AFT: Bauman Rolls to Third Consecutive Victory at ThrottleFest

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The rolling Briar Bauman (No. 3 Super.com/RWR Harley-Davidson XG750R) upped his win streak to three with yet another dominant outing, the latest coming at the Budds Creek Half-Mile in the inaugural Parts Unlimited ThrottleFest presented by Carter CAT, Round 6 of the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing.

The Main Event of the four-day event hosted by Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland, was expected to be a showdown involving Bauman, reigning Grand National Champion Dallas Daniels (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07), and Mission AFT SuperTwins points leader Kody Kopp (No. 12 Latus Motors Racing Harley-Davidson XG750R).

And arguably it was, in a sense, albeit one effectively decided in the opening seconds of the race. 

Bauman and Daniels went elbow-to-elbow as they disputed the holeshot. Bauman ultimately had the superior positioning aboard his Rick Ware Racing Harley-Davidson XG750R, which not only forced Daniels to accept second but resulted in him getting shuffled back to third by an opportunistic Chad Cose (No. 49 PRO Roofing/Parker Racing Yamaha MT-07).

The Estenson Racing Yamaha ace would spend the next six minutes attempting to uncover a path back around Cose. And by the time he finally managed to do so, Bauman was more than three seconds clear at the front.

Bauman negotiated his way through heavy traffic over the final couple of laps, allowing Daniels to slash the deficit down to 2.208 seconds, but the outcome was never truly put in doubt.

After Daniels worked his way past and disappeared in second, Cose shifted his attention to Kopp, who was creeping up from fourth. Despite Kopp’s late push, the Californian held on to the spot by a nerve-wracking 0.210 seconds, securing Cose’s first premier-class podium in eight seasons.

Hunter Bauer (No. 24 G&G Racing Yamaha MT-07) and Aidan RoosEvans (No. 26 FRA Trust Advisors Harley-Davidson XG750R) joined Kopp to put rookies fourth, fifth, and sixth. 

Meanwhile, Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda/Mission Foods Honda CB750 Hornet), Morgen Mischler (No. 13 IFS Waste Services/D&D Cycles Aprilia Tuareg 660), Cameron Smith (No. 34 Fredericktown Yamaha/Thee Kathy Gray Yamaha MT-07), and Declan Bender (No. 70 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07) closed out the top ten.

Bauman’s surge has shifted the Grand National Championship outlook, closing the margin separating the top three dramatically in recent weeks.

While Kopp continues to lead with 117 points, Daniels (110) and Bauman (108) are now both well within striking distance in second and third.

After scoring the 37th Mission AFT SuperTwins win of his career, the two-time Grand National Champion said, “There’s something about doing it with a crew you thoroughly enjoy doing it with… We just work at it. We weren’t the quickest all day. We were a bit off. But they turned that thing upside down. I’ll be upfront – we didn’t change a clicker on the motorcycle the last two Nationals except for gearing. And today we threw the toolbox at that thing, and we found it. I’m just proud of my whole Rick Ware Racing team.”

KICKER AFT Singles

It took three starts to make it happen, but Kage Tadman (No. 28 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R) ultimately ripped into the lead from pole position and powered his way to his fourth-career KICKER AFT Singles victory.

The two prior starts were quickly nullified by early-race red flags – both times removing Chase Saathoff (No. 88 1st Impressions Race Team Husqvarna FC450) from the lead and erasing less-than-ideal launches for the otherwise on-form Tadman.

The second of those reds was thrown following a lowside crash on the part of Tarren Santero (No. 75 Roof Systems/Vinson Construction Honda CRF450R), a fall that sparked a chain reaction that also claimed Evan Kelleher (No. 31 Schaeffer’s Motorsports KTM 450 SX-F) and Logan Eisenhard (No. 66 Eisenhard Racing/Pags Powersports KTM 450 SX-F).

Tadman finally nailed the third start and was further blessed with the added good fortune of teammate Walker Porter (No. 10 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R) slotting into second behind him.

Saathoff, meanwhile, was fourth off the line, stashed behind both Turner Hondas and the cagey Trevor Brunner (No. 21 KMA Racing/March Equipment Yamaha YZ450F).

The race’s drama largely unfolded behind Tadman, who pulled clear at the front.

