Spriggs stretches Saturday series Supersport lead.
Yamaha Racing Team with Yamaha Motorcycle Insurance’s Wayne Maxwell swept Saturday’s sixth round of the 2015 Australian FX-Superbike Championship at Winton Motor Raceway in Victoria.
The perfect run of Maxwell has positioned him just five points from title leader Troy Herfoss (Team Honda Racing) entering the final round in Sydney during December. Herfoss was runner-up today.
Completing the overall podium today was Maxwell’s YRT with YMI teammate Glenn Allerton, who went 3-3-2 after edging out Herfoss in the final encounter. He’s a further 18 points behind Maxwell in the series.
Top of the Pro-Am entries was Mike Jones (Australian Outdoor Living – Cube Racing Team Kawasaki) in fourth overall, two points ahead of third factory Yamaha rider Cru Halliday completing the top five.
Positions six through 10 were filled by Jamie Stauffer (Team Honda Racing), Ben Burke (SA Kawasaki BCperformance), Linden Magee (LMR Honda), Evan Byles (SA Kawasaki BCperformance) and Matthew Walters (Kawasaki Connection), who crashed out of race two.
In Supersport it was Callum Spriggs (Yamaha) who stretched his championship advantage with 2-1-1 results, from race one winner Michael Blair (Yamaha) and Paul Young (Kawasaki), who completed the podium overall. Brayden Elliott (Suzuki) rebounded from the rear of the grid for fourth, with Brad Swallow (Kawasaki) fifth.
Other round winners at Winton this afternoon included Ben Henry (Formula Oz), Ben White (FX300 Ninja Cup), Brendan McIntyre (Formula Xtreme), Adrian Pierpoint (Nakedbike) and Mathew Fyffe (Pro-Twins).
