Teenage rider killed at Phillip Island

Saturday's opening Superpole session of the World Superbikes season at Phillip Island was cancelled after a fatal accident in the preceding Supersport/Superstock race.

Australian Superstock 600 rider Oscar McIntyre, 17, was killed in a crash early in the support race, leading to Superpole initially being postponed by an hour before being cancelled altogether.

A statement on the World Superbikes website read: "Infront Motor Sports and the entire SBK paddock offer their condolences to the McIntyre family and all those affected by his loss."
