Davide Gozzini and TM Racing Win the 2010 Australian Supermotard Championship - For the 3rd Consecutive Year  (Dec 6, 2010)

Davide Gozzini piloting his TM racing S1 class machine took the title of '2010 Australian Supemotard Champion', this is Davide's 3rd consecutive year of taking the title.

The highlight of the day was certainly the S1 class, with the wet conditions behind them Gozzini and Iddon put on a display of Supermoto riding the like of which has not been witnessed in Australia previously. The pair treated the crowd to the most spectacular riding with brave inside passing moves by both riders just about every lap. The pair each tried to outsmart the other with several passing moves each lap, with the pair power sliding into just about every corner. Gozzini was pushed all the way for his two wins with Iddon winning the second race ahead of Gozzini by 0.009 sec, local rider Liam Robertson was third in each race. The S1 championship was successfully defended by Gozzini, who leaves Perth on Tuesday to go to New Zealand to try and defend his Tri-Series title. Gozzini won the title with 147 points, Iddon was second with 135 and Robertson was third with 111 points.

In the S2 class sufficient riders started to ensure it achieved championship status, and WA rider Brett Stewart (TM 660) had a day to remember taking two wins in the first two races and coming home in a strong fourth place to secure his first National title. In what was proud day for WA all of the podium place getters were from WA, with Daniel Rowe taking second and Dean Taylor taking the minor podium place. Taylor had a massive highside in the morning qualifying and injured his shoulder, but still managed to ride in all three races and certainly deserved his third place in the National S2 class. The win by Stewart was just rewards for all of his efforts over several weeks in getting the track ready for these Champion ships.
