It was Mike Jones who eventually took home the round win and extended his championship lead…
While Maxwell will be fast and up the front at the Island for round six and a likely repeat winner at The Bend in November, it might be for now and just end up a nice way to actually-for-real finish his career.
Early on, it wasn’t funny, but it was certainly entertaining as the leading duo in the championship were also the leading duo in race three.

And Bryan Staring set the early pace…
The day ended with combined times giving the nod to Jones from Maxwell and Staring.

Staring led for around five laps before Maxwell and Jones started to gain on him. Waters was right there so close.
Staring and Herfoss traded placers multiple times in the final laps. It was the battle of the race and fantastic!

Allerton was on a mission from tenth on the grid (after a track limits penalty). In his 100th ASBK race he was on fire!

Darwin also saw a joyful and resurgent Penrite Honda Troy Herfoss well involved, taking second overall on his CBR1000RR for a very-much welcomed return to the ASBK podium.
Troy Herfoss gave a legendary fightback after not only starting seventh but also returning to Darwin after a horrible crash last year that meant months of rehab.
