Glenn Allerton, riding the Dynotech Maxima BMW HP4, has
completed a clean sweep in Round 1 of the QBE Australian Superbike
Championship held at Symmons Plains in Tasmania.
The BMW rider was the quickest man in every session over the
weekend, taking maximum points from the round and now leads the
championship by 11 points.
In Race 1, Allerton got off to a slow start, but an early race
incident saw the 'red flag' deployed and the race was subsequently
re-started. Allerton made the most of the re-start and dominated
the race from start to finish.
In Race 2, Allerton and the BMW HP4 continued the domination of
the 16-lap race, taking the win and making a statement of intent
for the rest of the season.
Allerton was thrilled with the round. "I am really happy with
this weekend's racing; it couldn't have gone much better. This is
what we have all been working for. Hopefully we can keep it
together and keep building," said Allerton.
General Manager BMW Motorrad Australia and New Zealand, Tony
Sesto, was delighted with the results.
"Congratulations to Glenn and the Dynotech Maxima BMW Team. The
BMW HP4 is a new model and they have worked hard in getting the
bike ready for action. The results speak for themselves, it's going
to be an exciting season of racing," said Sesto.
