2001 Australian 250 Production - Round 3 - Queensland Raceway - Race 1 - MCNEWS.COM.AU

Russell Holland got the jump off the line, Clarke goes into the first turn 5th but comes out of turn 2 in 2nd.

Holland and Clarke on it hard and sliding these little Aprilia's around quite a bit.

Clarke in to the lead, Holland back through, these two swapping paint everywhere.

The battle for 2nd is waging between Bugden, Attard, Allerton, Kelly, Henderson.

Holland and Clarke still going hammer and tong.

Henderson up to 5th. Holland and Clarke cross the line to start lap 4 side by side, then it is Kelly in 3rd, Bugden 4th, Henderson 5th, Attard 6th.

Henderson coming on strong by the look of it, especially under the brakes but that is hurting his exit speed in places. The battle for second is still 5-way, Bugden, Henderson, Allerton, Kelly and Attard are the protagonists.

Holland and Clarke are still side by side everywhere.

Henderson up to 3rd around the back of the circuit. Out of the final turn Holland gets the run and takes the win from Clarke. Attard 3rd, Bugden 4th, Henderson 5th, Kelly 6th.
