EDIE WINS ROUND TWO OF CANADIAN
SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP
B
odhi Edie (Yamaha) broke
legendary Canadian
Champion Jordan Szoke's run
of undefeated races at 15 in
the Canadian Pro Superbike
Championship, with victory
at round two of the series at
Grand Bend, Ontario, June
10-11.
Szoke (BMW), winner at
round one of the 2017 Champi-
onship at Shannonville Mo-
torsport Park in March, took
an early lead in the 20-lap
Superbike feature event and
looked set for another win, but
he couldn't break clear of Edie
and BMW rider Ben Young with
the race distilling into a dog-
fight between these three.
It would all go pear-shaped
for Young, however, when he
high-sided in turn three, caus-
ing the red flag to come out
and the race to be declared.
Second went to Szoke with
Kenny Riedmann (Kawasaki) in
third.
"Right off the start I didn't
quite have the pace, but I just
stayed calm, stayed patient,"
said the 2011 Brooklin Cycle
Racing Pro Rookie of the Year,
Edie. "Ben was putting in a
really hot race, and he kind of
helped me get my pace up and
get my comfort there. Jordan
got into a bit of trouble and
we were able to catch up with
him, and right away we made a
few passes stick, and kept the
pace going." CN
Twenty-one-year-
old Bodhi Edie
finally capped
Jordan Szoke's
undefeated-run at
15 in the Canadian
Superbike
Championship.
