Yamaha Motorcycle Insurance Superbikes Continues To Forge Ahead

Desmo Sport Ducati‰Ûªs Mike Jones, currently fifth in the championship on 137 points, has had an up and down year with crashes and mechanical issues, but has also had some real positives too, taking his first victory for the season on his Ducati Panigale 1299S at Barbagallo Raceway.

The defending champ is not to be underestimated as they head in to this last round -his drive to succeed will be even more feverish after his two DNF finishes at Morgan Park. Jones will be looking to cement another victory before the season is finished.

It is known that if the DesmoSport Ducati team can sort through their bike issues the defending champ has just as much chance of a podium finish, putting pressure on the top three in championship contention.

Yamaha Racing Team's Cru Halliday, Knobby Underwear Suzuki‰Ûªs Brayden Elliott and Crankt Protein Honda Racing Team‰Ûªs Jamie Stauffer are currently sitting sixth, seventh and eighth respectively in the championship so far, and could at any stage over the weekend be in strong contention to mix up the standings, and add a new dynamic to the last ride to victory.

Halliday (124 points) adds a flare of difference as the third factory supported Yamaha Racing Team rider, jumping in the middle of battles and finishing each weekend with a mixture of results.

Knobby Underwear Suzuki‰Ûªs Elliott (120 points), and 2015 Supersport Champion is coming to the tail end of his rookie year in the Superbike class, sharing in an array of top ten finishes for the young 21-year-old. Elliott has shown that his pink beast has got just as much fight as the rest of the bikes on track. There is no doubt that Phil Tainton and Shawn Giles will be cheering on Elliott and giving him all the tips to master the tricky Winton track.