Saathoff fought his way by Brunner into third and then moved Porter out of the way to seize control of second with just over a minute remaining on the clock. He was then, however – and incredibly – overhauled by Santero, who somehow managed to slash his way up through the field after being forced to the back of the grid due to his earlier crash.

In fact, Santero nearly did the unthinkable, reeling in Tadman from multiple seconds back before at last crossing the stripe only 0.377-seconds off the victory.

A visibly frustrated Saathoff finished third, while Porter regrouped from being punted up the track to claim his second consecutive fourth-place finish.

The triumph marked Tadman’s first to come outside his home state and away from a Short Track venue. He said, “We came out of the trailer perfect. We haven’t really made many changes to the bike today, and we’ve been P1 all day. I can’t thank the team enough – the bike was perfect. The track was so sick too. This definitely feels good. I’m excited.”

Reigning champion Tom Drane (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) was unusually quiet en route to fifth. 

He was followed by Jack Brucks (No. 113 1st Impressions Race Team Husqvarna FC450), Ryder Reese (No. 41 Fasthouse/Smoking Butcher Coffee KTM 450 SX-F FE), Brunner, Dylan Cunningham (No. 252 Scott Stump/Joel Laub KTM 450 SX-F), and Jared Lowe (No. 63 Big R Racing/Vinson Construction Honda CRF450R), as they rounded out the back half of the top ten in that order.

Despite registering his worst result of the season, Drane still holds a sizable 16-point advantage over Tadman (111-95), with Saathoff and Brunner right there in third (94) and fourth (92), respectively. 

AFT ProSport 450

Bayne Nantz (No. 313 Nantz Bros Racing KTM 450 SX-F) became the fourth different rider to claim victory in AFT ProSport 450 action with a wire-to-wire win at Budds Creek.

The AFT ProSport 450 Main packed in significantly more excitement than that brief summary may suggest. Nantz was hounded early by Camlin Durelle (No. 27 Durelle Racing Yamaha YZ450F), who didn’t even plan to enter the qualifying Road to AFT class in Friday’s AMA-sanctioned Mission Foods CTR Showcase Event, and only finished 11th when he did.

But Durelle found his form on Saturday, looking like an early contender for the win before making contact with Nantz’s rear-end. That incident sent him up the track and down the order.

Loic Nadeau (No. 21 Racine Racing KTM 450 SX-F), Adam Costan-Wood (No. 88 Turner Racing Honda CRF450R), and Brody Hanson (No. 99 Hanson Racing KTM 450 SX-F) picked up the chase in Durelle’s absence, transforming the race into a tight four-way scrap for the win.

Silver Dollar winner Costan-Wood dove under Nadeau for second and then attempted to displace Nantz on the final lap with the same maneuver – a plot that came up 0.163 seconds short of success at the checkered flag.

14-year-old Nantz said, “The track changed a lot since the heat. It got a lot more moisture. When I first got on it (for the Main), it was a totally different track. It was tricky at first, but I got it down towards the end.”

Nadeau held on to earn a close third, while Hanson and Matéo Racine (No. 23X Picotte Motosport KTM 450 SX-F) came home fourth and fifth, respectively.

CSBK: Race 1 Results For Shannonville

Ben Young wins Superbike opener, Casas takes long-awaited Supersport victory at Shannonville.

Shannonville, ON – The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship kicked off the 2026 season with a pair of significant wins on Saturday, with Ben Young and Tomas Casas each taking race one victories at Shannonville Motorsport Park.

The feature GP Bikes Pro Superbike class was pure chaos from even before the race, as Connor Campbell had a mechanical failure in morning practice and had to grab Alex Michel’s supersport bike, a machine Campbell had not ridden for three years. David Mackay also had to take some time to adjust to the brand-new Bridgestone V03 tires, citing “More grip than expected from the newly developed V03.”

Once the race began, Ben Young had another one of his slow starts, allowing Jordan Szoke to blast past into the lead along with Tomas Casas, Andrew Van Winkle, and Mackay, relegating the Van Dolder’s Home Team Honda to fifth. However, Young would make quick work of Van Winkle in turn two and was quickly back into third place after the first lap.

Van Winkle would follow Young through, taking third as both cleared MacKay early on, but a mistake from the Mountainview Motorsports Honda on the back straight would demote him back to fifth and promote MacKay back onto the podium.

Szoke was flying, setting a best lap of 1:04:980 with only Young able to get close, but a daring move from Young on the back straight caught the Canadian Kawasaki Motors rider flatfooted.

