Two wins for Jervis

By John Hopkins

Victoria, BC's Oliver Jervis managed a pair of class wins in the third round of the WMRRA series in Spokane, WA last weekend.

Jervis rode his Zlock Racing 'SVZR' to victories in W Superbike and GP Twins. In the former event he overcame a poor start to move into second by the end of the opening lap and eventually assume the lead.

"In the process I managed to pull a 1:33.9 on the SVZR, which actually surprised me as I had talked to [team owner] Dan [Zlock] earlier and even said I didn't think I could do a 33. Now he'll expect those every lap," Jervis joked.

His run to victory in GP Twins was considerably easier, as Jervis grabbed the lead in turn two on the opening lap and was never challenged from there.

Jervis also managed a runner-up finish in 600 Superbike, which was delayed twice by red flags. He spent the race battlling with traditional rivals Eli Edwards and Mike Sullivan, but while he was able to get ahead of Sullivan he couldn't find a way around Edwards.

Jervis just missed getting onto the podium in all four of his races, as he lost third spot in 600 SuperSport to Aaron Guinn near the end of the race and Jervis had to settle for fourth.
