SZOKE AND CREVIER TRADE WINS BOWMANVILLE, Ont. The two most successful riders in Canadian Superbike history, Jordan Szoke and Steve Crevier traded wins in the fourth and fifth rounds of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship at Mosport International Raceway Sunday. After Brantford, Ont.’s Szoke took his Canadian Kawasaki Motors Kawasaki ZX-10R to victory in the morning race, held under sunny skies, Maple Ridge, B.C. native Crevier replied with the win in the wet afternoon race on the Team Toyota Yamaha / Fast Company Yamaha YZF-R1. The pair leaves Mosport tied for the lead in all-time national Superbike wins with 24 apiece. Sunday morning’s race was rescheduled from Saturday afternoon after weather conditions and time constraints forced series officials to postpone it. Szoke actually finished second on the road to the Suzuki Acceleration Racing Suzuki GSX-R1000 of Clint McBain but inherited the victory when the Cochrane, Alta. racer was penalized four positions for a jump start. Crevier finished second, just .085 seconds behind the Kawasaki rider, with 15-year-old rookie Pro Brett McCormick placing third aboard another Canadian Kawasaki Motors Kawasaki ZX-10R. “I wasn’t really going for the win,” Szoke said after his fourth Superbike victory in a row. “I had no idea Clint had jumped the start. But we’ve put ourselves in the right position all year and this run has been pretty cool.” The back end of the doubleheader started in heavy rain and featured a spectacular lead battle between Crevier and the Team Suzuki / Blackfoot / Picotte Performance Suzuki GSX-R1000 of Francis Martin. Martin crashed just a few corners from the finish and Crevier picked up the win. Granby, Que.’s Pascal Picotte placed second on his Team Suzuki / Blackfoot / Picotte Performance Suzuki GSX-R1000, edging the Team Toyota Yamaha / Brooklin Cycle Yamaha YZF-R1 of Kevin Lacombe at the line. “I don’t consider myself a rain rider but I was pretty comfortable out there and the tires were working well in the rain,” said the 42-year-old Crevier. “We got off to a slow start this year with the R1 but we’re getting it figured out now.” Szoke was in the midst of the lead fight in the second race but crashed exiting the final turn on the wet track on lap 11 of 14. The 28-year- old defending Parts Canada Superbike champion recovered to finish seventh. Despite seeing his win streak come to an end Szoke maintains a healthy lead in the Parts Canada Superbike standings after five of seven rounds with 236 points to the 188 of Crevier. A race win is worth 50 points. The series continues at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Shubenacadie, N.S. Aug. 10-12. In other action at Mosport, Nepean, Ont.’s Andrew Nelson won the Yoshimura Pro 600 Sport Bike event on his Z1 Cycletech Yamaha YZF-R6. Nelson finished second on the track to Crevier but the B.C. rider was penalized four positions for a jump start. Sherbrooke, Que.’s Martin placed second on his Suzuki GSX-R600 and Yamaha rider Lacombe of Granby, Que. completed the podium. Saturday’s race winner Jordan Szoke of Brantford, Ont. retired with engine trouble on his Canadian Kawasaki Motors Kawasaki ZX-6R. Yanik Goudreault of Plessisville, Que. won his first career International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW Amateur 600 Sport Bike Championship race on his Suzuki GSX-R600. Points leader Paul Glenn of Keene, Ont. was second on another Suzuki and Israel Johnas of Oak Lake, Man. placed third aboard a Kawasaki ZX-6R. Michael Leon of Beaconsfield, Que. regained the lead of the Thunder twins championship with a victory on his Buell XB9R. Orangeville, Ont.’s Derek Vammus and Montreal rider Martin Grande traded victories in the Suzuki SV650 National Cup races. In the Pro Honda Oils Women’s Cup Challenge event Shawna Aron of Halton Hills, Ont. won in the Expert class aboard her Yamaha YZF-R6 and Ottawa rider Bonnie Wilczynski placed first in Novice riding a Kawasaki ZX- 6R.
