Australia Superbike Championship has come to an end, with the last round at Queensland raceway and heading into the last round I was 3.5 point behind the leader in the championship.
Had 2 20 minute free practice sessions on Friday, for me I used these session to adapt to the bike and conditions and find a direction to go with the bike setup. Saturday went really good for me we had 2 30 minute qualifying sessions. We made good progress in free practice Friday and had a few different things to try. I felt really good on the bike and made a good lap time with a 1:11.5 which put me in P1 overall in qualifying. We had Superpole later in the afternoon, in my Superpole lap I was up in the first sector int the second sector I made a big mistake and lost a lot of time and my lap time put me back to 3rd on the grid.
Sunday we had two races. In race one it was a good battle at the from with Brodie waters and Mitchell Carr with consistent mid 11 lap times so the race pace was fast, unfortunately I had a problem and couldn’t finish the race, this was a big disappointment because it cost me the Championship. In race two there wast a lot of grip out there so it was had to lap as fast as race one. In the early stages of the race I could see that the other riders were struggling with grip so I put my head down and went for it, I was lapping in high 11’s and I gapped the rider in 2nd by 3 seconds and took the win. I was happy to come back after race one and put the CBR 600 on the top step of the podium.
Overall it was a pretty successful weekend we learnt a lot and made some positive progress.
I was crowned runner up in the Australian Suppersport Championship so a huge thanks to team Honda racing for there hard work and support all year and it was good working with them. Also thanks to Honda Australia, Arai Helmets, Oakley.
Couldn’t do it with out you guys thanks for all your support.
