Corney steals the show at One Raceway
Hunter Corney now has one hand on the 2024 bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup trophy following a flawless outing for the 13-year-old at One Raceway from October 4-6 as part of the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul.
Corney’s clean sweep came with winning margins of between one and three seconds as he prevailed in race one ahead of Ethan Johnson and Phoenix O’Brien before Connor Lewis and Johnson completed the podiums in the balance of the fixture.
As is so often the case, the tempo increased across the weekend, with Corney finally dropping the lap record to 1m05.1145s in race three on his #40 Yamaha YZF-R15.
