.621.

American Garrett Gerloff, Redding’s teammate, qualified 12th with a lap time of 1:25.845 – just 0.6 second from P2.

Pearson sizzles to Morgan Park pole position

Ducati rider Broc Pearson has claimed the Saturday spoils in round four of the 2024 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) at Morgan Park Raceway in Queensland.

On a brisk day at the 2.96km circuit where ambient and track temperatures remained very low, the 23-year-old secured his second career pole position in the Alpinestars Superbike class after the final qualifying session was cut short following two red-flag stoppages.

That wasn’t to the detriment of the Gold Coast-based realtor though, who had already laid down the fastest marker which will position him at the pointy end of the grid for tomorrow’s two 16-lap races.

It was also qualifying in the other four ASBK Championship classes today – Michelin Supersport, Race and Road Supersport 300, ShopYamaha R3 Cup and the bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup – and all but Supersport kicked off their race programs.

That sets the scene for Sunday: 10 races at a circuit where exceptionally close racing is a staple. Off-track activities on Sunday will include pit walks, ‘Mini Moto come and try’ sessions for the kids, the ASBK Trade Alley and autograph sessions with riders and ASBK ambassadors Garry McCoy, Chris Vermeulen and Steve Martin.

There’s also a big screen in the heart of the ASBK Fan Zone at turn three displaying all the on-track action, with a bevy of food trucks in the vicinity.

Alpinestars Superbike

Pearson stopped the clock at 1m12.830sec on his Panigale V4 R, with Max Stauffer (Penrite Racing Yamaha) and Mike Jones (Yamaha Racing Team) to start alongside him.

The two red-flag stoppages in qualifying came after near identical crashes for Stauffer and Glenn Allerton (GT Racing BMW) at turn three – both riders okay – but the former was fortunate that he had already locked in a sharp time.
    
Meanwhile, Allerton qualified sixth behind championship leader Josh Waters (McMartin Racing Ducati) in fourth and Cru Halliday (Yamaha Racing Team) in fifth.

Arthur Sissis (Stop and Seal Yamaha), Anthony West (Addicted to Track Yamaha), Bryan Staring (MotoGP Yamaha) and Cameron Dunker (Penrite Racing Yamaha) rounded out the top 10 qualifiers in the 18-rider field.

Race one is at 11:25am tomorrow.

Michelin Supersport

Jonathan Nahlous has secured his second Michelin Supersport pole position of the season – and he’ll be hoping it’s a portent of things to come after converting his first one at Phillip Island into a clean sweep!

Nahlous, the current championship leader, will have fellow Yamaha riders Tom Toparis and Tom Bramich alongside him for tomorrow’s two 14-lap races.

Nahlous only pipped Toparis by 0.003 seconds, while it’s extremely tight between Bramich, Hayden Nelson (Kawasaki), Jack Favelle (Yamaha), Archie McDonald (Yamaha) and Olly Simpson (Yamaha).

All sixteen riders qualified for the two 14-lap races.

Race and Road Supersport 300

Valentino Knezovic (Yamaha) has been in the Race and Road Supersport 300 hot zone since he arrived at Morgan Park, and it showed in race one as he bolted from pole position and cruised to a four-second victory – his third of the season after previous successes at Sydney Motorsport Park and Queensland Raceway.

While the imperious Knezovic made the 10-lapper his own, the battle for second was a five-way doozy and eventually fell the way of Casey Middelton (Yamaha) ahead of Josh Newman (Kawasaki), Will Nassif (Yamaha), Harrison Watts (Kawasaki) and Jordan Simpson (Yamaha).

New Zealander Jesse Stroud (Yamaha) was in the early mix as well before crashing at turn six – the same piece of tarmac that also claimed Georgia Stephens (Yamaha) a few laps later. They were the only two DNFs in the 17-rider field.

The championship battle has now tightened appreciably, with Newman 6pts (189 to 183) in front of Watts, followed by the charging Knezovic (182).

Races two and three will be held tomorrow.

ShopYamaha R3 Cup

What a breathtaking way to start the new ShopYamaha R3 Cup season, with Valentino Knezovic outlasting Jesse Stroud by a miniscule 0.032 seconds after a race full of punching and counter-punching.

They were glued together the whole way as Knezovic continued his rich vein of form and Stroud hit back hard after a crash in the earlier Supersport 300 opener.

The battle for third was also eye-catching, with Will Nassif securing the last spot on the podium from Jordan Simpson, John Pelgrave and Ryder Gilbert.

bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup

Hunter Corney’s spectacular bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup season has continued, with the 13-year-old Toowoomba rider winning his sixth race of the season in front of Ethan Johnson, Elijah Andrew, Nicolas Lazos, William Strugnell and Jed Louis.

The race was red-flagged early after an incident involving front runners Hunter Charlett and Ross McAdam, after what been another breathtaking battle between the Yamaha YZF-R15 brigade.

Corney’s lead has now ballooned to 43pts over Johnson, who takes over second from McAdam.

There are two more races tomorrow.
