ASBK 2022 – Round Six – Phillip Island
Supersport Race Two
Tom Bramich again capitalised on his pole position to lead John Lytras through turn one but the championship leader was all over him and took the race lead on the run towards turn four.
Bramich came back at him though and moved back into the lead as both Ty Lynch and Dallas Skeer crashed at turn ten after clashing. That will be a costly DNF for Lynch in the chase for the Michelin Supersport Championship, especially if Lytras was to take full points here this afternoon.
Tom Bramich continued to lead Lytras around the Phillip Island Circuit but Jack Passfield closed them down as the race approached half race distance and virtually nothing separated that leading trio, and they were on their own up front, Scott Nicholson in fourth was more than ten-seconds behind.
Passfield moved up to second place with four laps to run and later on that same lap took the lead from Bramich. Tom came back at him early on the next lap though to move back through to the lead, but Passfield then got the better of him at turn four. Next lap around he did manage to hold off Bramich into turn one to hang on to the lead, but still nothing separated that trio up front.
Tom Bramich moved through to the race lead early on the last lap, but Passfield again got him at turn four after Bramich left the door open. Lytras still right there in third.
Passfield got great drive through Hayshed but then ran in way too deep at MG Hairpin and left the door wide open for Bramich to go through to the lead. Passfield recovered to stay in front of Lytras but the race victory went to Tom Bramich, less than a tenth of a second covering the top three placegetters.
The best of the rest was Scott Nicholson in fourth who crossed the line 15-seconds behind the podium finishers at the end of the ten lap race.
With no points for Lynch from this encounter John Lytras extends his championship points lead over the South Australian to 23.5-points.
