Josh Waters did not have the best weekend. His Suzuki got stuck in third gear during the second race and that caused him to have a weekend 3 - 12 finish. Waters is not deterred, though, and plans on fighting hard to win throughout the rest of the series. Given the fact that he is the current champion, I do believe he has what it takes to grab on to the points lead and take it to the finish line in 2010.

The Ducati Motologic team had a great debut at the Australian Superbike Championship event this past weekend. Rider Jamie Stauffer actually led race 1 for a time - finishing 4th and 2nd, and teammate Jordan Burgess finished 10th and 8th - fantastic for his first race event ever in ASBK. All things considered, the Ducati team did very well at Phillip Island.
