Lytras then dropped to 1m15.3s and with five laps to run is now five seconds ahead of Lynch. That pairing was 16 seconds ahead of third-placed Tom Bramich.

Four seconds after Bramich, there’s an intense four-way battle for fourth place underway between Tom Drane, Scott Nicholson, Rhys Belling and Lucas Durning.

Ty Lynch was the round winner against Tom Bramich and John Lytras.

Q; The weekend was full of good points, with a win and a second goal, but if it weren’t for a bit of bad luck for John Lytras, the situation might have been different.

Ty Lynch: “The main goal was to finish every race, and Lytras still finished the first race but yes it was a big hit for him, but it’s been a long season.”

Q; And regarding race two.

Ty Lynch: “That’s one of our strengths this year, you know, it’s half your race, so I had a good jump and then I just tried to run with Lytras. throughout the race. We went about eight laps and I was out of tires and out of air, that’s all.”

Q; Is Lytras usually a little faster at a minute, and you have to find something?

Ty Lynch: “History repeats itself. He’s been super fast at Wakefield, I’m pretty much trying, but we’re just trying to fix it, and find safe places to take time out of each circuit.

“Phillip Island and Bend are strong points for me, and we’ve done a lot of testing at Bend over the last four or five months so it will be interesting to see how Lytras performs there. But he really made it up in this part of the season, he struggled a bit at the start so he really came out strong. “
