ASBK 2022

The end of the bend – Supersport Race One

Dallas Skeer tipped for the first turn but Harrison Voight stole his lead on the first turn to establish his authority. Championship leader John Lytras is in a distant tenth while his main rivals Ty Lynch and Tom Bramich are fourth and fifth respectively.

Voight is sucking them…. At the end of the first round, Voight had 1.4 seconds after reaching 1m59,464 from a standing starting position, then followed by 1m55,696, then 1m55,388.

In second place, Dallas Skeer had plenty of clear space between him and third-placed Scott Nicholson, who was trailed behind by Tom Bramich and Ty Lynch.

As the race neared the halfway mark, Ty Lynch made two moves past first Tom Bramich and then Scott Nicholson to move up to third place. Lynch looked like he would have the pace to outpace that pair but when he overtook them, Dallas Skeer had 3.8 seconds with 5 laps to run.

Dallas Skeer proved to have enough speed to not allow Lynch to get close to him. Still, Lynch outdid Nicholson and Bramich with apparent ease.

A clean and dominant win for Harrison Voight, despite facing a clutch slip.

Dallas Skeer made his strongest run ever to take second place while Ty Lynch stepped onto the podium to continue his unremarkable championship run.

Scott Nicholson managed to sneak away from Tom Bramich in the closing stages for fourth place. Archie McDonald is a few seconds behind that pair in sixth place.

Championship leader John Lytras is seventh and will go into the deciding game this afternoon with a 22-point lead over Ty Lynch while Tom Bramich is no longer in the running for the title.
