Sydney Motorsport Park Official ASBK Test
Superbike Session Two
The track had started to clean up a little by the time the Superbikes rolled out for their second session of the day at around 1710 on Wednesday evening at Sydney Motorsports Park.
Lachlan Epis was the early pacesetter before Troy Herfoss stole his thunder halfway through the session. Broc Pearson then split the pair of them after dropping in a 1m31.354 on the DesmoSport Ducati and with seven-minutes remaining lots of red sectors started popping up on the timing monitors.
Cru Halliday the first man into the 1m30s, a 1m30.823 on his seventh lap of the session but Herfoss responded with a 1m30.637 to go top once again. Halliday was having none of that and pipped Herfoss for P1 by a whisker, a 1m30.607. Epis also improved to 1m30.780.
Senna Agius then got wound up, his pace a 1m30.881 on his ninth lap while Herfoss lowered the benchmark once again, 1m30.594.
With two-minutes to run it was Honda, Yamaha, BMW, Honda, Ducati, Ducati, BMW.
It looked as though that is how it would remain but Waters then nudged Herfoss out of P1 by two-thousandths on his final flying lap after the chequered flag. The McMartin Racing Ducati man had come in for some fork tweaks just before laying down that marker.
Arthur Sissis missed out on the second session as they tried to fix the bike problems that plagued them in the opening session.
There are still two sessions for each category to run this evening with action scheduled to take place under lights right through until 2210 tonight at SMP.
