Billy McConnell was back on the top step of the podium as he stormed to his second win of the season.

The Aussie took the lead from Richard Kerr on lap 14 of the 24-lap battle and was able to hold it to the end as he led countryman Brayden Elliott over the line with more than half a second in hand.

Aprilia-mounted Tom Ward was third, as early leader Kerr had to settle for fourth ahead of FHO Racing with Kobelco’s Alex Olsen who finished fifth.
