Young Queensland wildcard, 20-year-old Aiden Wagner, looks set to impress at this weekend’s opening round of the 2015 Supersport World Championship.

Wagner clocked his best ever lap time around the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit today during official testing ahead of the opening championship round.

He was the best Australian in testing today at Phillip Island, against a host of international riders from the World Superbike and World Supersport championship teams, maximising every minute of the final pre-season two day hit-out in sunny conditions.

Wagner who is mounting a privateer effort with his team, Oz Wildcard Racing, in the WSS class, scorched around the 4.445km circuit in 1m35.051secs on his Yamaha, only 1.3 seconds behind the pace-setting Kawasaki of three-time world champion Kenan Sofuoglu.

And the Queenslander who lives inland from the Sunshine Coast at Warmuran still has another two sessions tomorrow to try and improve on his time, before the teams catch their breath ahead of opening practice for this weekend’s round one on Friday.

Wagner, attempting to become the first Aussie World Supersport winner at Phillip Island since Andrew Pitt in 2008, will compete as a wildcard at Phillip Island, alongside compatriots Alex Phillis (Honda) and Sam Lambert (Triumph).

The fourth Australian rider, Glenn Scott, is kick starting his full-time world supersport campaign on a Honda. Scott was 19th fastest today, one spot ahead of Phillis and three in front of Lambert.
