Supersport winner disqualified from QLD Raceway outcomes

Tom Edwards disqualified from QLD Raceway outcomes

We take no enjoyment of reporting that after taking an ideal rating throughout the weekend within the Supersport class, an irregularity within the cylinder heard was discovered on the machine ridden by double victor Tom Edwards throughout publish race scrutineering and he has now been disqualified from the outcomes.

Whereas the official outcomes are but to be up to date, we consider that John Lytras will now be declared the spherical winner forward of Scott Nicholson and Olly Simpson.

Within the total championship standings the disqualification of Edwards will promote Olly Simpson into the championship lead forward and we consider John Lytras will transfer up into second place within the sequence factors.  We are going to publish the complete up to date outcomes as soon as they’re formally ratified.

We consider the engine within the Bikebiz YZF-R6 was ready by a third-party specialist engine builder, who had eliminated materials from the cylinder head in contravention to the foundations that apply within the Australian Supersport Championship.

I’m very a lot upset for Tom, who’s a likeable teen that shows a tremendous stage of motorcycle management it doesn’t matter what he rides.  I might like to see him on a Superbike as I feel he would show spectacular.

That mentioned, I need to congratulate Motorcycling Australia for considerably stepping up their technical management inspections this season. In the identical breath, I can think about there are various groups which can be respiratory some pretty massive sighs of aid that they have been by no means caught in latest seasons after illegally modifying their very own machines.

After two opponents within the YZF-R3 Cup / Supersport 300 Championships have been disqualified for oversize throttle our bodies on the Phillip Island season opener, we consider that no less than one different competitor competing in these classes has been discovered to be driving a non-compliant machine at QLD raceway.

The warnings have now been set, from right here on in there will probably be little sympathy for these discovered with a machine not adhering to the technical guidelines of their respective classes. The buck stops with the entrant of the machine to make sure the bikes they’re offering their riders are totally compliant with the foundations.
