Yamaha-mounted Queensland talent Callum Spriggs converted his Supersport pole position to a trio of race wins and the overall in round one of the 2015 Australasian FX-Superbike Championship.

Spriggs comfortably won all three races ahead of fellow R6 rider Michael Blair, who was second overall, and Brayden Elliott (Suzuki) with a trio of third places.

Fourth overall was Mitch Levy (Yamaha) after he climbed the ladder in all three races, while Troy Guenther (Kawasaki) made it a mixture of manufacturers inside the top five in fifth overall.

There were three different winners across the three FX300 Ninja Cup races, the opener won by Mitchell Pirotta, race two by Samuel Davison and the third by Luke Burgess.

Burgess ended up the overall victor via 2-3-1 finishes, heading home a consistent Ben White and Jack Dawes on the overall podium.

Other support class winners on Saturday included Phil Lovett (Formula Oz) after Paul Byrne was a non-finisher in race two, Glenn Birchall (Formula Xtreme), Angus Reekie (Nakedbikes) and Michael McMillan (Pro-Twins).
