Szoke, Young Star at Calabogie
Canadian Superbike
J
ordan Szoke and Ben Young
shared the top step of the
podium at round three of the
Canadian Superbike Champion-
ship at Calabogie Motorsports
Park,
June 27-28. Szoke found
the top step by winning Satur-
day's Superbike race one, while
the reigning
five-time CSBK
champ, Young, topped Sunday's
race two.
In Saturday's race, Szoke
passed Young on the last lap
when Young went wide, and
Szoke capitalized on it with
the win, just 0.235 of a second
ahead of Young.
Andrew Van Winkle (Honda),
Alex Michel (Kawasaki) and
Sebastien Tremblay (Suzuki)
rounded out the top five.
Unfortunately, fans didn't
get to witness a Szoke/Young
rematch because of a mechani
-
cal issue that prevented Szoke
from
starting Sunday's race two.
Young again capitalized, jumping
out to an early lead and pulling
away for a seemingly easy win,
his fifth of the year.
However, fans were enter
-
tained by a good battle for sec-
ond between David MacKay, who
crashed
out of Saturday's race,
and Van Winkle, who was third
in Saturday's race. MacKay held
down second, but Van Winkle
made a run on him as the laps
ran down. MacKay, however, held
his ground to take second, and
Van Winkle had to settle for third,
ahead of Michel and Tremblay.
In the CSBK Championship,
Young leads Szoke by 40 points
and third-place Van Winkle by 55
points.
