PADDOCK NEWS Brought to you by SA RACERS CONTINUE TO SHINE All across the world in various championships, SA riders showing their worth It’s been a great year so far for SA riders racing in overseas championships, and the great results just keep coming in. Not only is Brad binder dominating in the Moto3 class, but the likes of Steven Odendaal, Dorren Lourerio, Byron Bester, Troy Bezuidenhout and Mathew Scholtz, have all proved what world class riders they are picking up great results at the highest level. Steven Odendaal (#40), racing in the Spanish Moto2 championship, went into round two after picking up his first ever win in the category at round one in Valencia. Odendaal would once again stamp his authority in round two by taking a clean sweep - pole position and 2 race wins. That put the current SA 600cc champion top of the pile in the points standing heading into round three at Catalunya. Steven managed another front row start but unfortunately luck was not on his side as he suffered a puncture to his rear tyre in the opening stages of race 1. He bounced back in race two and was stood back on the podium, where he finished in third position, extending his championship lead to 39 points from Alan Techer. Moving over to America where current SA SuperGP championship leader, Mathew Scholtz (#720), filled in for the injured Shez Morais (Shez tells all in his exclusive column later on in this issue). Mathew’s first outing was at road America where he managed to qualify 2nd fastest Superstock bike. He managed a thrilling 3rd place finish in race one. After another intense battle in race two, he was unfortunately hit off track by another rider pretty much ending his race. Mathew then travelled to Barber Motorsports park and under the expert guidance of Shez and Ricky Morais once again impressed, picking up another podium finish in race one. He managed to back that up with a 5th place in race two. Those great results secured Scholtz a ride in the Westby/Yamahalube team for the remainder of the season. His first race for the new team was at Utah and again Mathew impressed, picking up 2nd place in the superstock class in both races. Cam Petersen also had another good race weekend by picking up two 4th place finishes in the supersport class. Mathew will continue to also race here in SA for Team Emtek/Nashua Yamaha, where he is looking to win the SuperGP title. In the European Junior Cup, Dorren Lourerio (#20), Troy Bezuidenhout and Byron Bester (#12) continue to improve. The three youngsters were once again in action at the Donnington round of the WSBK championship. Dorren managed his best race result in his two year EJC campaign finishing 5th overall and just over a second from the winner (Perez). Dorren was involved in a six way battle for the lead for the entire race and was as high as second position at one stage. Byron went into race one recovering from a big crash in the Friday practice session and had a poor start to the race and fell back to 23rd position in the first lap, making it difficult to fight back on this evenly matched machinery. He did however manage to gain a few positions and finished 18th overall for the day. Troy was forced wide in the Fogarty Esses (turn 9) by another competitor resulting in a crash on lap 2 of the race. That would see him miss the next round at Misano, leaving Dorren and Byron to fly the SA flag. Dorren was on form all weekend and again qualified fifth as he did in the previous round in Donnington, UK, but a crash on lap 3 of the race ruled him out of another top points scoring position. Byron struggled getting to terms with the circuit and managed a sixteenth place qualification. His race start and some determined manoeuvres gained him track position and a ninth place finish overall, his first top ten in the championship. 10 RIDEFAST MAGAZINE JULY 2016
