Jules Cluzel has become the third rider to win back-to-back World Supersport races at Phillip Island with an all-the-way triumph in today’s 18-lap race.

The Frenchman was shadowed by his MV Agusta teammate Lorenzo Zanetti for most of the journey before pulling away in the final few laps and recording a 3.494-second victory, with Gino Rea (Honda) claiming the final spot on the podium after a tough battle with fellow Briton Kyle Smith (Honda).

Kawasaki’s Kenan Sofuoglu was battling at the front in today’s race before running off the circuit at turn one on lap six.

The three-time world champion then fell back to last before carving his way back to sixth position, with Thai rider Ratthapark Wilairot (Honda) in fifth.

Australians Aiden Wagner (Yamaha) and Glenn Scott (Honda) scored world championship points in 13th and 14th, with Alex Phillis (Honda) 17th.