The reigning champion recovered to first, but Szoke would keep him honest until the 14-time Superbike champ had a problem, saying, “I had quite a bit of brake fade near the end. I was hoping to stick with Young for a little longer, but I had to take it easy and hopefully I can stick with him longer tomorrow.”

The three-way battle for third ended with MacKay snatching the position, scoring his first career Superbike podium, but Van Winkle did not make it easy. The Chilliwack, BC teen was consistently gaining bit by bit on MacKay until the end of the race, while Casas was unfortunately repassed after a couple of laps after Van Winkle’s off-track excursion, though Casas put in an impressive showing on his Supersport bike.

The OPP Pro Supersport race was an exciting one, as Cole Alexander got the start of his life and shot all the way to third from the second row, before the rookie had issues at the penultimate corner and dropped to fourth.

The battle for the lead was turning into a battle of wit, with Tomas Casas able to stick with Sebastian Tremblay for the majority of the race and pass him decisively at turn eight on lap fourteen.

Tremblay was able to fight back at Casas the rest of the race but could not pass the former champion, who finished the race in first for the first time since 2019. Tremblay mentioned on the podium that he “could not sustain the quick pace during the race, and when I was slow, Casas passed me before I could pick the pace back up.”

Mavrick Cyr was in close contention for third, but could not cement a move. Matthew Simpson would profit from the incident that occurred with the Alexander Racing Suzuki and would go on to take third place. Simpson was happy with his podium, but stated that he “needed a better start tomorrow,” as the Suzuki rider also finished second in the first race here last year at Shannonville Motorsports Park.

Rounding out the top five was Alexander and Cyr, making it an all-Suzuki top-five, cementing a strong constructor’s lead in the Supersport class after race one of round one.

More action was due for the Support class races, as the AIM Insurance Amateur Superbike class had Alexis Beaudoin breeze past to the lead in a short time. The #146 that got disqualified from qualifying was able to produce consistent lap times close to the Pro Supersport riders.

JS Lefebvre was also able to claw his way back to second with Baillie Ives rounding out the podium. Daniel Johnson was not able to ride in the amateur superbike due to his crash in the amateur supersport race earlier.

The EBC Amateur Supersport class provided loads of action, as St Maurice, QC rider Beaudoin was able to slingshot around the outside into turn one, passing four bikes to put the previously disqualified rider into third. But he was not done as two more moves were on the board for the #146, who pulled away to finish first by more than five seconds, with Jeff Barnard and Jeremy Lazure rounding out the podium.

Johnson was not so lucky. A brave move into turn six was enough to send him sliding into the grass, ending the #35’s race. Another crash in the closing stage was Yannick Rouleau, the QC rider, who sent it too hard at turn eleven, sending his bike into early servicing and subsequently ending his race.

In the Importations Thibault Twins Cup, an explosive start from Justin Marshall made him jump up to second as reigning champion J.P. Tache cleared off quickly. Marshall would not keep the place for long, as Louie Raffa breezed past him a couple of laps later, but the #498 Suzuki was able to keep Bronti Verbeek behind and take third place, with Tache winning comfortably.

Verbeek also had a strong start, jumping up to third, but could not get past Marshall as Verbeek had the door shut for the entirety of the race. The #93 Suzuki would not finish the race, as a hail mary at the final corner proved too much for the bike to handle, as it slid out from under Verbeek and crashed into the pits.

Raffa had a monstrous recovery, as a poor start put him into the midfield, but the Aprilia engine in the #76 proved too much for both Marshall and Verbeek, pulling ahead at the back straight and coasting to a clean second-place finish.

In the Scorpion EXO Ninja ZX-4R Cup, Jared Walker had a terrific start with Jacob Black fighting for the lead right off the bat, but the reigning champ went straight on at the back straight, giving Walker a comfortable win at the end. But the happiest man in the class was JP Schroder, grabbing third place and an ecstatic celebration on the podium.

In the Super Sonic Road Race School Lightweight Sportbike class, it was a dominant start from Lachlan Alexander, who pulled away by four seconds after only the second lap. Mason Archer had a bad start, dropping him to 5th, but the #819 was able to pull his wits about and push into second. Archer set a faster time than Alexander in lap five, but dropped back allowing the #32 bike to coast to a win with a seven-second gap.

