Lytras breaks through

IT WAS A weekend of high drama as John Lytras (Caboolture Yamaha) broke through for his maiden Supersport victory and round win, while chief rival Tom Edwards (Bikebiz) faced disqualification for illegal modifications to his Yamaha.

Edwards took pole position, but Lytras converted his pace in practice and qualifying to take the opening holeshot, leading Olly Simpson (Simpson Crash), Edwards and Scott Nicholson (Traction Control Motorsports) through the initial laps. And by lap three, championship leader Tom Bramich had fallen.

Edwards bided his time before taking the lead on lap 7 to take control of the race. Nicholson gapped both Lytras and Simpson as Lytras’s steering dampener had broken free of the frame and was causing problems on the bumps.

With two laps remaining there were battles further
