There is also plenty of action across the Motul Supersport category with Troy Guenther and Callum Spriggs looking to leave their mark on round two, as well as the young Locky Taylor and experienced Brian Houghton both vying for a Moto3 / 125GP 2016 Championship. The Yamaha R3 Cup will also fire to a start this weekend, keeping fans on the edge of their seats, along with Production and Club Classes to add to the action on track.
On top of the fierce rivalries across all classes, Australian road racing legends Troy Bayliss, Steve Martin, and Shawn Giles will be in attendance at Round 2 of the ASBK, and will be involved with the ASBK Pillion Program, fan experiences, and of course flying the flag at the event as official ASBK Ambassadors.