WorldSBK: Superpole Race Results From Most

Nicolo Bulega won the World Superbike Superpole Race Sunday morning at Autodrom Most, in Czech Republic. Riding his Aruba.it Racing Ducati Panigale V4R, the Championship point leader won the 10-lap race by 1.959 seconds.

His teammate, Iker Lecuona was the runner-up, and Yari Montella was third on his Barni Spark Racing Team Ducati Panigale V4R.

American Garrett Gerloff finished 6th on his Kawasaki ZX-10RR.

Following medical checks, Danilo Petrucci was diagnosed with a coccyx fracture and has been declared unfit for the rest of the Czech Round.

Nicolo Bulega leads the championship with 285 points, 90 ahead of Iker Lecuona who has 195 points. Yari Montella is third with 105 points.

More from a press release issued by WorldSBK:

Recovery Mode Enabled: Bulega responds to Turn 1, Lap 1 error to claim victory ahead of Lecuona. The #11 lost a couple of places at the start of the race but he was able to extend his winning run.

Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati) continued his MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship winning streak in dramatic fashion in the Tissot Superpole Race, bouncing back from a Turn 1, Lap 1 error to claim victory ahead of teammate Iker Lecuona. Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) made it three consecutive rostrums in WorldSBK by claiming P3 at the Autodrom Most for the Czech Round.

RESPONDING TO A MISTAKE

Lecuona made a good start from P3 on the grid, while Bulega ran wide at Turn 1 and dropped to third. He passed Yari Montella (Barni Spark Racing Team) on the opening lap, and then teammate Lecuona under heavy braking at Turn 1 on Lap 2. The two factory Ducati riders instantly pulled out a gap over the chasing pack, while Montella ran in a comfortable third place. However, as the race progressed, the #5 found himself under pressure from Lorenzo Baldassarri (Team GoEleven), but Montella was able to resist his challenge. At the front, the #11 slowly edged out a gap over #7 as he made it 18 consecutive wins in WorldSBK, while it’s also 14 to start the 2026 – which was more than the all-time record set by Toprak Razgatlioglu in 2024 and 2025. His 34^th WorldSBK win means he has gone level with 2013 Champion Tom Sykes. It means the Race 2 front row will be comprised of Bulega, Lecuona and Montella.

SURRA VS GERLOFF IGNITES

‘Balda’ was forced to settle for fourth as he pulled away from the Alberto Surra (Motocorsa Racing)-Garrett Gerloff (Kawasaki WorldSBK Team) battle as they squabbled over P5. The #67 moved ahead of Gerloff on Lap 4 at Turn 1 and held position until Lap 8 when the American passed him at Turn 20. However, Surra immediately responded at Turn 1 on Lap 9 to re-claim P5 and he resisted the Kawasaki rider over the final lap to hold that position, with Gerloff finishing in sixth place, with the trio making up Row 2 for Race 2.

BEST CAREER RESULT FOR BRIDEWELL

Tarran Mackenzie (MGM Optical Express Racing) had a strong race as he claimed seventh place, ahead of Tommy Bridewell (Superbike Advocates) who claimed his first top ten finish since Jerez 2019, where he was P10, and that means this is also his best WorldSBK result. Alex Lowes (bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team) finished in ninth, ahead of Michael van der Mark (ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team) who narrowly missed out on a top nine finish.

RETIRING FROM THE SUPERPOLE RACE

Sam Lowes (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) had hoped to be in the rostrum battle, but he crashed at Turn 1 on Lap 1. He re-joined the race and finished in 17^th place. Xavi Vierge (Pata Maxus Yamaha) retired from the race when he crashed at Turn 1 on Lap 2, while Somkiat Chantra (Honda HRC) fell at Turn 15 on the same lap; he re-joined the race but took his Honda machine back to the pits. Bahattin Sofuoglu (Motoxracing WorldSBK Team) had a tech issue around halfway through the race, dropping him out of contention.

The top nine from the Tissot Superpole Race, full results here:

1. Nicolo Bulega (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati)

More from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Quiles unstoppable in epic final corner showdown in Barcelona. A hat-trick of victories in as many GPs, the 18-year-old has conquered Catalunya.

