OFFICIAL PROGRAMME of choice for the Phillip Island Circuit and Waters is now unencumbered with the responsibility of being a support rider and is free to go out and let slip the Dogs of War . Three wins from three races beckons .

… we said the same of Maxwell last year on the same bike and instead of 76 points ( there is a single point for pole !), he took away just 25 , so keep that in mind before placing any bets .

Of course , you cannot discount the 2022 ASBK Champion , Yamaha Racing ’ s Mike Jones who – while he hasn ’ t always had a loving relationship with The Island – is never far away from the front and knows how to limit his losses when he ’ s not at the top of his game .

As to the rest of the contenders , in the likely absence of Bryan Staring , it ’ s an open book . Glenn Allerton aboard a BMW is always thereabouts no matter where we are racing . Yamaha ’ s Cru Halliday has usually had the measure of teammate Mike Jones at Phillip Island and will definitely be eyeing off the top spot at this round .

Penrite Honda ’ s Troy Herfoss returned to the podium in 2022 and hits 2023 with the sort of form that has carried him to a championship previously . But with a love / hate relationship with the PI circuit and some issues getting his Honda into the groove , opportunities for the Penrite Honda man to stand atop the podium might lie elsewhere .

The opening round of the season is always an incredibly tense and informative weekend . In 2023 , the stakes remain high , and the possibilities are seemingly endless . Bring it on !
