Phillip Island Superbike Championship

Honda star Troy Herfoss has collected his second major trophy in 2016 by winning the two-round Phillip Island Superbike Championship, which concluded as an undercard at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix this past weekend (October 21-23).

Herfoss (Crankt Protein Honda CBR1000RR) finished with 2-3-4 results in round two, and completed the title – which began at the world superbike round back in February this year – on 107pts, ahead of Michael Blair (Campbells Home Supplies Yamaha YZF-R1, 93) and his teammate Jamie Stauffer (90).

“Conditions have been tricky this weekend, but to win a second series in 2016 is great for me and the Crankt Protein Honda team. I haven’t ridden the best this weekend but on the whole it’s been a successful year and I am already looking forward to saddling up on the new Fireblade in 2017.”

Said Herfoss.

Josh Waters (Custom Plates YZF-R1) was the overall winner in round two with a near-perfect 1-2-1 scorecard, and was particularly dominant in the wet opener which was held in treacherous conditions on Friday. Stauffer was second overall (3-1-2) ahead of Herfoss, Brayden Elliott (Knobby Underwear/Royan Truck Repairs Suzuki GSX-R1000, 4-4-3) and Blair (5-5-5).

“This is only my second ride with the new team, and they have put a great bike underneath me which makes my job easier.”

Said Waters.
