Dunlop Supersport 300 Championship

It’s been a year where ASBK management have policed the technical rules more than ever before. This has seen multiple riders and teams omitted from classification due to technical infringements, a game changer in terms of results and contenders.

After round one concluded, several riders were penalised, with Henry Snell propelled into the Championship lead.

At round two, yet another leading competitor was disqualified due to a breach of the technical regulations. Snell did not win a race and was only on the podium in the final race of the weekend. Mercifully for the Championship leader, the wins and points were shared evenly amongst the top five and incredibly Snell left round two with an increased lead.

Cameron Dunker at round three proved that his earlier wins were no fluke. A faultless weekend of pole plus three wins, saw him take the maximum 76 points and leap into the Championship lead.

Previous leader Snell was serviceable but not dominant, and as a result he dropped from first to fourth overall. James Jacobs and Glenn Nelson were second and third overall with the minimum three points separating second through fourth.

A revitalised Taiyo Aksu took pole and two wins at round five at Morgan Park in a near-faultless display. Oceania Junior Cup Series 2021 winner Cameron Swain stood tall, taking a win in this always fiercely contested class. Henry Snell saw his Championship hopes fade, scoring a lowly 11 points, while Cameron Dunker- who was not on the podium all weekend- managed to escape Morgan Park with the Championship lead still his.

Right now, it’s nigh on impossible to predict who the Champion will be. While Dunker has an undeniably handy 29-point lead, a DNF or another poor point-scoring weekend could see Glenn Nelson or the so-hot-right-now Aksu get close to the leadership.

We’ll be off to The Bend with the Championship very much alive.
