BHR serve notice of intent

The BikeFin Honda Racing Team served notice of intent at Kyalami on Saturday, when Lance Isaacs put his CBR1000RR on pole for the first Interfile Superbike race of the season, and then led heat 1 from the lights to win in excellent style from Morais's Aprilia. The two were nose to tail for most of the race until Lance pulled out a massive lead at the end, to win by more than 2 secs.

Heat 2, Lance was beaten off the line by Greg Gildenhuys and Morais. After he had clawed his way back to second, by passing Gildenhuys, Lance then had a big moment at Clubhouse corner and settled down to secure second position as that was all what was needed to take the overall top step of the podium by crossing the line right on the back wheel of Morais. Newcomers to the team Chris Leeson and Dane Hellyer both fell in heat 1 due to a problem with tyre pressures attributed to a lack of experience with the new Pirelli tyres. Leeson then made a bad start to heat 2 but came back from 12th place to finish a strong 4th. "I expect to be running at the front at Killarney" he said afterwards. Dane Hellyer, returning after a year's sabbatical, also had a good ride in heat 2 to finish in 6th place. The pair will feature more strongly as the season wears on no doubt.

1000 Final Results:
1. Lance Isaacs - BikeFin CBR1000RR
2. Morais - Aprilia 1000 Factory
3. Geldenhuys - CBR1000RR

In the Interfile Supersport races, 16 year old Brent Harran showed great form on his first ride for the team and led home team mate Jacques Peskens in both races riding the all new CBR600RR, the pair placing 6th and 7th in heat 1 and 4th and 5th in heat 2. Young Brent finished 3rd and Peskens 4th overall for the day.

600 Final Results:
1. Quamby - Yam R6
2. Vos - Kawasaki ZX6RR
3. Harran - BikeFin CBR600RR
4. Peskens - BikeFin CBR600RR

Team principal Brad Anassis was in a buoyant mood at the end of the afternoon, reflecting on the R & D work done on the Hondas in the summer months, and paying tribute to his team and suspension guru Martin Paetzold.

Lance Isaacs said it best perhaps after collecting his trophy for winning overall " BikeFin Honda Racing rules"

The next round of the Interfile Superbike Championship takes place at the Killarney circuit in Cape
Town on the 13th of March.
