Three Masters Superbike Championships still to be decided

This weekend (Sept 30th & Oct 1st) the Masters Superbike Championship will return to the full Mondello Park International Track with the season long Superbike, Supersport and Pre-Injection battles still to be decided. The series reaches its climax with all three championships hanging in the balance and just two riders in contention for each.

The Superbike championship battle will be all about Richie Ryan and Charles Stuart with the two Yamaha R1 riders the only men still in the running for the big prize. On track though the picture will be very different as the front of the Superbike grid will feature half a dozen riders capable of winning the three scheduled races.

Ryan and Stuart will be joined on the grid by another, very familiar, R1 as the IFS team returns to the series for the second time this season. This time however it won't be the reigning champion Robert English on board, instead it will be BSB and Road Racing superstar Alastair Seeley. Also returning to the championship will be Brian McCormack. Having sorted his new BMW, the Waterford rider led a race for the first time in three years the last time he raced at the Masters, but then suffered a massive accident and has only finished putting the bike back together in time for the season finale.

Alongside the battle for top spot in Superbike, the weekend's racing will also feature a three way fight for third place between BMW riders Mark O'Byrne, Luke Johnston and Peter Moloney. These three are covered by just six points and their fight should be one of the highlights of the weekend. Another race to watch out for will be the Superbike 'Cup' tussle where three riders are again in contention, but this time its for top spot. Andrew Murphy leads the way but needs to finish more consistently that he has all year if he is to hold back the challenge of Michael Gillan and Raymond O'Neill.

The Supersport season is still in the balance for championship leader Jason Lynn and his only challenger Ross Patterson, as just ten points separate them. Masters Supersport races are always tense, but they will be even more so this weekend as neither rider can afford to be off their game at all if they are to be crowned champ. The grid will be bolstered this weekend by the return of Mark Conlin and Kevin Keyes, two riders with extensive BSB experience. Keyes in particular arrives at Mondello Park on a high, following an incredible ninth place in the Supersport class at Oulton Park last weekend despite being on a standard Superstock machine.

For its final race of the season the Pre-Injection class will have an added prize fund. Courtesy of Motorcycle Insurance specialists, Principal Insurance, the winner of the final Pre-Injection race of the season, will have their entry fee returned. The second and third placed riders will receive a portion of their entry fee back, while there will also be a bonus of €50 for fastest lap of the weekend.

The prize money will either be an added bonus to the championship winner or a consolation prize depending on whether Darryl Sharkey or Joe Grant do enough to become Masters Pre-Injection champion. These two riders have been the class of the field all season and one of them is guaranteed to lift the title on Sunday evening. To do so they will have to contend with each other as well as two extremely quick rookies, the Prendergast brothers, Ian and Michael.

Qualifying for the Masters finale takes place on Saturday morning with extended twenty minute sessions giving the championship contenders the maximum opportunity to prepare for the weekend's racing. Race one of three is scheduled for Saturday afternoon with the final two races of the season on Sunday.

Tickets for the Masters are available at discounted prices when booked on-line from www.masterssuperbike.ie and the event can be followed on social media and the championships live timing. To whet the appetite for the weekends racing, highlights of the season so far are available on the Masters web site and YouTube channel.

Masters returns for rounds 10, 11 and 12 - Preview

The Masters Superbike Championship is back in Mondello Park this weekend as it hosts another 3 rounds over Saturday and Sunday.

In the Superbike Pro competition, Richie Ryan is excelling with the Yamaha R1M this season having stepped up from the Supersport racing category and leads the table by a healthy 82 points. Charles Stuart is having an excellent season and lies 2^nd in the championship, also on an R1, while fending off the unwanted advances from Mark O’Byrne in 3^rd who is racing a BMW S1000RR.

Full Championship table here:

http://www.masterssuperbike.ie/sbike_ssport_points/

Turning our attention to the fire-spitting SuperSport class, there’s a terrific battle ongoing between Ross Patterson and Jason Lynn. After 9 races, Patterson leads by just 5 points from Lynn, but bear in mind that we’ve seen 4 different riders taking wins this season so far, with Aaron Clifford and Korie McGreevy insisting on a view from the top of the podium! Other 600cc regulars waiting in the wings are Dean McMaster and Cup rider Eunan McGlinchey who stunned the competition with a podium in Round 8. Aaron Clifford sits in 3^rd place in the Masters Supersport Pro championship table.

The Principal Pre-Injection title is another tight affair with Joe Grant and Darryl Sharkey producing some truly fantastic dicing at every opportunity and after 9 rounds, there’s not much in it with Joe leading the table by 12 points from Darryl’s accumulated 157. Ian Prendergast is a consistent podium visitor in 3^rd on 118 points.

The Supertwins championship is tied between Dave Butler and Derek Wilson by a gap of only 9 points with Simon Reid in 3^rd. In the Production Twins, Eunan McGlinchey is coasting with Jason Cash and Alan Rigney duelling for 2^nd and 3^rd.

Dylan Lynch holds all the aces in the sidecar deck leading the drivers table with 195 points from Scooby Killough on 139.  Fergus Woodlock had a tremendous weekend at rounds 7, 8&9 to leapfrog Terry O’Reilly into 3^rd place. While in the passengers group, solo veteran Dave Butler is in a class of his own followed by Eamon Mullholland and Aidan Browne.

Jason Cassells is the runaway leader in the Lightweight Supersport division with a lead of almost 100 points from Mark Camblin in 2^nd. 3^rd place in the championship is tied between Alan Smith and Jacque Foley, so this could go down to the wire as we approach the mid-point of the season.

In the Junior Cup, there’s not much between 1^st and 3^rd where a run of bad luck could see a change in the lead. Currently, Ryan Desmond is in P1 on 136 points with Maurice Kiely right there in 2^nd on 127. Edward Keogh is in 3^rd place on 118 points but, Oisin Maher is hot on his heels in 4^th on 114.

Young Guns leader is Brendan Glover and he’s having a massive season leading the chasing pack with a tally of 204 points. Next behind him, is Nathan McGauran on 103 but, on 101 points, Cameron will be eager to make up for a fall in round 12 that cost him championship points?.

Entry per day is just €12.50 when ordered online here:
