Liminton’s form continues with Motorsports TV Supersport Pole
Nic Liminton (Yamaha Australia, Yamaha YZF-R6) has continued his good form, edging Tom Toparis (Leda Nutrition, Yamaha YZF R6) to claim pole position for tomorrow’s first Motorsports TV Supersport race of Round 4 of the Motul Pirelli Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) at Queensland’s Morgan Park (July 5-7). Liminton posted a 1:15 176 to top the timesheets, ahead of Toparis’ 1:15.406 and Team Suzuki ECSTAR Australia’s Reid Battye (Suzuki GSX-R, 1:15.542).
“It was really unexpected, to be honest I wanted to get in the top three positions so to get pole position… I’m super happy, couldn’t do it without the team, it’s an awesome start to the weekend” Liminton said.
Toparis’ 1:15.406 was fastest in the morning’s first Qualifying session, but he couldn’t lower the mark any further in the second session, leaving Liminton to claim the fastest time of the day. Callum Spriggs (Allsite Concrete Cutting, Yamaha YZF R6) will start on the inside of the second row after setting a 1:15.756. Oli Bayliss (Cube Racing, Yamaha YZF R6) set his 1:15.800 on his spare bike after he crashed at Turn 6 in the first session. Queenslander Corey Turner (52Motorsports, Honda CBR600, 1:16.019) rounded out the top six.
Round 4 of the 2019 Motul Pirelli Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) continues from Morgan Park, Queensland until July 7. For updates, information, and to purchase tickets, visit ASBK.com.au
