Staring Tops Australian SBK
B
ryan Staring (Kawasaki BCper-
formance, Kawasaki ZX10RR)
climbed to the top of the leader-
board of the 2019 Motul Pirelli
Australian Superbike Championship
(ASBK). He accomplished this with
a clean-sweep of all three races at
The Bend Motorsport Park for round
three of the championship during
International MotoFest, which also
hosted round two of the Asia Road
Racing Championship (ARRC).
In ASBK, Staring had the edge
over his opponents in managing tire
wear on the grippy Bend Motorsport
Park surface, showing fantastic
pace late in all three races to pick up
the full 75 championship points.
Staring also won race one of the
Asia Road Racing Championship
while filling in for injured rider Thiti-
pong Warokorn on Kawasaki Thai-
land Racing Team. Staring, however,
had to settle for second place to
Broc Parkes in race two. Still, it was
an excellent weekend for the Austra-
lian who claimed four races from a
possible five across the two series.
Tom Toparis (Yamaha) claimed
the 600cc Supersport victory, as
did Harry Khouri (Yamaha) in 300cc
Supersport. CN
Bryan Staring won
just about everything
in the third round
of the Australian
Superbike
Championship.