Three on the bounce and a 64-point lead after six Grands Prix, Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) was once again unstoppable as he came good on Grand Prix Sunday for victory in Barcelona. Despite looking like his rivals may have the better of him this weekend, the #28 resisted a last-corner charge from David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) on the last lap to hold on to victory, whilst Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) came through from 13^th to pip Muñoz to second at the line.

Off the line and it was a brilliant start from polesitter Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo) who grabbed the holeshot, leading the opening lap whilst Championship leader Quiles was battling away with Hakim Danish (AEON Credit – MT Helmets – MSI) for a top five placing. As is always the case in Barcelona, slipstream proved vital and the classic Moto3 battle saw them swap places down the front straight. A lead group of nine was soon formed with David Almansa (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP), teammate Muñoz, Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing), Danish, Jesus Rios (Rivacold Snipers Team), Uriarte, Quiles, Carpe, Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) and Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia) all trading paint.

At half race distance, Uriarte had got back to the front ahead of Almansa whilst Muñoz was squabbling with Fernandez in similar scenes to Jerez at the end of April. Meanwhile, the lead group’s battling had allowed the second group to close, headed by Marco Morelli (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) and Casey O’Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse), the Irishman starting from 24^th on the grid and coming into contention.

Four laps to go and having sat back and watched the fighting, Quiles came to the fore and took the lead before battling with Almansa, Danish, Uriarte and Muñoz. Two laps to go and it was still wide open but it was over for Rios, who fell at Turn 10 on the penultimate lap. At the front and it was Quiles who led onto the final lap and after the Championship leader held on at Turn 5 and Turn 10, it was all coming down to the final corner. Muñoz was in a prime position and dived for the inside, snatching P1 Rossi-style. It wasn’t to be though, a front-end moment gave Quiles the run up to the line to make it three consecutive wins. Carpe nabbed Muñoz on the run to the line with an all-Spanish podium for the second time this season.

Behind the top three, Uriarte clinched a best finish of fourth ahead of Almansa, whilst Morelli came through for sixth. Danish comes away with a best finish yet in P7. Pratama was top Honda in eighth whilst Fernandez holds on to P2 in the standings but could only manage P9, leaving him 64 points adrift of Quiles. O’Gorman rounded out the top ten, a solid ride from the #67.

All done in Barcelona, the lightweight class turn their attention to Mugello in Italy in two weeks’ time!

BSB: Redding Won Race 1 at Donington Park

Redding strikes first to win ahead of Cook and Ryde at Donington Park.

Scott Redding celebrated his first victory of the British Superbike Championship season for the Hager PBM Racing Team at Donington Park, holding off Max Cook and Kyle Ryde in a red-flagged opening race for rain.

Cook had started the race leading the pack and setting an impressive pace at the front of the on the AJN Steelstock bimota with Ryde and Danny Kent the top three during the opening laps, before Redding moved into third on the fourth lap.

Cook had been edging ahead of the champions behind him, but the gap never exceeded more than 0.8s as along with Ryde and Redding the trio had the edge over their rivals.

On lap 14, Cook was under attack with both Ryde and Redding moving ahead with a move on the brakes as the battle for the opening race win of the weekend intensified.

Ryde was holding off Redding and Cook, but on the penultimate lap, the 2019 champion moved into the lead with a determined move at the Old Hairpin as the rain flags returned. As the trio arrived at the Melbourne Loop, Ryde ran wide, and Cook capitalised to move back up to second.

As the trio crossed the line, the rain began to intensify and the race was red flagged as Redding took the win from Cook and Ryde.

Behind, there was a race-long scrap for fourth with seven riders involved as they continuously traded blows throughout the race, but it was Leon Haslam for the Moto Rapido Racing team who held the lead of the second pack from Christian Iddon in fifth.

Rory Skinner was able to get back ahead of Bradley Ray for sixth with Storm Stacey completing the top eight as Danny Kent and Lee Jackson completed the top ten finishers.

CSBK: Young On Pole at Shannonville

Shannonville, ON – The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship returned to Shannonville Motorsport Park on Friday for the opening round of the 2026 CSBK season.

With the debut of the Bridgestone V03 tires in the GP Bikes Pro Superbike class and a return to a familiar track, defending champion Ben Young aims to cement himself as the main frontrunner for the weekend’s two races on the Van Dolder’s Home Team Honda after a poor outing at Shannonville last season.

