Though we did not see this earlier, I thought it would be nice to get a story which focuses on the Australian Supersport Championship round held this past weekend at Phillip Island. Two races were held for this class - much like the Superbike series - and Suzuki mounted Troy Herfoss took the overall win (a 2-1 finish). There is more here about the Waters Superbike victory as well, so dig in and take the link.

Troy Herfoss, a competitor in the Australian Supersport Championship, has taken the time to talk about the run-up to the first race of the 2010 ASBK season. He has been testing and has been quite pleased with what he has in his pit. Given the number of other racers in that class who have moved up to the Superbike or Superstock classes, Herfoss is the favorite in this year's Supersport series.
