The ASBK Saturday Photos from Queensland Raceway

Share

We are at Queensland Raceway this weekend for the Australian Superbike Championship.  Our second gallery for the weekend in a Saturday qualifying gallery of the main class – ASBK and Prostock.  We will have interviews and pictues from the support categories over the next few days.

A quick rundown from the day

Brisbane rider Robbie Bugden has secured a hard-fought QBE Australian Superbike Championship pole position during a rain-affected day of qualifying at Queensland Raceway.

The Team Volvo Group Suzuki rider registered his best time, a 1m09.646s effort, 16 laps into an 18-lap stint during the day’s first 30-minute qualifying session.

Bugden’s time would remain the benchmark during the afternoon session, where riders lapped some 8 seconds off the pace on a damp track.

The dark clouds that had been looming opened minutes prior to the QBE Superpole, forcing the cancellation of the session.

Admitting that the flying lap Superpole wasn’t his forte, Bugden was pleased to snare the top spot having led a number of provisional qualifying sessions in the past.
