SUPERBIKE

Race 1,
There wasnt really any qualifying so i was put on p2 for race 1, I really wanted to make the most of this position i got a great jump off the line but Garath seemed to move into me so i pulled in the clutch and got a terrible start, i got held up behind Scotty Moir on his 600 for a few laps and the front pack got a bit of a gap, i kept the gap to a minimum but i really needed to be right on them from the start to hang with them

Race 2,
I was determined to get a good start and not let the other guys try intimidate me, i got a great start and got to the corner 3rd but as i tipped in Hayden Fitzgerald tagged my back wheel and i had a bit of a highside. We both went down, i dont think anyone is really to blame maybe i could have given more room maybe he could have braked more anyway thats racing!

Not too much damage, nothing a bit of strapping tape cant fix, nationals here i come!
