@jj.nahlous20 is now an #ASBK Superbike winner, and he did it with a consummate performance in today’s opening 11-lap race at Phillip Island.

On a drying track which saw a majority of the top brass opt for slicks, Nahlous made a spectacular start from the third row of the grid, weathered an early challenge from fellow Yamaha rider @camerondunker3, and then put the hammer down in the second half of the race to join the illustrious list of Aussie Superbike winners.

Dunker was second, followed by fast-finishing polesitter @harrisonvoight29 (Ducati) who passed @cruuuunechi on the final lap.

Early leader @jackfavelle.33 (Honda) finished on the tail of Voight and Halliday in fifth position, ahead of @glenn_allerton (Ducati), @joshmwaters (Ducati) and @johnnylytras_308 (Yamaha).

Race two is at 4:10pm on Saturday.
