Phillip island GP weekend
Had a amazing time down at Phillips island for the Grand Prix I arrived Wednesday and cruised around Melbourne all day before heading down to the island, my team mate Jamie Stauffer and myself went and raced some go Karts in Melbourne and had so much fun, mind you I did show him the way around the track !
Went to the track it was all set up ready for the weekend. Friday we had a practice and a qualifying, didn't really go to plan because the weather was horrible and my first proper race meeting on the 1000 it wasn't ideal way to start the weekend.
3 races on Saturday and I was feeling good by the last one, had a small problem with the set up of the bike so I was struggling there for a little bit but the positive was every race my lap time was getting faster and I was feeling better. I sat down with the mechanics at the end of Saturday to try and find a solution for the problems I was having. We all agreed on a set up to try for race 4 on Sunday. Race for started off really well got off to a good start and was running with the front guys did my fastest lap time around Phillip island at a 1:34.6 and was happy with how the bike was after the change. All in all it was a good experience on the superbike and I'm happy with how team Honda racing worked all weekend.
Thankyou to team Honda racing, Honda Australia, alpinestars, arai helmets, oakley
Awesome weekend, thanks guys
Superbike Test Phillip Island
Down here at Phillip island testing team Honda racings superbike for the first time. Ill keep you posted on how I go
Saturday PI Qualifying
Today went a lot better for us we had 2 30minute qualifying sessions. Q1 was really windy, cold track temp but it was dry, I went out and did about 4 laps and came in the change bike set up, I went back out with 8 minutes left in the sessions and was in 3rd. The change we made to the bike was a big improvement and I felt really comfortable on the Honda CBR600rr. I went fastest with a lap time of 1:38.2
Q2 was wet so I went out and got a wet setting and once I felt comfortable on the bike in the wet I came in.
So we are starting the race tomorrow in P1, huge thanks to the team for working hard all weekend.
Friday Free Practice PI
Today was our fist day on track here at round 6 of the ASBK. The weather wast that great, always so unpredictable here at Phillip Island. I had 2 practice sessions today and both were dry with was good but the track was very cold so there wasn't much grip.
We are struggling to get a good set up with the bike at this stage but made some notes from the session and making some changes to the bike tonight which should be a step in the right direction for tomorrows qualifying.
All in all it was a good day, big thanks to team for there hard work