The Thornbury, ON rider was the first to break the 1:06 barrier on Shannonville’s 2.47km Pro Track on Friday, and the only one to finish in the 1:05’s (1:05:883) for P1. Jordan Szoke had a less-than-stellar time on his Kawasaki ZX-10R; both his A and B bikes suffered engine failures during the opening practice session, meaning the Lynden, ON rider would need to take part in Q1.

Two Supersport riders would capitalize and get into the top five, with Suzuki riders Sebastian Tremblay and Tomas Casas able to put their Supersport machines directly into Superbike Q2.

Young would get right up to speed in Q2, grabbing the BS Battery Pole Award to headline the front of the grid for Saturday and Sunday’s races with a time of 1:05:521, even with a less-than-ideal schedule leading up to the Shannonville opener.

“Due to testing at the Suzuka circuit in Japan, I was feeling jetlagged after arriving home last night, and I needed an adjustment as Suzuka is very different from Shannonville,” said the defending CSBK champion.

Szoke was able to get his bike back up and running, thanks in part to Connor Campbell – who lent Szoke the engine from his B bike – and the Canadian Kawasaki Motors mechanics, who were able to get his bike up and running.

“I would not have been running in this for as long as I did without these guys; they are the best,” Szoke said of his Kawasaki crew. Szoke was able to claw back into Q2, setting the second fastest time, lining up alongside Ben Young on the front row with a 1:06:178.

Tomas Casas, who was originally only doing the feature Superbike class to obtain more track time, was able to snatch third with a 1:06:236. “I will need a really good launch, as it will be a challenging race for me. The superbikes can so easily pass me, and it’s not so easy to pass them back,” commented the two-time Pro Supersport champion.

Fourth fastest was Andrew Van Winkle on the Mountainview Motorsports Honda with a lap time of 1:06:332. The Chilliwack, BC rider was also fastest in Q1, setting a time of 1:06:293 ahead of Szoke, but was not fast enough to contest with him in Q2.

2023 Pro Supersport champion David MacKay finished the session with a best time of 1:06:543 on the ODH/Snow City Cycle Honda, rounding out the top five.

The OPP Racing Pro Supersport class was also tightly contested, with Sebastien Tremblay going on to grab pole for the Supersport opener with a 1:06:332. The other sole rider in the 1:06’s was Tomas Casas with a 1:06:511, while Matt Simpson rounded out the front row with a 1:07.611.

Casas mentioned having a clutch issue during qualifying, which prevented him from setting down a true flyer. Considering the Suzuki rider was less than 0.1 seconds off pole position, Pro Supersport is shaping up to be an exciting battle for both of the races in this class.

In the AIM Insurance Amateur Superbike class, Hamilton, ON rider Jeff Barnard snatched pole position, setting a time of 1:11:433. Daniel Johnson from Ajax was right behind him at 1:12:637, with Julia Krans finishing third with a 1:13:107.

Unfortunately, the provisional pole sitter Alexis Beaudoin was disqualified from the session for a post-qualifying technical infringement. The field spread from second onwards was only around two seconds at the Shannonville Pro circuit, which will make for a very unpredictable and exciting podium fight on both Saturday and Sunday.

The EBC Amateur Supersport class was also filled with action, as Quebecois rider Beaudoin from St. Maurice was disqualified again from this session after originally setting another provisional pole time of 1:08:790.

That opened the door for Sherbrooke, QC’s Yannick Rouleau, who grabbed pole position in front of Johnson and Barnard, the top three with times of 1:10:981, 1:11:169, and 1:11:565, respectively.

It was an Aprilia front row lockout in the Importations Thibault Twins Cup, with JP Tache fastest of the day, finishing the session with a 1:10:578. Louie Raffa and Sebastian Silva rounded out the top three with a 1:11:561 and a 1:13:189, respectively.

In the Scorpion EXO Ninja ZX-4R Cup, Jared Walker (1:14:345) was able to beat reigning champion Jacob Black (1:14:645) for pole position, with Rob Cousineau (1:14:755) not far behind in third, the top three separated by only 4 tenths in what could turn out to be a straight shootout for this round’s class victory.

Super Sonic Road Race School Lightweight Sportbike also put up a good showing with an all-Ontario, all-Kawasaki top three. Amaranth rider Lachlan Alexander grabbed pole with a 1:14:515, followed by Scott Szollos from Pickering with a 1:16:040, and youngster Mason Archer from Toronto, rounding out the top three with a 1:16:614.
