ASBK Alpinestars Superbike

Josh Waters. Cru Halliday. Peerless across every measure, but with championship rival Josh Waters (McMartin Racing with K-Tech Ducati V4R) alongside him on the front row the celebrations will be short and sweet for Herfoss.

 

The Queenslander turned up the wick on his Penrite Honda CBR1000RR-R in the second Alpinestars Superbike qualifying session at The Bend, and the spoils were spectacular: the first rider to go under the 1m50s bracket. Mike Jones. Broc Pearson.
Troy Herfoss. Herfoss defeated Waters in a tight race one finish, before a mid-race crash from Waters in the decider took all the pressure off the new 2023 champion, who signed off from his career with Honda in fairytale fashion. Herfoss’ previous ASBK titles came in 2016 and 2018, while it’s now a dominant 12 championships for Honda in the 35-year history of Australia’s premier road racing category. Race two saw Stauffer and Staring both crash out within the first two laps, but the most telling departure was Waters after losing the front end on his V4R at turn six while in second place. The opening 11-lap race saw Herfoss lead from start to finish, with Waters running line astern for the majority of the journey save for a brief period when defending ASBK champion Mile Jones slotted into second.

Michelin Supersport

Ty Lynch. Olly Simpson. Michelin Supersport is also delicately poised, with returning internationals Harrison Voight and Tom Toparis leading the qualifying charts ahead of the three riders vying for the championship: Olly Simpson, Cameron Dunker and Ty Lynch. Sunday Supersport 600 The Bend. Tom Toparis. The final race of the year was almost a mirror image of the opener as Simpson and Voight diced with each other and Dunker eventually settled into fourth behind Jonathan Nahlous (Complete AV YZF-R6) to wrap up the championship. In race one, Voight led off the line but it wasn’t long before Simpson muscled his way into the lead with the knowledge that he had to win both races for any chance of wresting the title from Dunker’s grasp.

Supersport 300 & R3 Cup

Brandon Demmery. Cameron Swain. Marcus Hamod is the 2023 Supersport 300 champion after a 3-1-1 scorecard in the final round saw him finish on 327pts, just in front of Cameron Swain (323). Brandon Demmery (300pts) was third.

SUREFLIGHT SUPERBIKE MASTERS

Only one 2023 champion was crowned today: Keo Watson in the popular Sureflight Superbike Masters class. Sureflight Superbike Masters. Keo Watson (Yamaha FZR1000) already had the overall title in his keeping, and he finished first and second on Sunday to increase his lead in the final standings to a whopping 77pts (228 to 151) over Murray Clark (Suzuki GSX-R1127). Sureflight Superbike Masters. Sureflight Superbike Masters. Sureflight Superbike Masters.

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. Legendary rider Anthony West at Hidden Valley, getting used to the track once again...
Bryan Staring cleverly countered the Jones phenom by getting out early in Free Practice 3 And Bryan Staring set the early pace... The day ended with combined times giving the nod to Jones from Maxwell and Staring. Boost Mobile Ducati pits, Hidden Valley. Anthony West, Hidden Valley. Mike Jones, Hidden Valley. Wayne Maxwell took pole position at Hidden Valley Raceway for round four of the 2022 ASBK championship.
Ant has been jumping on and off planes competing in the EWC and ASBK Championship this year. Ant West. Arthur Sissis, race one, Hidden Valley ASBK. 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! Daniel Falzon, race one, ASBK round four, Hidden Valley. Allerton was on a mission from tenth on the grid (after a track limits penalty). In his 100th ASBK race he was on fire! Max Stauffer, race one, ASBK, Hidden Valley. Maxwell, Allerton, Halliday.
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. Maxwell, Waters, Staring, Jones, Sissis, Herfos and Falzon into turn one off the start of race one, round four, ASBK.

Thursday saw the riders and team members meet and greet local fans at the Darwin Waterfront, where they signed autographs and were interviewed about the weekend ahead. They then headed trackside for some shots. By all accounts it’s looking like a top weekend in the Top End. Stay tuned!

The format for the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown sees the Alpinestars Superbikes race three times over two days- a change to the usual two races on the Sunday. MA say that while this does not offer any particular rider an advantage, it does advantage teams that are fast on out-of-the-gate Friday morning as there is effectively one day less until race day.

As they say, once the flag drops, the BS stops and it was Wayne Maxwell who took the lead into turn one, keeping his lead for the whole way around Wakefield. There’s a lot of excitement around the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown and it’s not without good reason. By 10 am the sun was out, the fog cleared, and we settled in for what would be a great day of racing… Last year we saw some absolutely wild racing from the Western Australian track. Tune into SBS, Fox Sports and Channel 7 or read about the weekend here... Falzon and Epis all fought for position behind the leading pack.
In race two, Jones got the good start he needed, and a motivated and aggressive Cru Halliday held on for second with Wayne Maxwell similarly aggressive. Every round that Mike Jones pulls further ahead, it’s one less round to catch him, and as the available points pool starts to run out, we’re at this specific point of the season: the title is now his to lose. Epis recovered from his morning accident... Josh Waters. Glenn Allerton Bryan Staring.

Ty Lynch Tom Drane Lytras took the lead after yet another poor start from Condon. All eyes remained on the orange bike as he showed off his ability to come back in Race One. Sean Condon stepped in for the absent Tom Edwards and there were murmurs in the paddock about how a retired rider with a seven-year absence from racing could turn up and take pole. It’s been a few months between races for the Supersport 600 fraternity and some might need a quick look at the points before they roll out of pit lane this Friday to remind themselves; this is close! Early season form from Tom Bramich, Tom Drane, Olly Simpson and Tarbon Walker was somewhat collectively brought undone with DNS/DNFs at Wakefield. Lytras now ascends to the seemingly cursed leadership of the Michelin Supersport in a season where there have already been three leaders (and nominal leaders) by round three.
