ASBK 2022 – Round Six – Phillip Island
Dunlop Supersport 300 Race Three
The third and final Supersport 300 encounter got underway beneath sunny skies on Sunday morning at Phillip Island but a huge amount of rain had fell overnight and thus the circuit surface, despite being completely dry on most of the racing line, was probably a little green for this eight-lap bout. There was also some gusty wind at certain parts of the circuit to complicate things further.
Henry Snell took the early race lead ahead of Cam Dunker, Hayden Nelson and Taiyo Aksu but Cam Dunker moved through to the race lead early on lap two as a group of three started to break away, championship leader Dunker ahead of Nelson and Snell. The second group included Cam Swain, Sam Pezzetta, Taiyo Aksu, Glenn Nelson and Brodie Gawith.
As the race progressed that leading triumvirate continued to pull away from the second group. Dunker leading Hayden Nelson and Henry Snell and by half-race distance the trio had almost two-seconds on the chasing group.
Cam Dunker then really started to pull away from Nelson and Snell to make the race his own.
By the last lap board Dunker had 2.4-seconds on Hayden Nelson but then Aksu, Swain and Snell clashed and all went down at turn four. It looked as though Aksu might have sustained an arm injury in the tumble.
Dunker the dominant victor from Hayden Nelson and Sam Pezzetta and that was also the round results.
Dunker now has one hand and a few fingers on the Dunlop Supersport Championship trophy as Glenn Nelson crashed out of that bout which means Dunker will take a 60-point lead over Nelson into The Bend next weekend.

Live Broadcast Information
On Sunday, both SBS and Stan Sport will air a highlights package from 1300-1500 that will show the opening two Australian Superbike and Supersport races in replay, before then airing the final Superbike encounter of the weekend live. We believe that the Supersport 300 category will not get TV air-time.
