ASBK SUPERSPORT 300

It โ€™ s been a year where ASBK management have policed the technical rules more than ever before . This has seen multiple riders and teams omitted from classification due to technical infringements , a game changer in terms of results and contenders .

After round one concluded , several riders were penalised , with Henry Snell propelled into the Championship lead .
At round two , yet another leading competitor was disqualified due to a breach of the technical regulations . Snell did not win a race and was only on the podium in the final race of the weekend . Mercifully for the Championship leader , the wins and points were shared evenly amongst the top five and incredibly Snell left round two with an increased lead . Cameron Dunker at round three proved that his earlier wins were no fluke . A faultless weekend of pole plus three wins , saw him take the maximum 76 points and leap into the Championship lead .
Previous leader Snell was serviceable but not dominant , and as a result he dropped from first to fourth overall . James Jacobs and
Glenn Nelson were second and third overall with the minimum three points separating second through fourth .
A revitalised Taiyo Aksu took pole and two wins at round five at Morgan Park in a near-faultless display . Oceania Junior Cup Series 2021 winner Cameron Swain stood tall , taking a win in this always fiercely contested class . Henry Snell saw his Championship hopes fade , scoring a lowly 11 points , while Cameron Dunker- who was not on the podium all weekend- managed to escape Morgan Park with the Championship lead still his .
Right now , it โ€™ s nigh on impossible to predict who the Champion will be . While Dunker has an undeniably handy 29-point lead , a DNF or another poor point-scoring weekend could see Glenn Nelson or the so-hot-right-now Aksu get close to the leadership .
We โ€™ ll be off to The Bend with the Championship very much alive .
