#Yamaha R6 Shines At #QLD #ASBK
The Yamaha R6 continues to shine following another successful round at the Australian Superbike Championship at Willowbank, Queensland over the weekend.
In the hands of YRD supported riders, the R6 dominated proceedings in the Supersport class taking the top six positions on the day and continued the blue wash in the championship.
New South Welshmen Michael Blair won the round winning both races conducted on the weekend. Both races were hard fought and race long battles that saw Blair cross the finish less than a bike length over his nearest rivals.
Ryan Taylor slotted into second overall with 2-3 race finishes, finishing one point ahead of Daniel Falzon with 4-2 results.
The consistent performance from Falzon sees him retain his lead in the championship after three rounds. He sits eight points clear of Ryan Taylor in second with Chris Quinn, another Yamaha R6 mounted rider, in third.
The manufacturers championship has Yamaha on 313 points while the next placed is on 52 points.
"The Yamaha R6 continues to prove itself time and again, in all situations and with a wide range of riders," says YRD's John Redding. "Regardless if it's the FX Superbikes or the ASBK championship, the Yamaha R6 is the weapon of choice for all 600cc road racers.
"The beauty of the R6 is that the race bikes used by these successful racers isn't far removed from the bike you can buy from any Yamaha dealer. It is a quality road bike that is quickly and easily adapted to a high performance race bike that has stood the test of time and competition."
