BIDDLE
SUPERSPORT 600
In the Supersport 600 class, it was a
matter of finally getting the championship
underway after proceedings had been
abandoned at Ruapuna. A serious crash
and then an oil spill on the track ruined any
chance of the Supersport 600 class being
able to complete any races a week ago, but
organisers made up for that with an extra
race in the programme for these racers at
Timaru.
Manukau’s Toby Summers ended up
as the most dominant individual in this
class at Timaru, winning three of the four
Supersport 600 races. He crashed out of his
other race, but still had enough points to top
the podium.
Second in the standings in this class after
round two is Rangiora’s Avalon Biddle, who
showed that consistency counts for plenty,
her 3-4-2-3 score-card for the weekend
placing her second overall, while Tapanui’s
Seth Devereux is a close third in the
standings. Devereux crashed out of race one
but then followed that with 2-1-2 results.
“I’m riding well at the moment and feeling
confident,” said 45-year-old father-of-two
Summers.
“These South Island tracks seem to suit my
aggressive style. Hampton Downs coming up
is not my favourite track, but I’m still looking
forward to the races there.”
Other class leaders after the weekend’s
event are Palmerston North’s Jacob
Stroud (Supersport 300 class); Papamoa’s
Leon Jacobs (250 Production class); Jacob
Stroud and Chris Huddleston first equal
(in Superlites); Christchurch’s Andrew
McLaughlin (650 Pro Twins, provisional only);
Australia’s Yanni Shaw (125 GP); Hamilton’s
Jesse Stroud (GIXXER Cup, provisional only);
Christchurch’s Dennis Charlett and Will Clim
(sidecars).
