ASBK 2025
Round One – Phillip Island
Australian Supersport Qualifying
Archie McDonald set a new Supersport Qualifying lap record at Phillip Island early on Friday afternoon. The youngster piloted his Stop & Seal YZF-R6 to a 1m34.945 on his fifth lap of the 20-minute qualifying session. However, that pole time is still shy of the 1m34.682 race lap record set here this time last year by eventual 2024 Australian Supersport Champion Jonathan Nahlous.
Jack Mahaffy had a good crack at knocking McDonald off pole, but ultimately couldn’t manage to put a lap together good enough to displace his team-mate from that top spot.
Olly Simpson will round out that front row ahead of Tom Bramich, Declan Van Rosmalen and Jake Farnsworth.
Cam Swain heads row three in front of Hayden Nelson and Glenn Nelson, while Hunter Ford rounds out the top ten qualifiers.
Marcus Hamod’s progress was stunted when he went down at turn six halfway through the session. Hunter Ford then went down at turn 11. Liam Waters crashed later in the session at turn five.
