Cube Racing Kawasaki pilot Mike Jones has swept the Yamaha Motorcycle Insurance Superbike class at the second round of the 2015 Yamaha Motor Finance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul Pirelli.

In glorious sunshine at Morgan Park in Queensland, Jones was a comfortable victor on the day, taking impressive wins in both Superbike races.

JD Racing Yamaha’s Daniel Falzon finished the round in second with a pair of seconds, while Ryan Hampton (Next Gen Motorsports) claimed third overall with 4-3 finishes.

There was an air of anticipation as the opening Superbike race got underway and it was Falzon who moved into the lead at the opening turn ahead of Jones, who was slow to get off the mark when the lights turned green.

Chaz Hern came through in third position with James Mutton in fourth, Ben Henry and Phil Lovett in fifth and sixth.

By the end of lap one Jones had moved into the lead, but the race was red-flagged after a group of four kangaroos made their way across the track.

An amazing restart saw Jones, Falzon and Hern come together, and in a test of nerve it was Jones who made way dropping behind the other two riders.

Hern took the lead at turn one from Falzon and held onto it for the whole of lap one before he was overtaken by Falzon on the outside and Jones on the inside at the first corner of lap two.

Jones took the lead and at that point it was busyness as usual, after the local posted back-to-back sub 1m16s lap times to open a gap at the front from Falzon.

Falzon in turn had pulled a full three seconds clear of Hern, while Mutton and Hampton, Henry and Lovett followed.

Mutton dropped back into seventh on lap six of the 14-lap race, pushing Hampton up to fourth and a couple of seconds clear of Lovett in fifth.

By the half way-mark of the race Jones was dominating up front, opening an eight-second lead over Falzon who had the same buffer from third-placed Hern.

Mutton entered the pits on lap nine forcing him out of top 10 contention, and with the top-three looking safe all eyes were on the battle for third, fourth and fifth.

Hampton, Lovett and Henry was the order from the half-way point of the race, and that is exactly how it stayed through the backend of the race.

Hampton rode consistently well to hang on to fourth, while Lovett ended the race nearly 12 seconds ahead of Henry in fifth.

But up front it was all about Jones, who finished 17.242 seconds ahead of Falzon, with Hern a further 13-second behind.

Falzon took the lead into the opening turn of race two meaning Jones had to settle for second spot, with Hern following the pair in third.

It didn’t take long for Jones to claim the lead, and he began to put a gap on Falzon, while Hern, Henry, Hampton and Mutton were all bunched up behind them.

By the end of lap two there was still only a second between the top-two riders, however the gap to the field had blown out to four seconds.

Hampton moved up into fourth spot on the third lap, while Lovett, Adam Senior, Phil Czaj and Andy Fisher were all inside the top-10.

On lap six under intense pressure from Hampton, Hern came off at turn six, and by the time he re-entered the race he was back in 11th spot.

Up the front at the halfway mark Jones had opened a 5.937 gap to Falzon who in turn was another nine seconds clear of Hampton in third.

Henry was not far behind in fourth, while Lovett was keeping Mutton at bay in fifth and sixth spots respectively.

With two laps to go Mutton was forced out of the race pushing Czaj into sixth spot, but nearly a full minute ahead of him was a possessed Jones who never looked like doing anything other than taking the race win.

In the end it was a matter of how big the gap would be, Jones finishing a comfortable 13.448 seconds ahead of Falzon in second.

Hampton held on to third place, while Henry and Lovett rounded out the top five.

Jones now holds an 18-point lead in the championship from Falzon in second, with Hampton a further 10 points behind in third.

New South Wales rider Brayden Elliott won both Yamaha Supersport races to win the second round of the 2015 ASBK series in emphatic style.

Elliott continued on from where he left off in Saturday’s qualifying by putting on a flawless show in front of the Queensland crowd.

Troy Guenther took second place for the round with two second-place finishes, while Kane Burns ended the round in third place with 3-4 results.

In the overall championship standings, Elliott holds a two-point lead from Burns, with Aaiden Coote another four points behind in third.

Callum Barker came away with the Honda Moto3/125GP round win at Morgan Park, the race wins split by Barker and Matt Barton, who won the third and final race.

After winning the opening race on Saturday and the second race held on Sunday, Barker had to settle for third place in the final rice after being issued with a 10-second jump start penalty.

He still managed to claim third in the race which was enough to give him the round win ahead of Ben Leonard and Brian Houghton.

Western Australian rider Michelle Marais had an incredible weekend at Morgan Park, taking the round win in the Production class.

Marais pulled of a final race win on Sunday claiming the lead in the race on the final lap, to hand her a hard-fought round win ahead of Justin Hall and Victorian rider Illish Ross.

The next round of the championship will be held at Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia from 22-24 May.
