Australian Outdoor Living Cube Racing Kawasaki rider Mike Jones wrapped up the 2015 Yamaha Motor Finance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul Pirelli with a dominant double win at Symmons Plains in Tasmania on Sunday.

New Zealander Ryan Hampton (Next Gen Motorsports BMW) continued his run of form with fourth, well ahead of top-finishing Tasmanian Brad Wootton (North West Motorcycles Suzuki) after Brett Simmonds (Yamaha) crashed out on the final lap.

Come race two, Jones again controlled proceedings from the front, crossing the two-part race finish 12.875s ahead of the field in convincing fashion. The title was his after Falzon crashed out following a collision with Henry that caused a stoppage on lap 11.

Runner-up in race two was Hampton, who marginally got the better of Henry for both the race position and overall positions on the podium in second and third respectively. Quentin Blazley (Suzuki) and Wootton filled the top five.
