Yamaha hard-charger Daniel Falzon has one hand on the Phillip Island Supersport Championship trophy after his emphatic start-to-finish victory this morning – the start of the on-track action for day two of the 2014 Tissot Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.

Falzon was a class above as he inched away from race one antagonist Aaron Morris throughout the eight-lapper, eventually winning by 3.032s. Callum Spriggs was third ahead of Ryan Taylor; the same Yamaha-riding quartet which did the business in race one.

“It’s my first appearance in support races at a MotoGP event and I’ve really enjoyed it so far,” said Falzon. “To have two wins on the board is great, and I really enjoyed leading hard from the front today.

“That was a deliberate tactic, and I managed to get a small break from the opening lap and then just kept going. This could be my last race on a supersport machine and I’m in it to win it.”

Spriggs and Morris were battling hard for second place with a couple of laps to go, but after Spriggs ran wide at turn two and nearly crashed he decided to err on the side of caution and settled for a safe third position.

Kane Burns (Suzuki) was the big mover in race two, his fifth place finish a five-spot improvement on yesterday’s opener. Burns just edged out Mitch Levy (Yamaha) in a typical Phillip Island drag to the finish line.

Just one race remains in the Falzon-led 2014 Phillip Island Supersport Championship, which began way back in February and will conclude a 9:05am tomorrow.
